MSPs Netsurit, Trace3, Thrive Make Acquisition Moves

Three brand-new MSP acquisitions result in the enhancement of the companies’ technology portfolios.

Netsurit has acquired Evoke, a digital transformation company. Evoke delivers user experience, business intelligence and business automation to organizations worldwide. The acquisition of Evoke is part of Netsurit’s U.S. market expansion. It adds significant capabilities supporting the modern workplace and enabling companies of all sizes to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, the company said.

Trace3

Trace3 has acquired LaSalle Solutions, a business division of Fifth Third Bank. This is to further enhance the tech portfolio available to clients of both companies. It also significantly increases Trace3’s national footprint.

Fifth Third acquired LaSalle in 2019 as part of the merger between Fifth Third’s parent company, Fifth Third Bancorp, and MB Financial. It will retain the leasing arm of LaSalle. Fifth Third is selling the parts of LaSalle that are not in line with its core banking operations.

Trace3 says LaSalle clients also will benefit from its close partnership with the venture capital community. LaSalle will enhance Trace3 offerings in data center infrastructure, collaboration and IT life cycle services, the company said.

Thrive

Thrive, the provider of next-gen managed services, has acquired SouthTech, a managed technology solutions company in Florida. The acquisition will provide businesses throughout the region with enhanced IT support. Additionally, Thrive’s next-gen managed cybersecurity, collaboration and cloud services help drive digital transformation efficiencies.

SouthTech marks the second acquisition by Thrive in Florida this year. Thrive says it’s a security-first MSP that delivers comprehensive managed services and expertise. It drives secure digital transformation for small-to-midsize enterprises across multiple industries.
