Harris Corporation Completes Acquisition of Schlumberger Global Connectivity Services; Forms the Leading Global Communications Services Business Supporting Remote and Harsh Environments

Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has completed its previously announced acquisition of the Global Connectivity Services (GCS) business from an operating unit of Schlumberger.

THISS Technologies has had a long standing relationship with Schlumberger, and did in 2008 appoint them as the exclusive authorized reseller of a suite of THISS’ technology to the Oil and Gas sector. This exclusive appointment will now be carried over to Harris CapRock Communications.

“We see this acquisition as a positive development for the GCS group as well as for THISS Technologies. The consolidated Harris CapRock Communications is well placed as the unsurpassed leader in providing global remote and satellite connectivity, and as such a fantastic reseller and service provider for THISS.” said THISS Chief Operating Officer, Nicholas Cirillo. “We look forward to developing this relationship not only in the Oil and Gas sector but also to extending our offerings across the scope of markets that Harris CapRock Communications addresses”.
