NCS, a provider of information, communications and technology services, agreed to acquire The Dialog Group, a privately-owned IT services company, for $230m. “This acquisition is a significant step in the regionalisation of NCS and leverages the combined strengths of NCS and Dialog and their established track records and reputations across both Singapore and Australia. The scale of this acquisition, our largest to date, reflects our firm commitment to growing our business beyond the shores of Singapore, particularly in Australia where we can also leverage the strategic presence of the Singtel Group," Ng Kuo Pin, NCS CEO.
