Acora Completes the Acquisition of Hydras, An AWS Cloud Transformation and Security Consultancy

Acora, the business technology services partner built for the AI era, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Hydras, a London-based AWS consultancy. 

Stephen Wilding, the founder and MD of Hydras, commented

I built Hydras to provide a high-class service by focusing on the quality of the customer experience. I knew from my first customer engagement with Acora that this was the best place for us given our aligned value propositions and customer focus. I am delighted that I can now join and support the team at Acora, and we can further build on our collective success as one company. 

David Rabson, Chief Executive at Acora, noted

Bringing Stephen and Hydras into Acora has been a long-term ambition for Acora. Following the transformational M&A last year of Elastacloud, the pioneering Data Science and AI business, Hydras was my number one focus from an M&A perspective. 

Rabson further commented

Over recent years, more and more of our customers have been asking us to grow or acquire AWS capabilities, giving them and us further optionality, fully supporting their business growth and multi-cloud journey. The Hydras team has been working alongside ours in a handful of named accounts, and the acquisition is a natural fit for the staff and customers. We will fully integrate the business in the coming weeks, and the services that Hydras brings underpin our market and sector focus.
