Driving Growth Through Innovation and Scale with iceblue’s GRID Platform

BOSTON & LONDON, November 19, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Resolute CS, a pioneering technology company driving innovation in the connectivity market, today announced the acquisition of iceblue, a global leader in managed internet services. This strategic transaction underscores Resolute CS's commitment to transforming how the industry procures and manages connectivity by leveraging intelligence, automation, technology, and a customer-centric approach.

iceblue: A Proven Leader in Global Connectivity

Founded in 2014 by a seasoned telecom team, iceblue has built a reputation for simplifying global internet procurement and management with a robust platform and service offering that includes:

• Operations in 210 countries with over 1,100 network providers.

• A profitable base of 30 customers managing over 900 circuits globally.

• The GRID: A proprietary, fully automated end-to-end lifecycle platform that enhances efficiency, visibility, and customer experience.

iceblue’s expertise in aggregating and delivering reliable, carrier-grade internet services aligns perfectly with Resolute CS's mission to modernize connectivity efficiency.

Shared Vision: Simplify Connectivity Procurement

Resolute CS’s acquisition of iceblue highlights the shared mission of both companies to streamline and enhance the procurement process for global connectivity. iceblue’s GRID platform, purpose-built to resolve industry challenges like fragmented visibility into the underlying supplier, which is a leading cause of poor customer experience, will play a central role in achieving this vision.

"We are excited to join the experienced team at Resolute CS as we embark on this next phase of growth," said Steve Corfe, former CEO, now Managing Director of iceblue. "Together, we’ll build on the GRID’s proven success and bring advanced, high-speed internet services to even more customers globally."

Commitment to Growth and Innovation

iceblue will continue to operate independently under its recognized brand as a wholly owned subsidiary of Resolute CS. Key members of the iceblue leadership team, including Mark Hendrick, Steve Corfe, and Steve Taylor, will remain in key management roles, ensuring continuity in service and customer support.

Resolute CS plans to invest heavily in scaling iceblue’s operations, enhancing the GRID platform, and expanding its go-to-market strategy. "This acquisition is about leveraging iceblue’s technology and expertise to deliver more efficient and automated connectivity solutions to the market," commented Patrick Shutt, Co-Founder and CEO of Resolute CS. "We see a tremendous opportunity to scale iceblue’s proven model and help our industry address the rising demand for high-performing, cost-efficient connectivity."
