Sepura announces today the acquisition of Portalify OY ("Portalify"), the Helsinki-based applications developer.
Portalify provides end-to-end solutions for mobile working via a
suite of software applications which increase the safety,
productivity and efficiency of professional mobile radio users,
regardless of the communications standard in use by the customer.
Its existing portfolio includes task management, asset location,
image messaging and database query applications.
Portalify's technology is proven, robust and possesses market
leading USPs. Its products, which are primarily deployed within the
public safety sector in Western Europe, are highly customisable. In
addition, as an established Sepura's Solutions Partner of several
years standing, Portalify has a good knowledge of Sepura's
customers, their requirements, and the capabilities of TETRA.
All of the above will undoubtedly facilitate a seamless and smooth
integration into Sepura's customers' systems and enable the
promotion of Portalify's applications through Sepura's
comprehensive worldwide routes to market.
With the acquisition of Sepura Systems in May 2012 Sepura made a
significant step towards achieving its goal of becoming a leading
provider of critical communications solutions, by combining its
established TETRA terminal portfolio with an infrastructure
supplier. With Portalify's acquisition Sepura enhances its
applications portfolio and further strengthens its full solution
offering to the market.
Gordon Watling, CEO of Sepura, commented: "Software tools and
applications are becoming increasingly important to our customers
as they seek to enhance user safety and drive operational
efficiency from their investment in digital communications.
Portalify's software expertise complements our existing product
portfolio, enabling us to broaden the service we offer our
customers while securing long-term relationships with them.
We look forward to enabling Portalify to reach its full potential
with Sepura and our established global partner network".
Hannu Aronsson, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Portalify,
said: "Sepura has a strong track record of product leadership, and
we are proud that Portalify's applications will become an integral
part of Sepura's solutions. This deal provides the
springboard for Portalify to reach more customers, faster, than we
could as an independent company, and we are excited by the new
opportunities that Sepura will provide".
