SoftwareOne Finalizes Acquisition of Crayon to Enhance Global Cloud Solutions

SoftwareOne Holding AG has completed its acquisition of Crayon, solidifying its position as a leading global provider of software and cloud solutions. The merger brings together companies with a combined revenue of approximately CHF 1.6 billion and 13,000 employees across more than 70 countries. SoftwareOne's secondary listing on Euronext Oslo Børs will begin on July 3, 2025.

The completion of this transaction includes a compulsory acquisition of remaining Crayon shares, followed by Crayon's delisting. SoftwareOne plans to integrate operations and refine offerings to deliver increased value to customers. The company targets annual cost synergies of CHF 80-100 million within 18 months.

Microsoft, a key partner for both companies, supports this merger, anticipating broader reach and enhanced capabilities for mutual customers. The integration officially begins with preparation involving strategy, sales, and technology teams from both organizations.
