Soulco Kenya officially took over the operations of Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEC) in East Africa on Thursday.
The enterprise solutions provider plans to spend 20 million Kenyan shillings (US$279,916) to upgrade the office, which will serve regional operations. SEC serviced mobile phone companies in the region, and Soulco is hoping to continue with SEC's contracts.
"Soulco's role will be to grow Siemens presence and get higher sales," said Soulco Chairman Tony Verbeke.
Siemens had initially entered into a relationship with Nokia and was known as Nokia Siemens but has now made a global strategic decision to streamline its business following a shift in the way the telecommunications industry functions.
"Siemens is a world leader in telephony, but the industry's wide shift towards convergence of products and services in the field led to a strategic decision by the company to hive off its ICT division," Verbeke said.
