NEC Software Solutions has completed the acquisition of specialist software firm, Meganexus.
It said the move would strengthen its portfolio of justice and rehab services. Meganexus’ clients include the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Defence and the HM Prison and Probation Service.
The deal, for an undisclosed sum, will mean Meganexus becomes part of the group’s Digital Studio business, which focuses on case management, service design and software across Justice, Healthcare and Government sectors.
“The Justice sector is under constant pressure to evolve its service to suit the ever-changing pressures of budget, risk and resources whilst seeking to help keep potential offenders out of the system and rehabilitate those already in it,” said Marco Fiorentino, Executive Director for NEC Digital Studio.
“We are excited to be able to bring Meganexus’ services and solutions into our portfolio, delivering exciting new propositions to our customers in the UK and overseas, as we seek to enable change through safety, security and rehabilitation solutions that will help our customers shape positive futures.”
