Hong Kong -- End-to-end digital solutions provider Vega Global (Vega) today announced the acquisition of Kodum, a leading technology services provider operating in ANZ and the Pacific Islands, to expand their services across the region and better service their multi-national clients.
Kodum has over 16 years’ experience in providing audio-visual, automation & conferencing solutions that connect, unify and engage customers across ANZ and Pacific Islands markets. While Vega, with regional offices in over 16 APAC locations, provides a consistent approach to consulting, project management, and managed services to streamline their offerings to their local and multi-national clients.
With the addition of Kodum, Vega strengthens and expands its global network, extending its unique service offerings to cater to its growing client base.
"Vega Global and Kodum share similar values and approach to customer service, and a desire to integrate best-practice digital solutions that help companies connect, collaborate, and work more efficiently," said Matthew Deayton, Deputy CEO of Vega Global. "This partnership is a seamless way to build out our industry-leading capabilities and better support our clients in the ANZ and Pacific Islands market,"
Driving the evolution of the AV IT industry in APAC
Vega and Kodum both identify a shift in the AV market towards IT as a key opportunity to advance. As a result, the businesses are developing their in-house abilities to address this shift and elevate their services to provide complete and relevant digital solutions.
Vega and Kodum have complementary vertical market experiences, particularly MNCs, government, hospitality, retail, and education. By coming together, there are greater opportunities to strengthen and broaden their capabilities.
International experience and leveraging global technology trends
Vega's extensive network of offices throughout the APAC region will bring their international experiences and understanding of global trends to ANZ and the Pacific Islands teams.
The combined entities' long-standing relationships with all major manufacturers ensures clients will be receiving a tier 1 supply chain experience and preferential support.
The acquisition sees Kodum Executive, Andrew Green, taking on the position of CEO of Vega ANZPAC (Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands), while current Vega Australia Country Manager, Nikolce Blazevski is promoted to Global Project Director at Vega Global.
"This fusion fast tracks Kodum’s transformational journey and will deliver great opportunities for not only our customers but also our team," Green said. "Strategically, this elevates us beyond the traditional AV integrators whilst pushing us further into IT markets, enabling us to offer unique and expanded services.”
“We’re even more excited about the opportunities ahead of us as we integrate capabilities, expand and push into new markets across the region,” Green said, “We also recognize this investment as a stamp of approval for what the company has achieved so far.”
Vega intend to build on Kodum’s successes and challenge the status quo, combining skill sets to build deeper and broader market penetration throughout the ANZ and Pacific Islands.
