DataSolutions rebrands to Climb Channel Solutions Ireland as distributor eyes up further European expansion.
Climb Channel Solutions, formerly known as DataSolutions, has surpassed $1.2bn (€1bn) in global revenues.
The Dublin-headquartered business is targeting 15% global growth and 12% European growth in its 2024 financial year following its merger with Climb Global Solutions.
“The integration and rebranding of DataSolutions marks a vital step in our growth journey and we are excited about the future”
Climb, which has also appointed David Keating as country manager for Ireland, says the global expansion will be driven by mergers and acquisitions in the Europe and Middle East region.
The business recently acquired US business Douglas Stewart Software & Services.
Scaling into Europe
“The merging of DataSolutions and Climb Channel Solutions has been a gradual process over the past year and the official rebrand now marks a new and exciting chapter for the business as we look to continue on our growth trajectory and expand further in Europe,” Keating said.
“While there have been some new additions to our service offering, our success as a company has always been driven by our people and our resellers – who have been a great support over the last 30 years. As Climb Channel Solutions Ireland, that will remain the case as our experienced team looks to continue delivering outstanding service, innovating for partners, and driving business success.”
Climb has introduced a number of new vendors to the Irish market earlier this year including SolarWinds, Quest Software and SmartBear. Together, these have enhanced the distributor’s capabilities across the areas of cyber security, IT management, networking, and compliance.
The company has also invested in a new ERP system and cutting-edge technologies, including Artificial Intelligence and data analytics, to streamline its operations and enhance its services for resellers and partners.
Dale Foster, CEO of Climb Global Solutions, added: “The integration and rebranding of DataSolutions marks a vital step in our growth journey and we are excited about the future. On that, mergers and acquisitions will remain a key part of our global strategy – enabling us to extend our geographic reach, add to the team, and bring in new vendors. We do have targets in mind, ones that fit into our overall plan and will bring value to the business, as well as our reseller partners.
“Of course, we remain dedicated to our mission of creating an uncontested marketplace for emerging tech, along with delivering exceptional service. Our aim is not just to stick with what’s proven and profitable today but to invest in and support the solutions that will shape tomorrow. By leveraging the expertise of our people, focusing on strategic partnerships, and engaging end-users, we will further solidify our position as a trusted partner in Ireland and further afield, thus propelling the business forward.”
