ScanSource, a hybrid distributor for connecting devices to the cloud, purchased technology advisor Resourcive. Resourcive delivers strategic IT sourcing solutions to the mid-market and enterprise, advising clients on value creation strategies that are enabled by technology.
With the acquisition, ScanSource is creating a channel advisory business to serve as a platform for the channel model of the future. This business is separate from ScanSource’s Intelisys business as a TSD.
Resourcive was founded in 2001 to create a symbiotic, strategic partnership with customers that allows them to integrate new technology, lower cost and increase profitability to drive growth. Resourcive serves over 300 customers in cloud, IoT, communications, contact center, networking and other technologies, with extensive experience supporting PE-backed and public companies.
“When ScanSource announced their strategy to acquire advisors, we were convinced that our management team was ideally suited to play a key role in leading this new business,” said Tom Gesky, the founder and CEO of Resourcive. “Being a part of the ScanSource team will allow us to greatly expand the resources and capabilities we can provide to our customers. I’m proud of the leadership team we have in place, led by Kyle Hall, Kyle Gotzman and Nick Creasey, and I’m excited to see them continue to grow the company under ScanSource’s ownership.”
The Resourcive team will report to Mark Morgan, president of ScanSource channel advisors. Morgan led the research and acquisition teams when ScanSource acquired Intelisys in 2016.
“The Resourcive leadership team knows what it takes to build a successful advisory business,” said Morgan. “Resourcive has grown faster than the industry average, at double-digit rates, and remains committed to creating value and enabling growth for their customers.”
“We are thrilled to join the ScanSource team,” said Resourcive president, Kyle Hall. “Having access to more resources will serve as a springboard for continued growth, enabling us to help our customers take their business to the next level and deliver on what our vision of a Technology Value Creation Partner can and should be.”
The acquisition’s terms were not disclosed.
