Entisys
Solutions, Inc., which along with its Southern California division, Agile360,
is the West Coast's #1 expert in the deployment of advanced IT
infrastructure solutions for the data center, all forms of end-user
computing including mobile devices, and the public and private cloud,
today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Premier
IT Solutions. Headquartered in Sacramento, Calif., Premier IT
Solutions is an IT services firm focused on software quality assurance,
testing automation and performance monitoring.
“The acquisition of Premier IT Solutions comes at the close of a very
successful year for Entisys Solutions, and one during which we continued
to invest in resources that focus on the ‘New Style of IT,’ to further
strengthen our alignment with our key vendor partners, especially HP,
and exponentially increase the value we bring to customers,” said Mike
Strohl, CEO, Entisys Solutions. “Premier IT Solutions’ unique expertise
in software development, application testing and performance monitoring,
particularly when it comes to HP’s suite of enterprise software
solutions, will further differentiate Entisys by enabling us to provide
something very few HP enterprise partners can – the ability to leverage
the Premier Solutions IT Framework for software development around
enterprise datacenter applications to bring a unified solution set to
the enterprise customers and government agencies we serve.”
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Premier IT Solutions,
which has a well-established reputation for serving some of California’s
largest government agencies, will become part of Entisys Solutions’
Northern California Division, based in Sacramento, Calif.
“This acquisition is about bringing real value to our customers and
partners by serving them more effectively,” continued Strohl. “One of
the most exciting things for us is the people and culture that Premier
IT Solutions brings to the table – this is the first thing we look at
when evaluating this type of opportunity. Richard Collins and his team
are true professionals with decades of experience focused on service and
true customer success, and they will fit in perfectly with the team at
Entisys and Agile360, who live, eat and breath that same philosophy.”
“We are delighted to be joining Entisys Solutions,” said Richard
Collins, CEO, Premier IT Solutions. “As it stands, there are already
some great synergies between our two companies and the mutual clients we
serve within the California public sector. By joining forces, we can
further expand our reach both vertically and horizontally, while adding
greater strategic value to the agencies we work with.”
“With the acquisition of Premier IT Solutions, Entisys creates a winning
combination to assist customers with enterprise solutions from the
infrastructure to the application,” said Sue Barsamian, SVP of Indirect
Sales, HP Enterprise Group. “We are excited to see two strong HP
partners come together and expand their offerings around the New Style
of IT.”
