ENDICOTT, N.Y. — ICS has expanded with the acquisition of a company in Raynham, Massachusetts.
It purchased Unified Networking Solutions, a provider of information-technology (IT) services in the Southeastern Massachusetts market. ICS didn’t disclose any financial terms of its acquisition agreement in its news release announcing it.
Founded in 1986, ICS is an Endicott–based provider of IT managed services and cybersecurity services. The company also has offices in Syracuse, Ithaca, and Auburn.
With the acquisition, all 11 Unified employees have transitioned to ICS, Samantha Wyatt, marketing manager at ICS, tells CNYBJ in an email.
ICS has appointed Brian McDonald, president of Unified Networking Solutions, as the ICS director of the office in Raynham, which is less than 40 miles south of Boston. Howard Cathcart, VP of Unified, will remain in Raynham and take on a senior engineering role within the ICS group.
“After getting to know the team at ICS, it became clear that they were the perfect partner to bring expanded products, services and resources to Unified clients. This will allow us to meet the changing needs of our customers,” Brian McDonald said in the ICS release.
In the more than 30 years since its start, ICS has grown steadily to reach nearly 160 employees.
As a provider of managed-support services and IT-project implementation, the services at Unified Networking Solutions will complement ICS’ capabilities, the acquiring firm said. The two companies integrating their services “made perfect sense,” Kevin Blake, president and CEO of ICS, contended.
“It was clear that Unified’s culture and core values fit right in with ours. We are looking forward to growing our Northeastern footprint through future acquisitions,” Blake added.
