7 Mile Advisors Announces Powerland Has Been Acquired By Xerox

The acquisition will further expand Xerox’s IT Services offerings across North America.

CHARLOTTE, NC – Powerland, a leading Canadian IT Services provider, has been acquired by Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX).  The acquisition strengthens Xerox’s IT Services offerings in North America, which include cloud, cyber security, end user computing, and managed services.

7 Mile Advisors acted as the exclusive sellside advisor to Powerland throughout the acquisition. 

“Powerland has established a strong presence in the Canadian IT solutions market over several decades. Their focus on enterprise-scale solutions and innovations related to Hardware As A Service, Cloud Computing and Machine Learning made them a natural fit for a strategic buyer focused on being a market leader,” said Andy Johnston, Partner, 7 Mile Advisors.  

“We couldn’t be happier to have selected 7 Mile as our sell-side advisor in the sale of Powerland to Xerox. 7MA’s process was well-organized, efficient, and led to options including PE platform plays, joining PE backed strategics, and complete acquisitions by some of the leading strategics in our sector. 7MA’s advice, guidance, knowledge of the market, and ability to position Powerland led to an outcome that exceeded my expectations,” commented Mike Legary, Chairman, Powerland.

Powerland serves customers throughout Canada and provides a wide array of technology solutions and services including cloud, hybrid cloud, cyber security, and end-user computing solutions based on individual business needs. Powerland recently earned 2021 industry accolades including Nvidia Partner of the Year, Dell Marketing Partner of the Year North America, HPE Service Partner of the Year and Tech Data Circle of Excellence.
