Enghouse Expands Its Reach in Latin America by Acquiring Sixbell's Telecom Division

In a significant move that underscores its commitment to growth in Latin America, Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX: ENGH) announced today the acquisition of the telecom division of Sixbell, a prominent provider of telecommunications and customer engagement software solutions based in Santiago, Chile. This strategic acquisition is set to bolster Enghouse's presence in the region, leveraging Sixbell's established reputation and robust portfolio of services.

Sixbell has been a vital player in Latin America since its inception in 1988, catering to a diverse range of telecommunications service providers. The company offers a comprehensive suite of software platforms that assist service providers in modernizing and transforming their networks. Their product range includes solutions for charging, intelligent routing, signaling management, and voice interaction—all aimed at supporting operators in evolving towards cloud-native, 5G-ready architectures. Sixbell has earned the trust of leading Tier-1 and Tier-2 telecom operators throughout Latin America, making this acquisition a strategic fit for Enghouse.

Pablo Pumarino, CEO of Sixbell, commented on the transaction: "The sale of the Telco division to Enghouse equips our telecommunications customers with the global reach and resources necessary to accelerate innovation. Through this strategic divestiture, our customers can consistently pursue network transformation initiatives and leverage the scale and expertise of Enghouse in delivering next-generation services."

Enghouse's CEO, Steve Sadler, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "The offerings from Sixbell complement our OSS/BSS and network transformation portfolio, providing additional opportunities for our expanding Latin American operations where we are witnessing strong demand for next-generation capabilities. We are excited to welcome Sixbell's telecom customers, partners, and employees into the Enghouse family."

This acquisition is noteworthy not only for Enghouse's growth strategy but also for the continuous evolution of the telecommunications sector in Latin America. As the demand for advanced telecommunication services grows, organizations like Enghouse are strategically positioning themselves to meet the needs of a rapidly changing landscape. The integration of Sixbell's technologies into Enghouse's portfolio offers substantial growth potential, especially as telecom operators seek to adopt cloud-centric solutions that support increased connectivity and enhanced customer experiences.

It is important to note that this acquisition pertains solely to Sixbell's telecom division. The Customer Experience (CX) division remains an independent entity post-transaction, focusing on its unique market segment.
