American document management company Xerox has signed an agreement to acquire UK-based WDS for an undisclosed sum.
WDS is a firm that provides technical support, knowledge management and related consulting to the wireless telecommunication brands.
Xerox Telecommunications and Technology group president Chris Tranquill said, "WDS’s expertise in the telecommunications industry strengthens Xerox’s already broad portfolio of customer care solutions – differentiating us as a trusted partner for a rapidly evolving industry that requires reliable, accessible and scalable ways to support the complexity of their consumers’ needs."
