ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Endicott–based ICS on Thursday announced it has acquired AKUITY Technologies, a provider of information technology (IT) managed services in the greater New England area.
ICS — a provider of IT managed services and cybersecurity products in the Northeast — didn’t provide any financial terms of the acquisition deal in its Thursday news release. The deal closed the same day, ICS tells CNYBJ in an email.
ICS and Auburn, Massachusetts–based AKUITY say they are joining forces to “expand their Northeast footprint strategically.”
