LONDON, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ancoris and Sundown Solutions today announced the launch of Telana—a new market-leading, end-to-end provider for innovation, focused on delivering business outcomes through AI, data, software development, and cloud engineering expertise.

Telana represents an unprecedented combination of two pure-play technology partners, combining Ancoris's renowned expertise in AI, data, analytics, and application development with Sundown's robust security, managed services, and highly-regulated cloud infrastructure capabilities. This synergy represents a powerful evolution, and creates a market-leading team focused on delivering actionable, outcome-focused solutions to solve its customers' biggest challenges.

"This is a significant milestone for both businesses and one that we are all excited about," says Andre Azevedo, Telana CEO. "By combining our strengths, we are creating a unique provider that can deliver unparalleled value to our customers - and increasingly exciting growth opportunities for our people. The services market has evolved to become more business case driven, and customers need partners who can deliver outcomes across different technology stacks with both innovative and foundational capabilities - Telana is setting the standard on this front."

"Telana is built on the foundation of applied innovation -" Azevedo continues; "a recognition that innovation means something different to every organisation, and that technology solutions only provide real value when delivered within the context of their businesses. I've always been proud of Ancoris' focus on solving customer problems, and am so excited to take this same capability to new customers and across a broader scope of challenges as Telana."

"We have enjoyed a long standing relationship with Ancoris, who have proven to be a valued partner for Lush," says Mike West, Financial Director, Lush. "They have supported us in achieving many key business objectives in our digital arm of the business and we see this acquisition and expansion of capabilities as a way to enhance this further. We look forward to working with Telana in the future."

Formed through the strategic acquisition of Sundown by Ancoris, Telana holds top tier partnerships with the two leading AI and cloud companies in the world - Google Cloud and Microsoft - which validates its extensive capabilities to deliver unparalleled expertise and support across both platforms. "For years, Sundown's reputation has been built on delivering secure, automated, and highly-regulated cloud infrastructure and managed services on Microsoft Azure. Now, as part of Telana, we're thrilled to extend that same level of trust and expertise to Google Cloud customers. This is an exciting opportunity to broaden our reach and, crucially, to empower our existing Microsoft-focused clients to flex their innovation muscle with the combined power of Telana," says Heath Groves, Sundown CEO. 

"Collectively, we're all gaining new team members, expanding our technology portfolio, and welcoming exciting new customers and partners - these are fantastic opportunities for our people to grow and develop. Being part of a market-leading, innovative technology company opens doors to broader career paths and the chance to work with diverse technologies that enhance skills and expertise," Groves continues.

"My aim is that In 10 years time, our employees will look back and say that Telana was the highlight of their careers!" concludes Azevedo.
