The acquisition will drive growth in business around data, media, and AI as well as traditional IT workloads, according to the companies. With a combined presence across four continents, the acquisition of Boston Limited will expand SourceCode's reach to serve local and global customers with device-to-datacenter-to-cloud offerings.
Boston Limited original founders, Manoj Nayee and Dev Tyagi, will continue in the combined company.
The Boston Limited buy also strengthens Source Code's collaboration with its long-term trusted partners in the semiconductor, original device manufacturers (ODM), and software industries. This will allow Source Code to better serve the needs of its clients—with a broader product portfolio, stronger supply chain, and worldwide reach.
Source Code Buys Boston Limited
Arthur Ataie, Source Code CEO, said:

Manoj Nayee, Managing Director and co-founder of Boston Limited, added:
"It seems like a homecoming! Boston and SourceCode were both founded in 1992 and share a proud heritage, a customer-first culture, and excellent reputation with leading organizations across four continents. As we serve more global customers with a richer set of customized solutions, the time is right to join forces with SourceCode. We are entering this next phase with a clear strategy, unrelenting support, and long-term commitment to work towards accelerated growth with the executive teams at SourceCode and Cerberus Capital Management."
