Asta Crunch’s IT services

Asta to become one of the only true cross-platform managed IT service providers in the country

Asta today announced the successful acquisition of technology services company Crunch IT, marking the organisation’s transformation into one of the only true cross-platform managed (Microsoft and Apple) IT service providers in Australia.

The deal, which was over 6 months in the making, pairs Asta’s expertise in Microsoft and related products area with Crunch IT’s expertise in Apple enterprise support services to allow for the delivery of End-to-End IT services in Melbourne and now Sydney markets.

Asta CEO Bill Angelidis said the acquisition marked the beginning of the organisation’s long-term vision for Asta to become the preferred IT services provider in Australia.

"The shift to consumer driven end-user computing and BYOD has seen Apple devices enter the corporate environment in significant numbers and will continue to grow. Asta is responding to this shift to deliver true cross platform managed services, web and mobile application development and support”.

“We are proud to be expanding the business into Sydney and adding complimentary services for our clients to benefit from and most importantly providing opportunities to our team of over 85 staff,” he said.

“This is another step towards our 2020 goals for the organisation as we add additional capabilities as a service provider and work towards the future, with plans to expand Asta into a wider group that will offer End-to-End IT solutions and services to our clients.”

Crunch IT CEO Mark Williams said the acquisition was a positive step for the two businesses.

“After months of discussion, we agreed there was a need to form a single source for all of our clients’ IT support needs, Asta will now be able to meet all of the enterprise support IT needs.” he said.

“While I will be in and out of the company’s day-to-day operations and focusing on family, I look forward to working with Bill and seeing the business flourish under his guidance.”
