Adelaide, Australia, September 28th ( GLOBE NEWSWIRE ) – Lyra Technology Group (part of Evergreen), also known as “Lyra”, today announced the acquisition of Concept Data and its sister company Voice Select. Concept Data is a technology consulting, hosting services, and business communications provider based in Adelaide. Concept Data joins the ANZ region of Lyra; this is another transaction in addition to the other four companies acquired by Evergreen this quarter.

Concept Data was established in 2014, helping organizations enhance security, operational resilience, and business performance through practical technical solutions. Its capabilities cover hosting of IT services, network security and compliance, Microsoft 365 and cloud services, AI empowerment and automation, private cloud hosting, business continuity and disaster recovery, as well as strategic technical consulting. Voice Select was founded in 2018, focusing on hosting voice and VoIP telephone systems, SIP and operator services, number management, as well as continuous telecommunications support.

When these two companies come together, they can provide customers with a unified team responsible for covering IT, security, cloud, and voice services. The service targets include small and medium-sized organizations in industries such as healthcare and medical services, professional services, construction, finance, non-profit organizations, education, as well as other environments that have high security requirements and where business continuity is critical.

Concept Data CEO Gary Paradise stated: "We are incredibly proud of the achievements made by our team. We chose to collaborate with Lyra and Evergreen because they understand that the strength of our business lies in our employees, our culture, and the trust we have built with our customers. They also bring with them experience and expertise that can help us accelerate our growth and take our business to the next level."

The company achieved record revenue and growth in its most recent fiscal year. Over the past decade, it has expanded from its traditional IT business to include cybersecurity, compliance, AI empowerment, private cloud, and consulting services.

According to the cooperation model of Lyra, Concept Data and Voice Select will continue to operate independently in Adelaide under their existing brands. CEO Gary Paradise and the current team will remain in their positions.

Paradise indicates that 'through this collaboration, we are able to maintain the key elements of business success while gaining stronger resources, more profound expertise, and broader support from the technical community of enterprises. For both our customers and team, the business will remain largely unchanged, while at the same time, we will have the opportunity to expand our capabilities and jointly build a stronger future.'

ANZ Regional CEO Waruna Kirimetiyawa stated: "We are very pleased to welcome Concept Data from Adelaide to join Lyra Technology Group. With their deep expertise in medical customer service, the team has brought valuable industry knowledge to the group and further strengthened our presence in South Australia. We see an exciting opportunity to leverage the resources, capabilities, and connections of our global network to help Concept Data continue to grow on a solid foundation, while maintaining the local relationships and personalized services that our customers value.
