Northgate Public Services acquires i2N

Northgate Public Services has acquired the software company i2N in a deal completed last night.

Since 1999, i2N has been providing specialist software to the Justice, Probation and Prisons areas of the public sector. Their largest customer is the Ministry of Justice and they are one of the top 50 SME IT service providers to the Government.

In recent years i2N has been expanding their offer to include SaaS-based hosted applications which are available through G Cloud that can enhance NPS’ existing public safety portfolio and customer base.

Strategically the acquisition will help NPS to increase their footprint into the adjacent justice sector – the offender management solutions from i2N also support the focus on Offender Management which is a key focus area for NPS’ owners, NEC.

Just like NPS, i2N uses Agile development methodologies as their approach to creating software, making it very easy for the companies to work together in the future.

For now, i2N will continue to operate under their current name.
