Innovatec Africa, a leading training, connectivity, voice, mobile and technology
solutions company, has acquired 100% ownership of Meet.Inc, a division of Teljoy
Business Systems (Pty) Ltd, effective 1 May 2015.
Meet.Inc is an industry leader in video conferencing and boardroom solutions in
South Africa, and the acquisition allows Innovatec Africa to provide a dedicated
market offering. According to Quinton van der Burgh, Chief Executive Officer at
Innovatec Africa, “this acquisition provides us with the opportunity to extend the value
and service we offer to our existing customers and increase our capabilities within
the market. We are now able to effectively manage each project confident that we
will exceed customers’ expectations.’
Meet.Inc is a group of highly specialised professionals boasting 12 years as a market
leader, and are known as pioneers in the corporate audio visual, meeting and
collaboration industries. “We have chosen Meet.Inc because of their experience
within their industry’ states Quinton, “we are on the path of mergers and acquisitions
and having created a fantastic brand – Innovatec Africa, we recognised Meet.Inc as
a sustainable business that will assist us to achieve our growth’.
Marc Atkinson, Divisional Head of Meet.Inc states, “When we were approached by
Innovatec Africa, we saw the synergy between our companies and knew that it would
be a solid fit for us because their aggressive acquisition and expansion strategies
would satisfy our growth ambitions.’
This is echoed by Rob Katzen, Group CEO of the Teljoy Group, when he says,
“Meet.Inc has created an enviable reputation and customer based in video
conferencing and boardroom solutions division over the past few years. However, it
requires a partner with IT and telecommunications as its core focus in order to
develop its full potential and we believe that the integration of Innovatec and Meet.Inc
will create a real opportunity for both businesses.’
Meet.inc have made it their mission to streamline communication in corporate
meeting spaces with technology solutions that are both affordable and maximise
business productivity using simple solutions that are practical and innovative and
built on existing infrastructure to maximise business productivity and growth.
“This acquisition not only improves the total service offering from Innovatec Africa, it
also provides our collective customers with a single point of contact for these
services and allows Innovatec Africa to enable value added services and support’
ends Marc.
As a result of the acquisition, Innovatec Africa will have an employee base of 130
professionals, with sought-after skills and experience in this highly technical industry.
