MSP Acquires Web Developer: Alliance Technologies Buys Tuva Interactive

An MSP (managed IT services provider) has acquired a SaaS and Web application development specialist, the two St. Louis-based businesses have disclosed.

The deal involves Alliance Technologies buying Tuva Interactive. The acquired asset merges into a newly launched sister business called Alliance Systems -- which focuses on design, Web development and business solutions. 

The buyer is one of the 50 fastest growing companies in St. Louis, according to a local monthly magazine. Alliance Technologies achieved Microsoft Silver Partner status as a small and midmarket cloud solutions provider in 2018. The firm's key services include cloud, hosted, managed and network assessment services. Alliance Technologies also offers expertise in Office 365 for nonprofit companies.

Meanwhile, Tuva has operated in St. Louis for more than 20 years under the leadership of Ken Mocabee. The company has developed B2B and B2C applications along with SaaS solutions in such vertical markets as financial, manufacturing and professional services.

The merger expands the services that Alliance offers to include web development, application development, mobile application development, and systems integration.
