Press release: ALSO Polska enlarges its footprint

The merger of ALSO Polska and Roseville Investments, the successor company of ABC Data, is finalized. From now on the business operations of the two ALSO Holding companies will be conducted solely by ALSO Polska. With the completion of this step the newly formed company is one of the leading technology providers and IT suppliers in Poland.

“Integration of the two organizations will strengthen ALSO’s position in Poland,” says Gustavo Möller-Hergt, CEO of ALSO Holding AG (SIX: ALSN). “With a powerful, committed and highly competent management team at the start, we have laid the foundations to develop new perspectives for the dynamic growth of our business partners and our own organization. Operating as one company, ALSO Polska is now able to offer its customers and partners a substantially enlarged range of business and technological solutions that until now were not available on such a scale in Poland.”

Supply, Solution and Services: The newly formed organization will participate in ALSO’s 3S business models and its sophisticated IoT, virtualization, cybersecurity and 3D printing platforms. At the same time InterLink, the established purchase management platform, will remain in place and the ALSO Web shop platform will continue to be available. InterLink has already been integrated into ALSO’s SAP system, supporting commercial, warehouse and accounting processes. At the same time all customers will now gain access to the ALSO Cloud Marketplace (ACMP), a technologically advanced cloud-based platform offering IT services in PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), WaaS (Workplace-as-a-Service) and DaaS (Device-as-a- Service) modes.

The Polish organization will also gain access to ALSO’s European Centers of Competence to provide its customers with competitive offerings and its vendors and suppliers with a broad value proposition.
