Rob Godlonton, CEO of iqbusiness, shared:
“Silversoft brings deep ERP expertise, strong client relationships, and a highly capable team that significantly strengthens our enterprise technology offering. It gives us a strong platform to scale ERP and PSA capability and serve clients across multiple markets.
Beyond capability, what stood out most is the alignment in culture, values and purpose. Together, we are focused on delivering long-term sustainable value for clients.”
He added:
“This is a strategic step in evolving iqbusiness toward a multi-vendor ERP and enterprise solutions capability, enabling us to deliver packaged, scalable solutions that enhance client outcomes and create recurring value.”
Silversoft Perspective
Jacques du Buisson, CEO and Co-Founder of Silversoft, commented:
By joining iqbusiness, we believe feel we have the ideal partner to scale the business and create additional value for our clients, while delivering both a strategic and cultural fit for our talented team.
From the outset, it was clear that both organisations share a strong commitment to client success, innovation, and long-term value creation. iqbusiness brings scale, advisory strength, and complementary capabilities that will accelerate our next phase of growth.
Our purpose and values are aligned. Their strategic roadmap is incredibly exciting, and we look forward to expanding our ERP and SaaS capabilities globally while continuing to deliver the specialised solutions our clients rely on.”
