IGEL has acquired rival endpoint operating system vendor Stratodesk to further help enterprises modernise their endpoint strategy with a more secure, cost-effective, and cloud-ready OS. The deal will add additional expertise in endpoint operating systems, endpoint security, and end-user computing at 100% channel firm IGEL.
“This acquisition reflects IGEL’s continued momentum in the endpoint OS platform market,” said Klaus Oestermann (pictured), CEO of IGEL. “Stratodesk customers will benefit from the industry’s most secure client OS and endpoint management solution, and our Adaptive Secure Desktop, significantly enhancing their endpoint security, resilience, and cost efficiency.”
“This agreement ensures our customers have access to the most powerful and secure endpoint OS, a future-proof solution as they transition to cloud-driven workspaces,” added Emanuel Pirker, founder and CEO of Stratodesk. “We’re confident that IGEL’s technology, expertise, and customer-first approach will provide the best possible path forward for our customers and partners.”
Following the completed acquisition, for an undisclosed sum, IGEL says it will provide further details on customer migration plans and support programmes in the “coming weeks”.
IGEL is supported by a global IGEL Ready partner ecosystem of more than 100 integrated technology vendors, supporting customers in over 50 countries.
At IGEL’s recent Now & Next conference in Miami, Florida, CEO Oestermann told customers and partners present: “We have relaunched the company and are becoming more visible in our industry as we grow our reach in the MEA, Eastern Europe, and APAC regions, among other territories, and we expect to reach 45% ARR growth this year.”
IGEL currently has over 9,000 different customers globally, served by over 1,000 channel partners, which includes 100 MSPs, with some of those being both a VAR and an MSP.
