Ireland’s largest, Irish-owned Managed IT Services Provider, Nostra has recently acquired Dublin-based IT firm, Definitive Solutions. This is the second acquisition made by Nostra in 2023 and the sixth firm it has acquired since the company embarked on its expansion and growth strategy.
Just two weeks ago, Nostra announced that it had acquired Galway-based, Passax, a company with expertise in telecoms and cloud-based PBX solutions. It is the second of a number of strategic acquisitions which Nostra hopes to complete in 2023 and which are aligned with Nostra’s long-term expansion and growth.
The latest acquisition of Definitive Solutions will now join the string of companies Nostra has purchased and will add an additional €5 million to Nostra’s annual turnover which is expected to reach €50 million by the end of 2023.
