World Wide Technology (WWT) has finalized its acquisition of Softchoice for approximately $1.3 billion. This strategic acquisition enhances WWT’s capabilities to support clients throughout their artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation journeys. The deal aims to expand WWT's portfolio by integrating Softchoice's offerings, which focus on software, cloud, cybersecurity, and AI solutions, thereby broadening its reach within North America.

With this acquisition, WWT's clients will gain access to an expanded suite of services, including enhanced consultant-led offerings across infrastructure and hardware. Softchoice's integration will enable WWT to provide tailored solutions to a wider range of clients, including those in the commercial, small, and medium-sized business markets, as well as in Canada.

Jim Kavanaugh, WWT’s CEO, expressed enthusiasm about the merger, stating, “This strategic transaction brings together two high-performing organizations focused on delivering groundbreaking solutions that help accelerate AI adoption and the digital transformation journeys of organizations across the globe.”

David Steward, WWT’s Chairman, added, “We are excited to add Softchoice’s specialized software, cloud, cybersecurity and AI-based services, expanding WWT’s portfolio of solutions.”

Softchoice President and CEO Andrew Caprara noted the alignment of the two companies’ capabilities, emphasizing their shared commitment to delivering value and fostering a positive workplace culture. Softchoice will continue to operate as a separate entity under the WWT umbrella while capitalizing on the advanced facilities offered by its new parent company, including the Advanced Technology Center and AI Proving Ground Lab.

The acquisition is positioned to address the growing demand for AI solutions and enhance WWT’s footprint in the market, particularly among enterprise and mid-sized businesses. WWT has committed a $500 million investment aimed at accelerating enterprise-level AI adoption through a variety of resources and solutions.
