News DataSolutions rebrands to Climb Channel Solutions UK
DATASOLUTIONS is officially rebranding to Climb Channel Solutions UK as the distributor eyes up expansion in key markets across Europe. Following the acquisition of Dublin-based DataSolutions in October 2023, Climb Channel Solutions is now focusing on its growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The group expects to generate 12% growth in this region during its 2024 financial year (FY 2024). It also anticipates 12-15% global growth in FY 2024, following a successful 2023 which saw it surpass $1.2 billion in revenues globally.
This ongoing expansion will also be driven by mergers and acquisitions (M&A), with Climb Channel Solutions recently acquiring Douglas Stewart Software & Services, LLC (“DSS”) in the US. Going forward, it will be focusing on Western Europe and the rest of EMEA as part of its M&A strategy. Climb Channel Solutions UK will be pivotal to the company’s
growth plans due to its success driven by long standing relationships with high-performing Tier 1 technology vendors in the UK – including Citrix, ManageEngine, SolarWinds, and VAST Data. Furthermore, it introduced a number of new vendors to the UK market earlier this year including ControlUp, Panzura, Seagate and Libraesva. Together, these have enhanced the distributor’s capabilities across the areas of cyber security, IT management, networking, and compliance.
The company has also invested in a new ERP system and cutting-edge technologies, including Artificial Intelligence and data analytics, to streamline its operations and enhance its services for resellers and partners. Dale Foster, CEO of
Climb Global Solutions, said: “The integration and rebranding of DataSolutions marks a vital step in our growth journey and we are excited about the future. On that, mergers and acquisitions will remain a key part of our
global strategy – enabling us to extend our geographic reach, add to the team, and bring in new vendors. We do have targets in mind, ones that fit into our overall plan and will bring value to the business, as well as our reseller partners. “Of course, we remain dedicated to our mission of
creating an uncontested marketplace for emerging tech, along with delivering exceptional service. Our aim is not just to stick with what’s proven and profitable today but to invest in and support the solutions that will shape tomorrow. By leveraging the expertise of our people, focusing on strategic partnerships, and engaging end- users, we will further solidify our position as a trusted partner in the UK and further afield, thus propelling the business forward.”
