Headquartered in the UK, Logicalis Group’s origins go back to
1997 when Datatec acquired Logical Networks plc, a UK based
networking integrator (a company that had been established since
1988). From 1997 to 2000, Datatec embarked on a globalisation
strategy, acquiring more than 20 IT integration and services
companies across Europe, North and South America and
Australasia.
In 2001, Logicalis Group, which is 100% owned by Datatec, became
the formal statutory holding company of the Logicalis operating
companies.
In 2003, Logicalis received an unsolicited offer from IBM for
the Group's Australian and New Zealand businesses. The disposal was
concluded in March 2004. Since then, Logicalis has continued to
acquire companies throughout Europe, North and South America, and
Asia Pacific, focusing on IT integration solutions and network and
enterprise systems.
Logicalis Group currently has nearly 2,500 employees worldwide
providing services and solutions to some 6,000 corporate and public
sector customers.
