Bestoutcome, a UK-based consultancy specialising in IT project and programme management, has announced that it has acquired Information Systems Associates (ISA), a supplier of tailored and integrated business applications built on the latest Microsoft technology platforms, for an undisclosed sum.

The ISA shareholders were advised on the sale by a team from Bedford Row law firm, Gregory Rowcliffe Milners, led by corporate/ commercial partner Chris Bannister.

The deal will enable the two companies to pool resources, enjoy economies of scale and offer a broader range of complementary IT products and services to clients.

Barry Jackson and David Walton, respectively chairman and managing director of Bestoutcome, join the ISA board, and Thomas Payne, managing director of ISA, joins Bestoutcome’s board.

Barry Jackson, chairman of Bestoutcome, commented: “At a stroke, the acquisition has doubled not only both organisations’ resources and access to new business opportunities, but also the products and services each can offer within a combined, highly competitive and stable group.”
