June 29, 2023 - BCM One, a leading provider of NextGen Communications and Managed Services for IT leaders and resellers, announced that it has completed its acquisition of U.K.-based voice provider, Pure IP. The acquisition will expand BCM One's NextGen Communications portfolio to serve global businesses with enterprise-grade cloud-based voice for Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex and Zoom. With a specialty in integrating voice across the ever-evolving communication platforms, systems and applications, Pure IP provides fully compliant PSTN replacement services in 47 countries and number availability in 137 countries. Pure IP is one of the original launch partners for Microsoft Operator Connect, which will further strengthen BCM One's Microsoft Teams credentials. "Pure IP's expertise migrating enterprise customers from PBX and UCaaS platforms to Microsoft Teams is a perfect complement to the BCM One portfolio," stated Geoff Bloss, CEO of BCM One. "The global infrastructure and flexibility to design both Operator Connect and Direct Routing solutions reinforce our leadership position as a NextGen Communications and Managed Services provider. Additionally, Pure IP's international footprint enables us to extend our platform of services to customers worldwide." With Pure IP, BCM One will have a robust process for overseeing global businesses' migrations to Microsoft Teams, including pre-sales planning, solution architecture, pre-sales assessment, dedicated support resources, and a managed Teams environment option. "The BCM One and Pure IP portfolios are very complementary and will provide a compelling proposition in addressing the changing needs of businesses around the world," commented Gary Forrest, CEO of Pure IP. "The synergy between the two organizations will provide a solid foundation for future growth and benefits to our combined customers." Pure IP marks the ninth acquisition for BCM One, further strengthening and extending its NextGen Communications solutions and positioning BCM One as a leading provider of Microsoft-Grade Teams on a global basis. With this latest acquisition, BCM One will add two international office locations in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and a ninth U.S. office location in San Francisco. Q Advisors, a leading global TMT investment bank, acted as the sell-side advisor to Pure IP in connection with this transaction.
