Contino, leading global DevOps and cloud transformation
consultancy, is delighted to announce that it has agreed to acquire
Nebulr, an Australian DevOps and cloud consultancy.
At a time when DevOps and cloud computing are beginning to gain
critical momentum in Australia, this move will cement Contino’s
presence as one of the most experienced and capable transformation
consultancies in the region.
Nebulr is a 50-person company that boasts some of the brightest
minds in DevOps and cloud. The organisation has special expertise
in the domain of big data as well as artificial intelligence and
machine learning, areas that were recently highlighted in Contino’s
State of Digital Transformation in Australia research report as
major trends.
The new capabilities, skills and mutual customer opportunities
arising from this partnership will allow for considerable expansion
opportunities in the APAC region, with all three of the largest
banks in Australia now coming under the Contino umbrella as a
result.
The two companies are a natural fit—both have disruption in
their DNA and are committed to driving people-centric culture
change in their clients. A strong partnership with AWS is a core
element of both companies’ business model: Contino boasts the
quickest progression from Advanced to Premier. Nebulr soared from
Standard Partner to Advanced Partner in record time and recently
won both Finalist for AWS Partner of the Year and AWS Rising
Star.
Similarly, both companies originated out of the founders’
personal frustrations at how software is delivered in the
enterprise and have flourished out of a commitment to delivering a
real engineering-first culture in clients.
Matt Farmer, Contino Co-founder and CEO, commented: “I am
incredibly excited at the prospect of joining forces with Nebulr’s
experienced team. Their customer- and people-centric approach
chimes with our own vision for DevOps transformation and we now
have an unparalleled opportunity to provide what the Australian
market is clearly signalling that it wants: tried-and-tested
approaches to digital transformation led by trusted experts that
provide real business value.”
Craig Howe, Nebulr Founder and CEO, stated: “Contino’s global
footprint and considerable IP and experience set them apart in the
world of DevOps. I founded Nebulr with a vision of creating an
amazing engineering culture that delivers first-class work and I
see this as a fantastic opportunity for us to push the boundaries
of this vision yet further.”
Following the acquisition, Nebulr CEO Craig Howe will become MD
(APAC) for Contino. The combined APAC team is now 65 strong and
part of a global team of over 200 across the US, Europe and
APAC.
Contino helps highly-regulated enterprise organizations to
deliver better software, faster, through the adoption of DevOps and
cloud computing.
Contino has an immediate requirement for over 20 consultants and
engineers across Sydney, Melbourne and other global offices.
