ARG announces the merger with long-time partner Freedom Solutions Group to operate more closely as an ARG company. FSG will be able to leverage the ARG platform to expand its services and support while staying focused on helping its clients make thoughtful technology decisions.
Founded in 2001, FSG boasts a national reach and focuses its design, implementation and IT management efforts on the needs and business opportunities of organizations headquartered in the , mid-Atlantic and north east regions of the United States.
Led by Walt McGraw and Storm Karlsen, who have more than 60 years of experience in the consumer, retail and telecom industry to ARG, FSG is known for its secure networking skill set, market knowledge and commitment to customer service.
FSG’s “purpose-built” networking expertise and emphasis on getting IT done right for its customers are synergistic with ARG’s high-touch model and growing portfolio of cloud, security and emerging solutions and services. FSG’s extensive experience in telecom, combined with its market-specific expertise was also a draw for ARG, which is recognized for its service specialization and industry knowledge.
FSG’s clients will benefit from research and data collected across thousands of data center, cloud and security-based solutions. Combined, FSG and ARG help clients implement thousands of technology advancements every year.
Following closely on the heels of ARG’s recent acquisition of NextWave Technology Advisors, FSG is another example of the high-performing, high-potential firms ARG is pursuing and bringing into the fold as part of its three-part growth strategy.
“We’re serious about our clients’ success and growth through the alignment with the industry’s top-performing companies and high potential start-ups,” says Mike Shonholz, CRO, ARG. “Walt and Storm are phenomenal executives with a loyal customer base that will benefit tremendously from the expertise and services we bring collectively to the table.”
