UK systems integrator SmartComm has gone into administration. A petition to wind up the company was posted on 14 Feb on behalf of HM Revenue and Customs department of the UK government.

Several employee posts on LinkedIn have confirmed the news, including one from Joanna Helin, marketing manager at Smartcomm, which she posted this weekend.
"Unfortunately, Smartcomm has gone into receivership. Beck Interiors and ISG going under last year knocked the business with outstanding debt. As I understand, this was compounded by HM Revenue & Customs not giving the business the extra 2 months needed to secure a deal which would have saved the company and our jobs. A real shame. It was a great British company to work for - the people made it so. We heard the news yesterday late afternoon."
Smartcomm was a recent finalist in the Inavation Awards for its work on the Wirral Council Offices in the UK.
