Services supplier will boost appeal to smaller firms, says telco giant

The acquisition follow's BT's purchase of Basilica Computing in August

BT has bought IT services supplier Lynx Technology for an undisclosed sum.

The Derbyshire-based company specialises in consulting, technology and outsourcing and generated revenues of £47m in the year ended September 30th 2006.

The Lynx deal follows BT's August acquisition of reseller Basilica Computing. The purchases will help the telecoms giant cater to the needs of small-to-medium enterprises, according to BT Business managing director Bill Murphy.

“The Lynx Technology expertise complements that of Basilica Computing and combined with our existing operation will enable us to give our customers genuinely converged communication and IT solutions," he said.
