Investcorp, through its portfolio company Calligo Ltd., has acquired Itomic Voice & Data Ltd (Itomic), an IT managed services provider. Jersey-based Calligo was backed by Investcorp Technology Partners with more than $20 million to help accelerate its product innovation and international expansion plans.

Gilbert Kamieniecky, Managing Director and Head of Investcorp's Private Equity Technology business, said: “We invested in Calligo because of its strong position in the attractive and growing data privacy and managed services market.

"We are pleased with how the talented team at Calligo has established the company as one of the global leaders in managed services, even forging a new area in privacy-focused managed data services, with a successful history of acquiring and integrating complementary businesses."

The addition of Itomic Voice & Data makes Calligo "one of the largest IT service providers in Ireland, with sizeable presence in both Cork and Dublin – Ireland’s two largest economic regions.

"We focused our current expansion strategy on Ireland because of its growing number of innovative businesses developing new data-reliant tools and services,” said Julian Box, CEO of Calligo.
