Computacenter’s acquisition of AgreeYa, announced on January 8, 2026, marks more than a geographic expansion. It reflects Computacenter’s accelerating transition from an infrastructure-centric provider to a broader, full-stack digital services partner. Valued at up to $120 million, the transaction expands Computacenter’s presence in North America while materially deepening its digital engineering and professional services capabilities across the US and India.
For Computacenter, this deal is best understood not as a standalone acquisition, but as part of a consistent, multiyear strategy to build relevance in the US market. In line with this, Computacenter has executed a targeted acquisition strategy to grow its footprint in the US over the past few years, while maintaining its long-standing strength across Europe. AgreeYa’s acquisition adds to previous deals—FusionStorm (2018) for infrastructure and cloud consulting, Pivot Technology Solutions (2020) to boost US revenue and enter Canada, and Business IT Source (2022) to expand in the Midwest.
AgreeYa adds a new dimension to this expansion strategy by bringing strong capabilities in digital engineering, application development, and workforce solutions, complementing Computacenter’s existing infrastructure and managed services strengths.
For enterprise buyers, this move signals a maturing alternative to traditional global system integrators—one that combines infrastructure depth, localized delivery, and increasingly credible digital transformation capabilities.
Under the terms of the agreement, Computacenter will take over AgreeYa’s US operations along with its India-based delivery arm. The combined entity brings approximately 1,300 professionals, over 600 in the US and more than 700 in India, into Computacenter’s global delivery network. AgreeYa is expected to generate roughly $120 million in revenue in 2025, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $14 million. The acquisition is expected to be immediately earnings accretive.
From a financial standpoint, the deal is modest in relation to Computacenter’s overall scale, but strategically significant in its contribution to professional services growth. Importantly, it reinforces North America’s role as a revenue engine for the company. Between 2020 and 2024, North America’s contribution to total revenue more than doubled from 17.4% to 42.7% even as overall revenues expanded from £5.4 billion to nearly £6.9 billion. While the rest of the world continues to contribute most of the revenue, its relative share has steadily declined, underscoring Computacenter’s growing reliance on the US-led market for incremental growth.
As North America approaches parity with Europe and other regions in revenue contribution, Computacenter’s ability to scale its services, particularly professional services, digital engineering, and transformation-led engagements, in the US becomes increasingly critical.
The strategic approach of AgreeYa is well aligned with Computacenter’s long-term objective to expand its presence in North America and advance its transformation-driven service engagements. The fit can be best understood across three distinct, yet complementary, dimensions.
Computacenter’s historical strength has been infrastructure-centric services, spanning data center, workplace, networking, and managed services, particularly across European markets. These capabilities have translated effectively into the US, enabling strong execution in infrastructure modernization and operationally led engagements. However, the relative absence of scalable digital engineering and application-led services has remained a limiting factor in Computacenter’s ability to participate in larger, transformation-led deals in North America.
The acquisition of AgreeYa directly addresses this constraint by materially expanding Computacenter’s US services portfolio across cloud services, data and automation, AI, digital engineering (application modernization, development, and testing), modern workplace, and IT staffing. These capabilities are closely aligned with Computacenter’s core infrastructure strengths, enabling tighter integration across infrastructure modernization, application transformation, and workplace evolution.
This adjacency also significantly improves Computacenter’s competitiveness in complex, multitower deals where buyers increasingly favor partners capable of delivering integrated infrastructure and application outcomes. It also enhances cross-sell potential within existing North American accounts, where infrastructure-led relationships can now be extended into digital engineering and modernization programs.
As Mike Norris, CEO of Computacenter, noted at the time of the announcement, AgreeYa brings both target-market customers and professional services capabilities that Computacenter has historically delivered in Europe but did not yet have at scale in the US, a gap this acquisition directly addresses.
This acquisition aligns with Computacenter’s broader strategic intent to move upstream in client engagements and participate in transformation programs early on rather than remaining predominantly execution- or operations-led.
Between 2020 and 2024, the company’s professional services revenue increased from approximately £425 million to £778 million, while its share of the overall mix expanded from roughly one-third to nearly half. In contrast, managed services revenue, while remaining the largest contributor, has grown more modestly and declined as a proportion of total revenue.
Beyond portfolio expansion, AgreeYa strengthens Computacenter’s professional services profile in ways that have direct implications for deal economics and client engagement depth. The advisory-led services allow Computacenter to engage earlier in the client decision cycle, often upstream of infrastructure deployment and managed services contracts.
This earlier involvement supports:
AgreeYa’s India operations add meaningful scale and flexibility to Computacenter’s global delivery model. With more than 700 professionals across digital engineering, testing, automation, and support services, the India footprint enhances Computacenter’s ability to deliver cost-effective, scalable, and continuous services to clients in North America and Europe.
Importantly, this is not solely a cost-arbitrage play. The expanded India presence strengthens Computacenter’s access to digital talent, supports agile and product-centric delivery models, and improves resilience across multi-geo transformation programs. These capabilities are increasingly critical as enterprises pursue hybrid delivery models that combine local client proximity with global execution.
According to Ajay Kaul, managing director of AgreeYa, the acquisition also creates sustained growth opportunities for employees across both the US and India, an important factor in a market where digital talent retention is as strategically important as client acquisition.
The acquisition of AgreeYa aligns with a broader pattern of capability-led consolidation among midtier IT services providers, where targeted acquisitions are used to augment adjacent digital capabilities, improve participation in end-to-end transformation programs, and strengthen North American execution, without fundamentally disrupting the core operating model.
Comparable examples include Coforge’s acquisition of Encora to deepen AI-led engineering and expand US delivery, Persistent Systems’ acquisition of MediaAgility to strengthen cloud-native engineering capabilities, and Stefanini’s purchase of Escala 24×7 to enhance AWS-led transformation services. Viewed in this context, the AgreeYa acquisition positions Computacenter squarely within a peer cohort prioritizing portfolio completeness and transformation depth over large-scale or industry-specific consolidation.
For enterprise clients, the acquisition of AgreeYa significantly enhances Computacenter’s relevance across a broader range of transformation scenarios, particularly those that encompass infrastructure modernization, application transformation, and digital operating model change.
By combining infrastructure services with digital engineering, application modernization, and automation capabilities, Computacenter is better positioned to support integrated, multitower transformation programs. For buyers, this can translate into reduced vendor fragmentation, clearer accountability for outcomes, and tighter alignment between infrastructure and application decisions, which is an increasingly important consideration as cloud-first and platform-led strategies become the norm.
Through expanded India-based capabilities, Computacenter’s ability to support global enterprises seeking blended delivery models that balance local proximity with offshore execution strengthens.
For buyers operating in agile or product-centric environments, this flexibility supports continuous development, faster iteration cycles, and more resilient delivery across time zones, which benefits that extend beyond pure cost optimization.
Enterprise clients benefit from stronger North American execution, particularly in regulated industries and public sector contexts, where a local professional services presence is essential. AgreeYa’s US-based scale enhances Computacenter’s ability to meet compliance, governance, and client proximity requirements, while still leveraging global delivery where appropriate. This combination makes Computacenter a more viable option for buyers who have historically only considered it for infrastructure or operations-led engagements.
However, the acquisition also introduces execution considerations that enterprise buyers should monitor closely. Integrating digital engineering and application-led services into an infrastructure-led operating model requires alignment across sales motions, solution design, and delivery governance.
The true test, however, will be whether Computacenter can consistently position AgreeYa’s capabilities upstream in transformation discussions and demonstrate cohesive solution ownership across design, build, and operate phases.
From an Avasant perspective, the acquisition of AgreeYa is a focused and well-aligned move by Computacenter to strengthen its US presence and accelerate its transition toward professional services. The deal addresses specific gaps in digital engineering and transformation-led services, especially in the US market, improving Computacenter’s ability to engage in enterprise transformation programs early on. If executed with the same discipline that has characterized its prior acquisitions, the move is set to enhance Computacenter’s relevance in complex, multitower deals and support more sustainable, margin-resilient growth over the medium term.
