EarthLink has completed the $22 million acquisition of CenterBeam, a privately-owned company focused on secure cloud-based IT services.
With this acquisition complete, EarthLink plans to begin to offer CenterBeam’s 365+ Enterprise Cloud service, Unified End Point Management and Help Desk solutions through its distribution channels later this quarter.
CenterBeam provides remote managed IT services primarily to multi-location mid-sized businesses, and operates an IT Support Center providing help desk, desktop technical support and application support services. The IT Support Center is staffed by approximately 140 IT specialists and engineers who now join the EarthLink team.
“With the close of this strategic acquisition, we intend to add CenterBeam’s IT services and help desk competencies to quickly expand our IT services portfolio and extend these services nationwide in conjunction with our cloud, security and network connectivity solutions,” said EarthLink Chairman and CEO Rolla P. Huff. “The addition of CenterBeam’s skilled and seasoned team, with years of IT services expertise, will be a major benefit as we strategically grow the EarthLink IT services business.”
