*UKHotViewsExtra* NEC Software Solutions: Performance and Prospects

It has been two years since Northgate Public Services adopted the branding of its parent company and became NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd (NECSWS). In our latest HotViewsExtra article, TechMarketView takes a closer look at the progress it has made and its prospects for the future.

It has been a pivotal two years for NECSWS. As well as rebranding, the company has developed stronger synergies with the wider NEC group and made significant leadership changes.

NECSWS added scale to its Health division through the acquisition of Vantage Health, which is now fully integrated under the NECSWS brand. It also announced the acquisition of Capita’s Secure Solutions & Services (SSS) Public Safety business. The CMA investigation into this deal resulted in a requirement to divest significant parts of NECSWS’s public safety business—this process should be completed shortly.

It has been a momentous 24 months for NECSWS, with rebranding, a management restructure, acquisitions, and the CMA investigation, but the company has continued to make steady progress. Once the CMA investigation is behind them, NECSWS should be in a strong position to make a significant leap forward in its ambitions.
