Xerox has agreed to acquire the IT provider ITsavvy as part of its larger efforts to expand its IT services business investments.

ITsavvy owner GenNx360 Capital Partners announced on Thursday that it is selling ITsavvy to Xerox for $400 million. The Illinois-based IT provider has made its profit by providing technology infrastructure solutions and services designed to accelerate business outcomes.

Xerox MSP Acquisition Strategy

Xerox has slowly acquired MSPs over the last few years, adding them to its portfolio of companies providing IT services to those in need. However, it only recently began to pivot toward IT services this year as part of a "Reinvention," or a realignment of its interests internally.

Some notable acquisitions include purchasing the Canadian MSP Digitex Canada in 2020. There was also the deal for MT Business Technologies in 2017, which allowed Xerox to acquire an Ohio-based dealer of multivendor office equipment.
