Jackson, MS-based fulfillment and solutions provider Irby Utilities — a Sonepar U.S. subsidiary — acquired the assets and software capabilities of Ireland-based Azotel Technologies Limited.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but the acquisition closed on Dec. 11.

Established in 2002, Azotel is a provider of service provisioning and process automation for broadband operators. The company’s platform operates as a resource management system that integrates services into a single system. Irby Utilities said the platform enables the company to enhance its back-office solutions for broadband providers, including customer support, billing and network monitoring.

“Azotel developed an innovative platform specifically for the needs of service providers like our customers,” Irby Utilities President Joe LeNoir said in a Dec. 12 news release. “For the past eight years, their solution has been a key component in Irby’s strategy of offering customers full design, engineering, material supply and end user engagement services together in one package. Bringing this technology in-house, Irby will stand out as a one-stop-shop from design all the way through active end user service and support.”

Sonepar was No. 2 on MDM’s Top Distributors List for Electrical, Data and Security.
