Wipro, 11:11 Systems, Brillio

At the end of 2021, there were several last-minute channel acquisitions. Wipro acquired Edgile, a cybersecurity consulting provider, for $230 million. Together, Wipro and Edgile will develop Wipro CyberTransform, an integrated suite that will help enterprises enhance boardroom governance of cybersecurity risk and invest in cyber strategies.

11:11 Systems was another firm able to squeeze in a deal before the holidays. The managed infrastructure solutions provider acquired iland, a global cloud service provider. iland’s cloud services include hosting for infrastructure (IaaS), disaster recovery (DRaaS) and backup as a service (BaaS). 

Brian Ussher, iland‘s president and co-founder, said:

“Aligning iland and 11:11 Systems’ visions will address our customers’ need to simplify the management of their infrastructure into the hands of a few trusted vendors, so they can focus on more pressing initiatives like their mission-critical applications, edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI).”

And Brillio entered into one of the last deals of the year by acquiring Cedrus Digital, a digital transformation and cloud consulting firm.  The move increases Brillio’s proximity to its strategic relationships in North America.
