Exactive Holdings is a unified communications specialist and is one of a small number of Microsoft Teams Voice Partners operating in the UK. It has clients in the UK across both public and enterprise sectors.

This acquisition builds on an existing partnership to bring customers a complete range of services for Microsoft Teams. Following the acquisition of Telsis in November 2019, this is another key stage in Gamma’s strategy to become the leading provider of Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) in Europe.



Andrew Taylor, chief executive of Gamma, said: “We are really pleased to announce the acquisition of Exactive and to welcoming Scott and his entire team to the Gamma family. I am delighted to build on our track record of working with Exactive to bring customers a complete range of services for Microsoft Teams.

“UCaaS is an ever-evolving and rapidly growing market that we plan to be at the heart of, across all customer environments. Exactive helps us address a part of the market that is already embedded in a Microsoft ecosystem and this will be an essential part of our UCaaS strategy in the years ahead.

“We have known the Exactive team for many years and see the business as a very good fit. We are really looking forward to working alongside the Exactive team as we continue to grow Gamma, leveraging our experience and resources, to capitalise on the opportunities ahead.”

Scott Millar, chief executive of Exactive, added: “Gamma is the right home for Exactive. As a Microsoft Teams specialist, we are excited about becoming a member of the Gamma family and see this is a key milestone in the continued disruption and convergence in our marketplace as Microsoft continues to become a significant player in the voice and collaboration market.”
