Dimension Data has announced that Internet Solutions will be absorbed into its brand.<\/p>\n
In a mail announcing the change, seen by MyBroadband, Dimension Data CEO Grant Bodley said the move is part of a plan to better serve their stakeholders.<\/p>\n
“We will be bringing together our employees as one people, with one name: Dimension Data,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Our colleagues from Systems Integration, Internet Solutions, Britehouse, and ContinuitySA will unify as Dimension Data to create a dynamic, industry-defining company.”<\/p>\n
Bodley went on to state the absorption of these businesses, and all of them using the Dimension Data name, is “driven by our strong belief that bringing these great businesses together and operating as ‘One People’ will be a better company”.<\/p>\n
There will also be a single operating model for the new business, and Dimension Data has redesigned its structures accordingly.<\/p>\n
“We have redesigned our business into a single operating model – structured so that we can effectively and efficiently execute our go-to-market strategy, which will enable your success in a digital-first world.”<\/p>\n
These go-to-market areas include:<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re very excited about the future and are committed to bringing these changes online quickly. May I assure you that we will continue to deliver your services seamlessly and efficiently as we work through this integration process,” said Bodley.<\/p>\n
