cloud services including Office 365,
Skype for Business and Azure.
CloudStrategies was founded in
2009 and was “born in the cloud” as
one of the first Microsoft computing
resellers in the industry. The company
deployed Microsoft cloud services to
more than 500 customers nationwide,
across various key verticals, and sup-
ported the migration of 100,000-plus
users. Its delivery of services ranged
from solution design to migration and
also included ongoing training and
client support.
“Our transaction with CloudStrate-
gies was a natural evolution of our
established partnership,” stated Frank
Ahearn, founder and co-CEO of BCM
One. “It allows us to expand our exist-
ing in-house cloud specialists with a
proven team that delivers and supports
best-in-class Microsoft solutions.”
“The acquisition of CloudStrategies
by BCM One builds on the strengths of
both partners and will allow the com-
bined company to extend their services
to deliver new cloud solutions to our joint
customers,” added Stephen Boyle, vice
president, U.S. partners at Microsoft.
“The focus on Skype for Business, Cloud
Productivity and Azure is well aligned to
the priorities we are driving across the
Microsoft partner ecosystem.”
BCM One became a Microsoft Part-
ner close to two years ago and is certi-
fied to host Microsoft Customer Immer-
sion Experience sessions (CIEs).
