Thrive, a global technology outsourcing provider for cybersecurity, cloud and IT managed services, announced the purchase of The Longleaf Network.
A provider itself, Longleaf’s customers will now have access to cutting-edge solutions driven by Thrive’s global SOC and cloud footprint, backed by 1,300 expert technology employees worldwide. The combination of its local North Carolina team with Thrive’s 24x7x365 service delivery mandate is expected to enhance CX and provide additional technology ROI.
Thrive’s commitment has always been to continue growing, expanding and innovating to provide the best technology solutions for clients. Similarly, The Longleaf Network will enable Thrive to expand its reach into North Carolina, giving customers access to global technology outsourcing services with a dedicated level of service. Together, the companies will work to ensure that businesses have the resources needed to achieve desired business outcomes while accelerating digital transformation.
“The Longleaf Network has a proven track record of bringing customer-first IT strategy and services to clients across North Carolina – a culture that resonated with us from the beginning,” said Thrive CEO, Rob Stephenson. “The Longleaf partnership will provide us with a strong market presence in a very desirable North Carolina footprint to expand our client base via our NextGen platform.”
The transaction comes at a time of continuous growth for Thrive, having completed 10 previous acquisitions over the past two years, as well as double-digit organic growth via widespread adoption of its cybersecurity, cloud and managed services platform. The company continues to add to its list of offerings, including Thrive incident response and remediation and dark web monitoring.
“The Triad is a vibrant market and we’re proud to be the preferred local technology outsourcing provider for so many of the businesses that drive our region’s economy,” said Trey Miller, CEO with The Longleaf Network. “Thrive’s POD approach to matching each client with subject matter experts aligns with our mission of delivering localized and customized service to every client. With Thrive’s partnership, we can deliver even better support in our local market while expanding our offerings to increase ROI for our clients.”
