The partnership gives Bulb Tech access to expertise in IT support and cloud computing. ADECS-Maple gains access to specialist voice communications services and Bulb Tech’s wider infrastructure and global client reach.
Garath Williams, chief executive of Bulb Tech, will join the board of ADECS-Maple to help foster a close working relationship between both businesses in addition to helping specifically drive ADECS’s sales strategy. He will work closely with Amrik Bhabra, the chief executive and founder of ADECS-Maple, who will remain closely involved in the business whilst taking on an additional objective to build new strategic alliances with distributors and customers.
ADECS-Maple was founded in 1992 in the University of Warwick Science Park initially specialised in selling IBM hardware and Microsoft and Sage software to clients in the Midlands. The company later acquired Maple, which gave it a foothold in web-design. Amrik’s leadership positioned ADECS-Maple into the comprehensive IT Managed Services specialist it is today.
Bulb Tech has enjoyed rapid growth in the past 12 months, since CEO Williams joined as a co-founder, bringing his 30+ years plus of industry expertise to establish close product partnerships to serve Bulb’s customers.
The strategic partnership will focus on delivering five pillars of product and customer excellence: cloud computing, cyber security, connectivity (phones and internet), collaboration (virtual meeting spaces and solutions) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions.
Williams said: “This really is a fantastic opportunity for both businesses. We have complementary offerings, and the nature of the partnership will foster a truly close working relationship that will benefit both sets of customers. We already had an excellent working relationship with Amrik, and this builds on what we believe will be very exciting journey.”
Amrik Bhabra added: “I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved as a company over more than 30 years. We have some incredibly loyal clients and an amazing set of employees. But it is the right time to consider the future. For our customers, this is business as usual, enhanced. The partnership with Bulb Tech will allow us to move to another level in terms of our customer offerings and services level, benefiting all our stakeholders long term.”
