Versor will operate as a Fujitsu company under the continued leadership of Dougall McBurnie.

Graeme Beardsell, Chief Executive Officer, Fujitsu Australia, said, ‘By acquiring Versor, Fujitsu Australia brings additional specialist data capabilities to customers and strategic alliances. Versor’s experienced team of data scientists and data engineers will strongly compliment Fujitsu’s existing teams.

‘Fujitsu considers this a strategic acquisition considering the growing demand for advanced data consulting expertise, which is now crucial for many organisations. The Versor acquisition positions Fujitsu as a leader in the advanced data consulting industry.'

‘Fujitsu specifically chose Versor because of the company’s alignment with Fujitsu’s products, services and corporate culture. Fujitsu is proud to be investing further in Australia and providing new career development opportunities for Versor employees.’

Dougall McBurnie, Managing Director, Versor, said, ‘Versor and Fujitsu are strongly aligned in terms of organisational integrity and culture, so this acquisition makes sense strategically and culturally. We are bringing new capability and Versor will retain its identity as a new division of Fujitsu. The acquisition provides career opportunities for Versor’s people and growth opportunities for the Versor business. We look forward to bringing to Fujitsu our highly skilled team of data and analytics consultants who will support new levels of innovation for Fujitsu customers and strategic alliance stakeholders.’
