Fulcrum IT Partners is based in Delaware. Fulcrum is the parent company of IT solution companies in the UK, Canada and the U.S. Fulcrum holds a majority stake in Tieva, a cloud and infrastructure provider in the United Kingdom and iOn, an MSSP in Calgary, Alberta.

Stoneworks Technologies, founded in 2001, is based in Ottowa, Ontario, Canada. The company has 26 employees listed on LinkedIn. Stoneworks' areas of expertise include Cloud Computing, DataCenter, Virtualization, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Mobility, Professional Services, and Support. Stoneworks manages resilient and reliable infrastructure for more than 500 corporations and government agencies in Canada, the company said. Its preferred technology partners include vendors Cisco, Dell, Hitachi, HPE, and VMware.

The acquisition expands the team’s reach in Canada from coast to coast and expands the companies' vertical specialization in the public sector. Stoneworks’ client portfolio of departments and agencies within the Canadian Federal Government and other public sector clients will broaden the combined companies' reach.

Stoneworks Technologies will maintain its brand and the provider’s CEO, Jody Burton, will join the Fulcrum IT Partners executive leadership team (ELT).
