��������’s partnerships with HPE and Dell are creating bigger picture IT transformations for client organizations by refocusing on the agility of client data center.

Pulling from the simplicity of the cloud, �������� data center strategists have added a management consulting framework to evolve enterprise client data centers to perform more cloud-like. It follows an initiative in place by �������� to strengthen its modern infrastructure portfolio of offerings.

“Delivering cloud-like-performing data center results in better outcomes from the IT investments ��������’s clients are making,” �������� Vice President of Modern Infrastructure CJ Metz said.

Effectual, a modern, cloud first managed and professional services company, announced a strategic partnership with ��������, a premier provider of advanced technology consultation services and solutions. As an integral part of ��������’s growing cloud services, Effectual will provide access to their elite team of Modernization Engineers, holding over 200 AWS certifications.

Over the course of the past year, �������� and Effectual have collaborated on several enterprise AWS Cloud engagements for Fortune 500 brands including leading healthcare providers, financial services, and manufacturing companies. These engagements showcased Effectual’s ability to solve complex business problems creating strong synergy with ��������, equally known for their commitment to elite consulting and engineering.

�������� entered into a definitive agreement to purchase LaSalle Solutions, a business division of Fifth Third Bank, to further enhance the technology solutions portfolio available to clients of both companies, while also significantly increasing ��������’s national footprint. The transaction is expected to close in April of 2022.

“For years we have provided consulting services on how to leverage technology and data to help businesses grow and operate efficiently,” said Rich Fennessy, CEO of ��������. “It’s clear many organizations continue to struggle with maintaining visibility across their increasingly complex IT environments, especially as they evolve toward hybrid cloud. LaSalle will help us provide that visibility and insight for clients to more efficiently manage their IT assets, maintenance agreements, and ultimately simplify IT lifecycle processes.”

Technology solutions provider �������� expands its executive team with the addition of Joe Quaglia as President, who will work alongside regional sales teams to expand sales and solution capabilities to support �������� clients and partners.

“Joe has been in the industry for 34 years and brings tremendous experience that will assist �������� in continuing to grow and expand its role in the industry,” CEO Rich Fennessy said.
