Park Place Technologies Acquires Unitech’s Third Party Maintenance
Services
Park Place Technologies, a leading global provider of data center
and networking optimization solutions, has acquired Unitech's
third-party maintenance (TPM) business. The acquisition strengthens
Park Place's position as one of Brazil's largest TPM providers,
expanding its reach in the world's fifth-largest country.
Combined Expertise for Enhanced Customer
Service
Unitech, founded in 1989, has a long-standing reputation for
serving a diverse client base, including major financial
institutions, telecommunication and utility companies. Park Place's
global expertise will greatly amplify Unitech's established
presence in the Brazil market.
“Unitech and Park Place serve clients with the same core values.
We both operate with a responsive, client-first approach, and
communicate with clarity and transparency. We share customer
service strategies, and have a native understanding of the Brazil
TPM market,” said Unitech owner Ramon Hasky.
Hasky said Unitech’s long-term partnership with Park Place,
“gives us confidence in how our clients will now be served. Park
Place is a global company with a strong Latin American presence
that offers more scale and an innovative IT lifecycle portfolio.
Our customers will benefit from these added Managed Services and
Professional Services offerings.”
Park Place, now one of Brazil’s furthest-reaching TPMs, will add
nearly 20,000 Unitech assets to its already robust service legacy
in Brazil.
“We are taking the hard-earned credibility of Unitech’s 30-plus
years and leveraging our passion for client services with Park
Place’s global resources,” said Unitech’s CEO, Claudio Miranda.
“Unitech’s legacy now has an exciting new chapter; our people and
our clients are in good hands with Park Place.”
Unitech will continue to independently operate its Hardware,
Software and related Professional Services sales.
“Park Place operates in Brazil primarily in markets with a
history of great relevance and positive expectations, particularly
in the management, maintenance, and support of mission-critical
hardware,” Luiz Fernando Monteiro, IDC Senior Market Analyst, IT
Services, Brazil, said. “It is an operation focused on service
lines that account for about 19% of the total service market in the
country. These are essential services, especially in a world of IT
distributed across internal infrastructures, own and third-party
Data Centers, public and private clouds, with a demand for very
high availability and resilience for the continuity of operations
of companies across the entire Brazilian market.”
Roy Illsley, Chief Analyst for Omdia, said Omdia's research
shows that Brazil is a rapidly growing market for the data center
business. “In fact, São Paulo accounts for 85% of new Data Center
building in the country,” he said. “However, the current Data
Center market in Brazil is mostly small sized Data Centers that are
distributed between the major cities. Brazil, represents an ideal
market for a vendor like Park Place as the growth in data centers
will need skills to ensure they can operate efficiently and
effectively, and technology vendors with services and
solutions are a perfect fit.”
Chris Adams, Park Place Technologies President and CEO, said the
company’s history of investing in people and resources globally
will continue.
“We are committed to delivering a great experience to all our
customers worldwide,” he said. “We will continue to acquire
companies like Unitech that bring a talented workforce and unique
capabilities driven by an unparalleled customer experience to our
international partners.”
