Thrive expands IT footprint with Longleaf acquisition
MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES — Global technology outsourcing provider Thrive has announced the acquisition of The Longleaf Network, a North Carolina-based IT services company.
This marks Thrive’s entry into the Carolinas and continues its pattern of aggressive expansion, having completed ten previous acquisitions in the past two years.
Enhancing service offerings and customer experience
The merger will bring Thrive’s cutting-edge solutions, including its global Security Operation Center (SOC) and Cloud Footprint, to Longleaf’s existing customer base.
The Longleaf Network’s clientele will benefit from enhanced services driven by Thrive’s 24x7x365 service delivery model. This partnership promises to elevate customer experience and optimize technology returns on investment (ROI) through innovative solutions.
“The Triad is a vibrant market and we’re proud to be the preferred local technology outsourcing provider for so many of the businesses that drive our region’s economy,” said Trey Miller, CEO at The Longleaf Network.
“Thrive’s POD approach to matching each client with subject matter experts aligns with our mission of delivering localized and customized service to every client.”
Expanding services and market reach
Thrive’s portfolio of services includes cybersecurity, cloud computing, networking, and other complex IT requirements.
The company’s NextGen platform is designed to increase business efficiencies through standardization, scalability, and automation.
“The Longleaf Network has a proven track record of bringing customer-first IT strategy and services to clients across North Carolina – a culture that resonated with us from the beginning,” said Rob Stephenson, CEO of Thrive.
“The Longleaf partnership will provide us with a strong market presence in a very desirable North Carolina footprint to expand our client base via our NextGen platform.”
While specific financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, the move is part of Thrive’s ongoing growth strategy, which has seen double-digit organic growth alongside its acquisitions.
