In a strategic move poised to reshape the telecommunications landscape, industry leader TeleResult has finalised its acquisition of CDRU, a prominent consultancy focused on strategic sourcing, transformation, strategy solutions, and IT financial management.
This landmark deal amalgamates over seven decades of collective industry expertise, offering enterprises and government at all levels a dynamic alternative to established industry players.
The acquisition significantly expands TeleResult’s consultancy capability, enabling the company to offer end-to-end transformation solutions and outcomes.
Speaking on the synergies of the two companies, Kristian Hanlon, CEO of CDRU, says “CDRU’s significant depth of experience and capability in strategic sourcing, benchmarking and IT financial management will complement and enhance TeleResult’s services.
“For organisations looking for an end-to-end solution, the partnership will see CDRU consultants offer their clients a tailored pathway to reduce organisational costs, with TeleResult providing the full suite of managed services and products to fully realise these savings.”
Industry significance: meeting market demand
Alex Nadeau, Managing Director of TeleResult, “This acquisition will give the market a much-needed shakeup, giving government and large organisations a holistic solution that offers unmatched value.”
According to Nadeau, the move is reflective of an industry-wide demand for alternative solutions, saying “In recent years, governance lapses have led to widespread disillusionment with the ability of large organisations to extract and deliver value to the client.
“Recognising the shifting landscape, government agencies and large corporations are increasingly turning to more agile specialised partners, like TeleResult and CDRU.
“Our clients seek cost-effective solutions, prefer collaborating with experienced senior consultants, and aim to streamline their processes by engaging with a single provider.
“With a combined 70 years of industry experience, TeleResult and CDRU are uniquely positioned to meet this urgent need,” he says.
Addressing technological advances
Looking ahead, Hanlon points to rapid technological advancements driving change within the sectors CDRU and TeleResult work across.
“TeleResult equips us to navigate these shifts and provide clients with a rounded capability under a ISO27001 umbrella,” says Hanlon. “As the sector embraces AI and other emerging technologies, our aim is to support clients in mitigating risks and uncertainties associated with technology adoption.”
“This is an exciting time for us – and the market. We look forward to maintaining our role as a trusted advisor to our clients as we support them in navigating this changing landscape,” says Hanlon.
