Thrive acquires Worksighted to expand U.S. managed IT services
MASSACHUSETTS and MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES — Global technology outsourcing provider Thrive has announced its acquisition of Worksighted, a Michigan-based IT services firm.
According to its press release, Thrive notes that the strategic move accelerates its Midwest expansion and bolsters its portfolio with Worksighted’s renowned personalized approach to managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud services.
“As Thrive continues to expand our offerings in this rapidly evolving technology landscape, we are committed to offering not only the best technology to our customers, but the best experience,” said Bill McLaughlin, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Thrive.
Thrive, Worksighted align global, U.S. Midwest IT services
Thrive is an international technology outsourcing partner that enables small- and mid-market companies to leverage its technology to enhance their competitive edge through a full-scale AI, cybersecurity, and cloud solution.
The professionals at the firm provide end-to-end IT management, including a 24/7 operations center, security, and network operations, enabling clients to achieve the returns on their outsourced services and stay safe and sustained.
Meanwhile, Worksighted exemplifies a regionally focused approach, having provided strategic IT partnerships to businesses primarily throughout Michigan since 2000.
This Holland-based firm prioritizes closer client relationships by assigning a dedicated Client Success Manager who tailors support—from cloud management to vendor coordination—to help organizations achieve their specific long-term growth objectives.
Thrive boosts U.S. Midwest growth with Worksighted
The acquisition of Worksighted will be the company’s fifth this year and its 27th since its establishment, indicating its insatiable growth model.
This is in addition to other recent acquisitions, such as Safety Net, VitalCORE, and Abacode, which help the firm entrench itself in this strategic market. This trend indicates a distinct approach to infusing regional expertise into its international service provision model.
McLaughlin notes, “By bringing Worksighted’s expertise in a personalized approach, we are enhancing our ability to deliver tailored, high-impact outcomes for our clients.”
The rationale behind this move is that the fast-changing world of technology is placing greater emphasis on scale and personalization to achieve competitive differentiation.
Thrive, Worksighted share people‑first IT services culture
A core driver of this acquisition is the alignment of a shared philosophy that prioritizes people within the technology ecosystem. Both companies emphasize a culture where human experience is paramount, with Worksighted being known for putting “people at the heart of technology.”
This shared commitment to a people-first model is considered a strategic asset, not just a branding statement, in the delivery of complex IT and AI services. The combination is framed as a fusion of Worksighted’s vision, empathy, and expertise with Thrive’s broader resources.
This human-centric approach is viewed as a critical component for delivering superior client experiences in an age of automated services.
Mike Harris, CEO of Worksighted, stated that “Joining Thrive allows us to scale that approach and bring even greater value to clients. Together, we will be able to continue to deliver an experience that puts humans at the center of technology.”
