Somerville, one of the most experienced end-to-end technology service providers in Australia, announced it will be acquired by Atturra. The acquisition brings together two Australian IT services leaders with a mutual focus on adding value to IT transformation outcomes for customers. Atturra provides a range of enterprise advisory, consulting, IT services and solutions while Somerville’s services include connectivity, security, cloud, modern workplace, and hardware and software procurement.
From the outset, Somerville’s business approach has incorporated a company culture determined to satisfy the evolving technology and service needs of its customers.
