Harris, a global vertical market software provider, adds
telecommunication solutions to its portfolio with the acquisition
of Seattle-based Globys, Inc. (Globys).
Globys is a leader in digital customer
experience solutions for telecom carriers in the
business-to-business (B2B) domain. The Globys B2B Portal Suite
offers self-service products that enable business customers to buy,
manage and pay for all products, services, and devices online –
wireless, wireline and IoT. The Globys TEM Solution provides
telecom expense management capabilities as both a technology
platform for other TEM providers and as a SaaS service to
enterprise customers. Both solutions combine customer data,
workflows and customer-specific API integrations with a full-range
of capabilities to make it easy for business customers to do
business online with their telecom partners. Globys Chief Executive
Officer, Derek Edwards, mentions, “We are experiencing a large
increase in demand for online self-service tools as more
Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and enterprises embrace
digital transformation initiatives as a core part of their
strategy. Globys is excited to leverage Harris’ global presence,
strong capital base, and deep vertical experience to help our
customers optimize their digital journeys.”
Harris Executive Vice President, Pat
Shaughnessy, comments, “The acquisition of Globys is important for
Harris because not only is it a great business with an excellent
leadership team, but also provides Harris with a strong foothold in
the telecommunications market including its marquee customer base
across the globe. We look forward to working together to expand our
portfolio in this very exciting space.”
Globys will operate as an independent business
unit within Harris, retaining its brand and continued leadership
under Derek Edwards.
