Datatec
Datatec Limited, also known as Datatec Group, is an international ICT solutions and services group operating in more than 50 countries across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific. Through three core divisions, the group offers integration and managed services (Logicalis International and Logicalis Latin America) and technology distribution and financial services (Westcon International).
Datatec was founded in 1986 by Jens Montanana, who became the company's first CEO. The company's shares started trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in December 1994, with a share code of DTC.
In 1996, Datatec launched a joint venture with UUNET to form UUNET Africa, an internet service provider.
In 1997, the company began its international expansion and acquired UK-based IT firm Logical Networks [3], which later changed its name to Logicalis.
In June 1998, Datatec acquired a 92.5% stake in US distributor Westcon for $160 million. The company then consolidated its five-continent distribution business under the Westcon brand.
In 1999, Datatec acquired communications consultancy Mason Communications.
In November 2000, the company announced it was selling its stake in UUNET Africa to WorldCom.
In 2004, Datatec acquired UK-based telecommunications research and consultancy firm Analysys for £12.8 million. Analysys was merged with Mason Communications, and the new company was renamed Analysys Mason Group (AMG).
