This is technology M&A deal number 519 that ChannelE2E has covered so far in 2022. See more than 1,000 technology M&A deals involving MSPs, MSSPs & IT service providers listed here.
Founded in 1992, IES is a Hong Kong-based provider of IT consulting and customized IT solutions. The company specializes in providing technology integration services to the government sector, which will bolster Deloitte’s own government sector offering, according to the company.
IES was previously acquired by Deloitte in 2012 and remained a part of the firm for five years before becoming independent again. In this acquisition, the company will become a subsidiary of Deloitte Advisory (Hong Kong) and continue to operate as a separate entity, the company said.
Deloitte has been very busy on the M&A front — acquiring at least five companies so far in 2022. Key targets have included ServiceNow and UiPath consulting partners; AI and data solutions experts and embedded software know-how. See all Deloitte acquisitions listed here.
