Insight Enterprises has announced the acquisition of New World Tech (NWT), a consultancy-led firm known for its work in digital transformation across both public and private sectors. The purchase aims to bolster Insight's technological capabilities and expertise in guiding organisations on their digital journey.

Adrian Gregory, President of EMEA at Insight, commented on the significance of the acquisition. "Organisations need a partner to advise, design, build and implement their future business models using technology, accelerating their digital journey. With the addition of NWT, Insight can build upon its expertise as a Solutions Integrator. Their approach and techniques are rooted in diligence and precision, and they have a reputation for delivering quality, timeliness and value," he said.

NWT has a strong presence in the UK and has earned recognition within the industry for successful execution of complex projects. The firm is noted for its real-world IT experience and strategic support in various sectors including financial services, automotive, TMT, and public services. The consultancy is predominantly staffed by senior-level professionals such as CTOs, programme managers, project managers, and solutions architects.

NWT focuses on a variety of technical services including sourcing strategy and management, technical advisory services, ServiceNow solutions, business transformation, strategic roadmap development, integration enablement, business change management, and programme assurance. It is well-regarded for addressing the growing needs of businesses using automation, data-driven workflows and customer-grade user experiences.

In a statement, Glenn Ballard, CEO of NWT, expressed optimism about the merger. "Our acquisition by Insight speaks volumes of their recognition of the talent and expertise that we have at NWT. Insight has established an award-winning reputation as a trusted partner, committed to helping organisations meet their full potential. NWT has years of experience in strategy and transformation," Ballard noted.

The acquisition is seen as a strategic move by Insight to enhance its portfolio and client service capabilities. "Insight has also acquired new capabilities, including developer power (Amdaris), an automation engine (Infocenter), cloud competence (SADA) and Insight's existing global capabilities. We believe our skills and experience will perfectly complement Insight's portfolio. With Insight's expansive partnerships and accreditations, we are confident that we can help our clients achieve their goals faster and with greater agility," Ballard added.

Insight Enterprises is committed to driving transformation using advanced technology solutions. The integration of NWT's services is expected to provide clients with more robust and comprehensive solutions.

Ballard concluded, "With NWT joining Insight, we bring our world-class business and IT strategy capabilities together with a global technology and services organisation, enabling us to deliver greater value to our clients when it's most needed. Joining forces with Insight will make us an unstoppable entity in the fast-paced world of transformation."
