Telstra has acquired Australian application development and software-focused consulting and managed services provider Readify, adding to its suite of enterprise services.

Readify provides enterprise cloud application solutions, big data and IoT solutions, which Telstra states will provide further scope for it to “drive digital transformation for its enterprise customers in domestic and global markets”.

Telstra executive director global enterprise and services Michelle Bendschneider stated that the acquisition will complement the telco’s recent acquisition of cloud migration services provider, Kloud.

“As we know, apps and software in general are playing an increasingly important role in businesses,” Bendschneider commented.

“Readify is recognised globally for its innovative software solutions and will further help us create software-led digital transformations with our customers.”

Bendschneider stated that the acquisition “will enable Telstra to add incremental value to customers in enterprise cloud applications, API-based customisation and extensions, as well as business technology advisory services”.
