Leeds-based Smoothwall has acquired Future Digital for an undisclosed sum.
It believes the move will cement its position as the number one provider of safeguarding technology in the UK education sector.
As a result of the acquisition, Smoothwall’s web filtering and safeguarding solutions will be used in 10,000 schools in the UK, US and beyond.
“We are thrilled to incorporate Future Digital into Smoothwall, with our two product sets complementing each other well. This will allow us to offer a bigger range of safeguarding and filtering services based on our customers’ requirements,” explained Georg Ell, CEO of Smoothwall.
“We believe that safeguarding is a fundamental duty in organisations of all types and sizes and our mission is to support that with robust, powerful, user-friendly solutions.”
Ell, a former director at Tesla, joined the company last month.
Future Digital in Dorset provides real-time, cloud-based, monitoring solutions.
