Acquisition Bolsters Core’s Managed Services and Cloud Solutions
Offerings and Adds Geographic Expansion

GARDEN CITY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/cloud?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#cloudlt;/agt;–Core BTS (Core), a national IT solutions, security and managed services
provider, announced today that it has acquired the Microsoft Business
Unit of SADA Systems, a privately-owned global leader in business and
technology consulting and IT services, for an undisclosed sum. This
acquisition is part of Core’s ongoing strategy to expand its services
portfolio, including its managed services capabilities, across the
United States. In August 2018, Core was acquired by Tailwind Capital, a
middle market private equity firm focused on growth-oriented investments
in targeted sectors within healthcare, business services and industrial
services.

“This acquisition strengthens our strategic partnership with Microsoft
and expands our relationships with many tremendous clients,” said Core
CEO Walter Cook. “Our talented team will continue to offer our clients
the industry-leading services and solutions that help them advance their
businesses through technology. I am excited to welcome the employees to
the Core family.”

SADA’s Microsoft practice is a premier Microsoft Cloud Solutions
Provider (CSP), holding multiple Gold competencies, and has a proven
track record in enterprise consulting, cloud platform migration, custom
application development, managed services, user adoption and change
management.

“We’re proud of the tremendous growth we’ve experienced, the exceptional
team we’ve built, and the industry leading brands with whom we have
worked,” said SADA Systems CEO Tony Safoian. “We’re confident our
customers are in excellent hands with Core, where they will continue to
receive the same level of service delivery and support from the team
they know and love.”

Core has an established IT services and cloud solutions portfolio
focused on Network, Data Center, Collaboration and Security. The
addition of the SADA’s Microsoft business unit greatly expands these
capabilities, strengthening Core’s professional and managed services, as
well as end user adoption for the broader Microsoft solution set. With
the addition of SADA’s Microsoft team, Core now adds significant
capabilities to address its customers increasing demand for Azure and
Office 365 cloud solutions.

With 16 offices across the United States, Core employs a team of IT
consultants and engineers that provide design, implementation, and
ongoing support services. Core has over 1,200 active customers across
diverse industries, including healthcare, education, financial services,
gaming and manufacturing. The addition of this West Coast operation
significantly expands Core’s ability to serve its current and future
customers.
