When done right, digital communication empowers human connection and Diversified’s solutions are experienced by millions every day.

Leading Global Company
Diversified began as a start-up broadcast integration firm in 1993 and has grown into one of the top technology solution providers in the world. Originally manufacturingcentric, the business model transitioned to integration when its founder realised his vision for a company positioned at the forefront of technology, providing clients with the best solutions to meet business objectives. This vision drove leadership to take risks and reinvest earnings back into the business to keep up with growing demands — always determined to challenge the status quo and lead the industry with innovative technology solutions.
Fast forward two decades, Diversified had grown organically with

350 employees across eight offices by 2015. Knowing there was more to offer but in need of capital to move the needle, a private equity firm was engaged to help fuel the company’s global goals. Following that investment, the company made a series of strategic US-based acquisitions to grow its offerings and geographic coverage domestically before turning its sights towards overseas expansion.
Focused on meeting customer needs, Diversified finalised its first international acquisition in 2018 with UK-based Digitavia, giving the company its first physical footprint in the EMEA region. Having successfully partnered on previous projects, it seemed an ideal fit to bring an expanded solution set to the European market with a local hub to deploy and service. Weeks later, Diversified announced its intent to acquire TSL-FZ in Dubai Studio City, further expanding its reach within the region and solidifying its EMEA presence.
In 2020, Diversified reached one billion dollars in revenue and delivered more than 30,000 projects worldwide — a number that has grown by more than 50% over three years and continues to grow with a strong geographic footprint and breadth of offerings.
