Ottawa, ON, November 4, 2021 – 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.
