Omegapoint acquires one of Sweden's leading IT consulting companies within e-Health, Pharmaceutical and Life Science sector
Stockholm, Sweden - Omegapoint Group AB – a leading information security and secure-application development consultant company announces it has signed a binding agreement to acquire Qurit AB, a specialized IT-consultant company in and e-Health, Pharmaceutical and Life Science sector. Omegapoint will, based on the acquisition, accelerate the development of the business area: e-Health and Pharmaceutical, to address a rapidly growing need for expert competence related to secure application development and IT-security in the rapidly growing digitized Healthcare value chain.
"Through the acquisition of Qurit AB, Omegapoint position itself as a leading provider and, at the same time, builds considerable competence, capacity and resources in a sector where demand for digitization and IT-security is growing rapidly." Says Johan Malmliden, President and CEO of Omegapoint Group AB. "The digitization of healthcare, general health related services and lifestyle-related issues represents some of the biggest challenges for society in the foreseeable future."
"The fact that Qurit becomes part of Omegapoint means we will jointly strengthen our offering considerably. The digitalization of the Healthcare sector increases demands on all parties involved. Qurit currently has the privilege of engaging in multiple strategically important customer projects within the pharmaceutical and E-Health sector. Presently we have excellent knowledge of how to realize business needs through cost-effective IT solutions but lack the deep knowledge that Omegapoint has in the field of e.g. security. Qurit also has limited capacity with an office to far from our key customers in Stockholm. Omegapoint is the perfect partner for Qurit as it creates a platform for jointly providing all stakeholders in the Healthcare eco-system with leading services and expertise." Says Patrik Lannergård, CEO and co-founder of Qurit AB.
Qurit AB will continue to be operated as a subsidiary of Omegapoint Group AB. Qurit's CEO Patrik Lannergård will join the Group Management of Omegapoint Group AB.

Om Qurit AB
Qurit AB was founded in Uppsala in 2011 by six people who previously worked together in different roles. The common denominator was that all the founders worked for a long-time with IT solutions in the pharmaceutical sector.
A common scenario that many of the industry's customers encountered was where they were stuck with a standard system that could not be further developed over time. The company that supplied the system often lost interest in the customer as soon as the system became operational.
This was the starting point when launching an IT consulting company who would be a leader in IT-related issues within the pharmaceutical and e-health market. In addition, the objective was to provide an efficient organization where the customer and the project are in focus, and where methods and tools are continually re-evaluated
