Active24 had been operating in Poland since 2002, serving clients such as Telewizja Polsat and Raiffeisen Bank Polska.
Ogicom, part of the WSE-listed R22 holding, was actively seeking acquisition targets in Poland to consolidate the CEE hosting market. Meanwhile, Visma aimed to divest its Polish hosting assets and focus on its software business.
Visma sought to exit the hosting market in Poland while ensuring a smooth transition for its clients. The challenge was to find a buyer aligned with its strategic goals and capable of integrating the acquired assets effectively.
Aventis Advisors acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Visma, guiding the transaction by:
In 2017, Ogicom, following R22’s M&A strategy, acquired Active24 from Visma.
The transaction allowed Visma to focus on its core software business while supporting Ogicom’s growth in the Polish hosting market.
With the acquisition, Ogicom strengthened its market position, continuing its expansion strategy under R22.
