Asurgent joins Co-native, creating the market leader for Microsoft Cloud services in Sweden

Co-native establishes itself as the market leading specialist for Microsoft Cloud services in Sweden by partnering with Asurgent AB ("Asurgent").

By joining forces with Co-native, Asurgent, together with the existing group company Xenit, strengthens Co-native's position as the premier specialist provider of Microsoft Cloud solutions in Sweden. Asurgent will add significant Microsoft expertise within Azure, 365 and cyber security, enhancing Co-native's existing capabilities, a complementary customer base of top-tier clients as well as strengthen the group's geographic presence in Stockholm, providing strong opportunities for group-wide synergies. With both Asurgent and Xenit, Co-native can now offer +170 professionals focused on Microsoft Cloud and provide a more extensive service offering to existing and new customers. The current owners of Asurgent will reinvest and receive a significant shareholding in Co-native and Asurgent's co-founders, Ulf Engerby and Stephan Andersson, will join Co-native's board as part of the transaction.

In total, Co-native becomes a nation-wide cloud specialist group with well over 200 skilled people and +SEK 375 million in forecasted revenues for 2023. By combining leading Microsoft Cloud and Amazon AWS competence, Co-native continues building the multi-cloud powerhouse.
