Dimension Data, the global ICT solutions and services provider, and Beachfront Management Services Limited (BMSL) have reached an amicable agreement to end their eight year relationship in West Africa.
Dimension Data has purchased BMSL’s 49 per cent stake in Dimension Data Nigeria for an undisclosed sum, and both companies confirmed they will explore new market opportunities separately in the Nigerian market.
The alliance between Dimension Data and BMSL began in 2004, and resulted in the formation of one of the largest systems integrators in Nigeria.
Andile Ngcaba, chairman, Dimension Data Middle East & Africa said “Both parties are committed to West Africa and will continue providing the best, most effective solutions and services to further the business goals of our West African clients.”
Frank Onuzo, Chairman of BMSL, commented “Both Dimension Data and BMSL have enjoyed a successful partnership together over the years and we are parting ways as friends. Going forward the Nigerian market will benefit from both companies’ focus on ICT solutions.”
“Dimension Data is committed to Nigeria and the African continent today, tomorrow and into the future,” concluded Ngcaba.
