More than two-thirds of UK police forces, as
well as several major European transportation hubs use Eagle
solutions
Zetron, a global leader in integrated mission critical
communications technology, today announced the acquisition of Eagle
NewCo (Eagle), a business unit of NEC Software Solutions UK Limited
(NEC) that provides software and services to public safety and
transportation organizations, for approximately $15 million (USD).
The acquisition is complete, with financial disclosures available
in an Australian Stock Exchange announcement made by Codan Limited
(ASX:CDA), Zetron’s publicly traded parent company.
Headquartered in Hull, United Kingdom (UK), Eagle provides
mission critical communications and workforce management solutions
for the control rooms of more than 100 emergency services and
transportation customers across the UK, Europe and the Middle East.
More than two-thirds of the UK’s police forces currently utilize
Eagle solutions, as do major transportation operations, such as the
London Underground, and Dubai International Airport.
“Eagle’s solutions complement Zetron’s existing command and
control portfolio exceedingly well,” said Scott French, Zetron
President and Executive General Manager. “The integration of Eagle
software and services will further widen our core capabilities in
critical communications and provide new growth opportunities for
all Zetron solutions across all our global regions. We are excited
to welcome the Eagle team to the Zetron family and expand our
operational footprint in the UK.”
The Eagle business unit was formed as a result of previous NEC
acquisitions of APD Communications and portions of Northgate Public
Services (NPS). With the acquisition, Eagle is wholly owned by
Zetron, with business operations integration beginning immediately,
including the transition of Eagle’s primarily UK-based full time
employees to Zetron. Zetron plans to maintain Eagle’s physical
location in Hull and make further investments in growing its UK
presence.
Eagle’s solutions were first introduced to UK emergency services
customers in 1995, with consistent research, new product
development, and customer and geographical expansion in the 28
years since.
Eagle’s solutions include Cortex; an integrated communications
control system, Aspire; a contact and relationship management
system, CallTouch; a touchscreen-based communication system,
Connect; a radio-based communication solution created specifically
for the London Underground, and Stream; an incident streaming
application for control rooms.
“Highly similar and related markets, yet virtually no overlap in
core functionality, services or customer base is what makes this
acquisition such an exceptional strategic and tactical fit,” said
Terry Miller, Business Unit Director for Eagle. “We are
tremendously excited to be joining a rapid growth critical
communications company in Zetron that will enable us to offer
customers new solutions, integration opportunities and world class
service.”
The acquisition brings Zetron’s worldwide employee base to
nearly 400 people, including new additions to its development,
services, sales and support teams that will remain in Hull. Zetron
is headquartered in Redmond, Washington (USA), with operations
throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and
Australia to serve its growing global critical communications
customer base in more than 80 countries around the world.
