Logicalis Acquires Computech Resources Inc
Expands IBM Solution Capabilities; Strengthens Midwest Presence
Logicalis, a global provider of high-performance technology solutions, today announced the acquisition of Computech Resources, an IBM Premier Business Partner and a $35 million solution provider of IBM products and services, based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The acquisition strengthens Logicalis' IBM solution capabilities and Midwest presence by adding 65 professionals, bringing its number of employees to over 500 nationwide and increasing Logicalis US revenue to nearly $500 million. It also extends Logicalis' capability to provide IBM based solutions to the Small and Medium Business environment. The company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Logicalis, effective immediately.
As an IBM Premier Business Partner, On Demand Accredited Business Partner and winner of several IBM Beacon and IBM Global Services Leadership awards, Computech brings a leading staff of consultants and delivery experts that increase Logicalis' presence in several major metropolitan markets including Green Bay, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis. In addition, the acquisition strengthens Logicalis' ability to provide service based solutions around IBM servers (particularly System i), storage and software, giving Logicalis a more balanced distribution of sales and service expertise among its key product lines, which include IBM, HP, Cisco and EMC.
"This acquisition further extends Logicalis' nationwide capabilities to provide a broad range of IT solutions from leading vendors," said Mike Cox, President and CEO, Logicalis North American operations. "Most of our customers have heterogeneous IT environments, so the ability to act as a single-source solution provider is exactly what they want. This acquisition lets them deal with a single entity for all of their IT needs."
The company expects Computech to become an integrated part of Logicalis by the end of the year.
