In this blog we hope to provide a short introductory on Volaris Group, what that means for Wellington IT customers and explain how they are very different to other acquirers! (HINT: they NEVER sell their companies).
Who are Volaris Group?
In 2014 Wellington IT was acquired by Volaris Group - part of Constellation, one of the largest software companies in Canada. Today Volaris owns over 100 specialist software companies worldwide. This means Volaris are experts at delivering software, and as a part of the group, Wellington IT has access to a world of best practice.
Volaris give us the best of both worlds : global scale and expertise, but with a niche focus on being a specialist software provider for ROI and UK Credit Unions!
We can invest more in our people and our technology
Being backed by Volaris makes us unique in the market. Global best practices are at our fingertips and we have access to some incredible resources. Volaris also enable us to invest more in our people and our technology - In the past 5 years, we have invested £1m+ in infrastructure and tools and 30% more on training and development. We’ve also increased our workforce by 33%!
All of that enables us to provide your Credit Union with better services such as , cuMobile, Automated lending, Revolving Credit and our cloud offering.
We’re STILL your local provider
Whilst we have the backing of a large corporate company (Volaris), we are always your local provider – with offices in Belfast, Dublin and Cork. Having been in this industry for over 30 years, we understand the local Credit Union market like no other, from your key objectives, challenges and compliance. This means you still have local representatives in the same time zone who can easily adapt to the sudden changes that inevitably take place in the industry.
Volaris NEVER sell their companies!
Did we mention that Volaris never sell the companies they acquire?
Volaris’ strategy is to acquire specialist software companies, and rather than flip them for a profit, the focus is to build businesses for the long-term and to NEVER sell.
So we’ll ALWAYS be your local provider
Our acquisition by Volaris means we have a strong future succession plan in place and the confidence that we will always be your local provider.
Our core purpose is to “improve the lives of our customers, our colleagues and the community”. Therefore, it was so important to us to work with a company that guarantees we will always be here, now and in the future. Not many companies have this guarantee and we're very proud to be a part of the Volaris Group!
