BT has bought another UK-based IT services company, Lynx Technology.

The communications giant, which is increasingly moving into the IT services space, also bought Basilica Computing in August. Both companies will help it target the SME market, BT claims.

Chesterfield-based Lynx has been around since 1973 and has more than 500 employees. It is also a "gold partner" to Microsoft, Cisco, Symantec and SurfControl, as well as an HP business partner.

"Lynx Technology is a very impressive IT services business, with a proven track record of understanding and meeting the needs of SMEs," said Bill Murphy, the managing director of BT Business, on Monday. "Their expertise complements that of Basilica Computing and, combined with our existing operation, will enable us to give our customers genuinely converged communication and IT solutions."

Software development for instance can be off shored with a perceived reduction in development costs but the resulting code is rarely of good quality and there is much greater expense in reworking and support over the life of software developed in this way. As a consultant who has to deal with off shoring on daily basis I very often see no savings at all over the lifetime of a software product, and in some cases actually see projects costing a fortune to rework.
