Managed Services Acquisition: All Covered Buys ColdCypress

All Covered, the nationwide managed service provider and a division of Konica Minolta, has acquired ColdCypress, a Pittsburgh, Pa.-based IT consulting and IT services firm that specializes in Microsoft SharePoint, VMware and PC server virtualization services.

All Covered also added cloud services to its IT services suite in early October, 2011. That’s also when we first heard rumblings about another acquisition. No doubt, ColdCypress serves some hot markets. VMware announced another round of strong quarterly earnings yesterday. Also, SharePoint has remained a strong performer even as Microsoft struggles to regain its reputation as a growth company.
