GZ6G Explains Ideal MSP Acquisition Targets
Although the MSP M&A market is crowded with buyers and investors, GZ6G Technologies isn't seeking to buy generic MSPs. Rather, target MSPs include wireless IT managed service companies, SaaS IoT (Internet of Things) software applications/devices, digital marketing and sponsor agencies, and data centers.Moreover, target MSPs should have expertise in data analytics products, and smart technology-enabled offerings such as digital signage, IPTV, guest WiFi services, and data and content management systems.In a prepared statement, GZ6G Technologies CEO Coleman Smith said:“We are a forward-thinking company and seek to collaborate with other like-minded businesses that want to expand in the fast-growing technology solutions space. By working alongside MSPs and other smart-technology enabled companies, we can build our brand and influence, as we strive to become a leading provider of in-venue security and innovative technology for stadium and event venues across the nation. Acquiring companies that provide emerging technologies and have a similar growth mindset to GZ6G should help us solidify our suite of solutions and drive long-term growth.”
