Tom Rush commented: "We're extremely pleased to have supported Jeremy and Astral Tech in this important deal.

With the energy transition becoming more crucial every day, we're proud to have supported a business that will support these global targets."

This unified data approach enables IMServ’s clients to access insights from meters, assets, and customer interactions, leading to cost efficiency, deeper analytics, smarter decision-making, and greater value in driving the energy transition.

With Fieldfisher's strategic legal guidance during this acquisition, Astral Tech's expertise will support IMServ in creating a unified energy data model that eliminates fragmentation and complexity and ensures every customer gets the clarity they need.
