New managed IT, comms and document management provider launched
A new, dynamic name has entered the UK managed services sector with the launch of Espria. The new business brings together Connection Capital-backed Mode Solutions, a leading provider of turnkey digital managed services with award-winning IT Managed Services provider, eacs, which it acquired in June 2022. The new unified business uniquely offers a comprehensive range of integrated digital workspace solutions encompassing managed IT, cloud, communications and connectivity, hybrid/remote working and document solutions under one brand, one supplier. As this single source provider of digital workspace solutions, Espria empowers customers to focus resources on their business and their customers, rather than having to manage multiple suppliers at the same time. Espria delivers an easy to access and extensive range of digital transformation services and solutions for UK businesses of all sizes, from a single, award-winning source. Alex Tupman, CEO of Espria, commented, “Business leaders are stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, desperate to continue recovery, and on the other, facing economic uncertainty. How can organisations increase revenue and capitalise on opportunities at a time when they are financially constrained and facing a highly unpredictable future? The answer for many organisations is to actively outsource elements of their operations allowing them time to focus on their customers to drive business forward, without major long-term investment or risk.”
“IT outsourcing is now well established as a key driver of increased business agility and resilience. Our unique offering, underpinned by a dynamic, fresh brand, brings together an extended range of digital solutions designed to help businesses power their digital transformation and workspace.” “As we come out of one crisis, and now face cost of living challenges, companies are placing a higher reliance on tools to communicate and collaborate online to realise better value. In tandem, customer demands have pushed businesses to embrace new technologies, including hybrid working, which offer faster and more convenient experiences. Many organisations struggle to deliver this effectively, which is why outsourcing has become the most viable option. Espria was born to address this challenge, bringing together best-in-class providers under a single brand.” “In essence, business leaders can focus on what matters most for them – managing built-up debt, reducing costs and growing revenues, safe in the knowledge their IT infrastructure is operating efficiently and securely.” concluded Tupman.
