Sigma Systems, the global leader in catalog-driven software is
pleased to announce its acquisition by Hansen Technologies, a leader in
billing, data management and customer care solutions for the Energy,
Water, Pay-TV, and Telecommunications industries. Upon closing of the
sale, Hansen will acquire full ownership of Sigma Systems. Hansen
Technologies is a publicly traded company listed on the Australian Stock
Exchange (ASX:HSN).

In today’s highly disruptive environment, service providers are focusing
on how to accelerate product and service innovation, transforming their
businesses into digital organizations that can more effectively create
new innovative offerings, sell them without friction in the customer’s
channel of choice, and deliver those services as promised. From digital
service innovation through to revenue realization and customer support,
the acquisition of Sigma and the resulting combined product offerings of
the two companies will further strengthen and expand the value
proposition across the Telecom, Media, IoT, Energy and Utilities
industries we serve. The combination of these two fast-growing companies
creates an even stronger organization with greater expertise, a deeper
bench of talented delivery specialist, expanded R&D scale and a broader
diversification of our business across industry verticals.

Andrew Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of Hansen Technologies,
commented: “It’s with great enthusiasm that I welcome Sigma Systems to
the Hansen Technologies Group. The acquisition represents a strategic
move to enhance our value proposition to the telecom, pay-tv and energy
verticals. Over the course of the last ten years, we have driven an
exceptional growth strategy through acquisitions, achieving a compound
annual growth rate of 28% over the last 4 years. Bringing Sigma Systems
onboard further strengthens our ability to provide valuable solutions to
our customer base and creates new expansion opportunities to cross-sell
Sigma’s software solutions into our broad base of energy customers.”

Tim Spencer, Chief Executive Officer of Sigma Systems, commented:
“With over a 23-year history serving the needs of the telecom industry,
it is with great pride that we move to the next chapter in Sigma’s
history. In the last year, Sigma has been pursuing an aggressive growth
strategy through increased focus on product and cloud adoption, growth
through adjacent verticals, and an enhanced go-to-market partner
strategy. The acquisition of Sigma by Hansen Technologies represents two
strong companies coming together, a strong combined value proposition,
and the acceleration of the Sigma strategy. We look forward to the new
opportunities in front of us to drive value for Sigma and Hansen
customers and shareholders of the company.”

The acquisition of Sigma Systems is set to close on May 31, 2019. For
