The agreement includes all operational staff, software, intellectual property, ongoing business and also I-Comply’s sales and support subsidiary in India. Veracity will maintain I-Comply as a separate business and will immediately expand its operations including an imminent move to larger premises near Leeds.

Over the last fifteen years, I-Comply and its VTAS Pro platform has delivered integrated solutions to an expanding portfolio of clients including London’s Tower Bridge, Boots UK, ITV, the 2014 G20 Summit and many city-wide projects including Nottingham City Council and Leeds City Council.

The modular software solution supports a range of access control, CCTV, fire, alarm and other security equipment vendors, including industry leaders such as Veracity, Bosch, Honeywell, Paxton, Axis, Hanwha Techwin and Milestone. With icomply, customers can build control centre environments that have greater situational awareness with integrated functionality to seamlessly deliver incident management and more effective command and control processes.

“We have worked with I-Comply on a number of major projects and its innovative technology has proven itself adept at integrating with a wide range of systems to deliver control rooms that are more efficient and reliable,” says Alastair McLeod, Group CEO of Veracity, “With this acquisition, we extend our technical capability and broaden our target market. We will progress the I-Comply concept to the next level while maintaining an independent and multi-vendor approach which is at the core of its unique value.”

Michael Gallagher will remain in charge of I-Comply business development and will also be responsible for running sales, support and operations for the business. He is delighted with the acquisition by Veracity, stating: "The I-Comply team are immensely pleased with the acquisition, as this will enable icomply to accelerate both its sales and software development plans with the support and backing of Veracity.''

“Veracity has had a decade of continual growth and today we are a profitable and stable company that has championed the use of innovative technology to help solve some of the most challenging issues facing the security industry,” adds McLeod, “I-Comply is a natural fit for us and enables us to expand our strategy of delivering high-end security solutions at a lower total cost of ownership while helping system integrators and consultants offer better value to their customers.”

VTAS Pro will be sold through existing I-Comply channels in the UK and India and through Veracity channel partners elsewhere with the full support of the Veracity Group.
