Tequity, a leading North American M&A Advisory firm specializing in global Enterprise B2B SaaS, products and services companies transactions, acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Unikomm, a pure-play ServiceNow Elite Partner based in Saudi Arabia, on its acquisition by Plat4mation, a global business transformation partner and ServiceNow Elite Partner dedicated to improving operations workflows. This transaction marks a pivotal moment as Unikomm scales its market presence across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and beyond.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Riyadh, Unikomm has been a pioneer in the Gulf’s ServiceNow ecosystem. As Saudi Arabia’s first certified ServiceNow partner, Unikomm supports more than 75 top-tier organizations—including many of the nation’s top 100 companies—with over 165 certified professionals delivering expertise across ITSM, GRC,customer service, and enterprise automation.
Unikomm’s commitment to innovation and client success has made it the partner of choice for organizations undertaking complex digital transformation initiatives. This acquisition enables the company to elevate its offerings and expand delivery capabilities amid growing demand for enterprise automation, fueled by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
“This acquisition marks a major milestone for the Saudi IT market. By integrating our regional strength with Plat4mation’s global expertise, we are bringing world-class ServiceNow solutions to businesses in Saudi Arabia, empowering them to innovate, scale, and compete on a global level,” says Yasser Abdullah, CEO at Unikomm.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in the Netherlands, Plat4mation serves over 200 global clients with more than 450 employees across 10 offices. This acquisition follows Plat4mation’s strategic investments in 2024 from Keensight Capital and ServiceNow Ecosystem Ventures.
“Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a global technology hub, and businesses here are looking for trusted partners to drive innovation,” said Elmer de Valk, CEO of Plat4mation. “With Unikomm’s strong local network and our global expertise, we are ready to deliver best-in-class ServiceNow solutions that will shape the future of business transformation in the Gulf.”
“I sincerely thank the Tequity team for their strategic guidance and unwavering support throughout this pivotal transaction,” said Yasser Abdullah, CEO of Unikomm. “Their deep understanding of the ServiceNow ecosystem and cross-border M&A landscape was instrumental in helping us achieve a successful outcome with Plat4mation.”
