Bell announced Tuesday it has acquired technical services companies Stratejm and CloudKettle Inc., which it says strengthens its managed cybersecurity and Salesforce capabilities for enterprises.
“These acquisitions will advance Bell’s strategy to be the leader in supporting medium and large organizations’ digital transformations and automation through cloud services,” a Bell press release says. “Combined with Bell’s pure fibre and 5g networks, enterprises will benefit from an exceptional and seamless AI-powered end-to-end customer experience.”
Based in Mississauga, Ont., and servicing Canadian and international customers, Stratejm leverages AI through its end-to-end Security-as-a-Service solutions, real-time threat detection and response, and streamlining incident management processes, all supported by a vendor-independent SOC 2 security operation centre, according to the press release.
Based in Halifax, CloudKettle is a professional services provider operating within Canada and the United States, with expertise in Salesforce enterprise implementation, including integration of data and AI capabilities through Salesforce Data Cloud, Industry Clouds, Marketing Cloud, Einstein 1, and Tableau, the release says.
These acquisitions complement Bell’s 2023 acquisition of FX Innovation, a Montreal-based provider of end-to-end multi-cloud services, IT workflow automation solutions and cloud consulting services, the release adds.
Stratejm and CloudKettle will join Bell Canada Enterprises’ group of companies, reporting to Guillaume Bazinet, CEO and co-founder of FX Innovation.
“The FX Innovation team is excited to welcome Stratejm and CloudKettle Inc. to the Bell group of companies,” Bazinet said in a statement. “Having joined Bell ourselves just a little over a year ago, I can attest to the exceptional strength of offerings created through this partnership. Bell has invested millions of dollars in the advancement of our platform and capabilities supporting the development of leading solutions for our customers, such as Service Bridge. Combined with the FX Innovation team’s expertise in cloud services, we will create robust, synergized offerings for Canadian enterprises.”
