South African IT consultancy BUI is pleased to announce that it has acquired M2M Systems, an award-winning cloud solutions provider and fellow Microsoft Partner organisation based in Nairobi, Kenya, for an undisclosed amount.
M2M Systems specialises in digital transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises, through Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. Founded in 2013, the company has helped more than 100 businesses in Kenya and the wider East African region to communicate, collaborate, and connect with customers using the power of cloud technology.
BUI Managing Director Ryan Roseveare is excited to build on the foundations that have supported M2M Systemsā success. āFor BUI, this acquisition represents much more than a business expansion. Itās an opportunity to accelerate cloud adoption and digital transformation in Kenya by bringing the expertise weāve gained through Microsoftās global programmes to a dynamic regional market where the cloud is actively embraced as a driver of business efficiency and scalability,ā he says.

BUI is a Microsoft Azure Expert MSP and a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association. āOur Microsoft roots run deep,ā explains Roseveare. āAnd weāre thrilled that M2M Systems has a team of technologists who share not only our enthusiasm for Azure, but also our commitment to innovation and customer-centric service delivery,ā he adds.
Increasing capacity, fuelling growth
BUI Business Development Manager Justin Colin is working alongside M2M Systems during the transition period. āM2M Systems has an excellent track record of cloud engagements and a loyal customer base that spans Kenyaās financial services industry, legal sector, and transportation sector. In the coming months, weāll focus on increasing staff capacity and creating a broader solution portfolio to meet the evolving needs of the local and regional markets,ā he says, adding that the BUI Cyber Security Operations Center, the Nettprotect vulnerability scanning service, and the a2zManaged cloud management service will be important augmentations.

M2M Systems Managing Partner Clare Mungai, one of Kenyaās leading women in technology, says the demand for reliable, scalable, and secure productivity solutions is higher than ever. āIn the past seven years, weāve witnessed the steady growth of cloud adoption in Kenya, but last yearās shift to remote work put that growth into overdrive. Customers are looking to harness the full spectrum of cloud services, and BUI brings a wealth of Azure, security, and networking expertise to complement our existing Microsoft strengths. I have no doubt that this fusion of talent and vision will unlock new possibilities, here and across East Africa. I look forward to welcoming BUI to Nairobi, and working together to support customers throughout their digital transformation journeys.ā
Roseveare is equally positive. āWith an established base in Kenya and a highly skilled team of cloud specialists, weāll be able to extend our reach and deliver customised, locally relevant solutions to help organisations become more productive, more competitive, and more secure,ā he concludes.
