Vertilocity Acquires Odyssey: Broadening Services
Bruce Nelson, president, Vertilocity, commented:
“I’m excited about what this merger brings to our team and the clients of both firms. Our collective expertise along with the financial services offered by HBK combine for a unique, comprehensive, and extremely valuable offering to our current and future clients.”
Mike Dorsey, president, Odyssey Software, said:
“I have known and respected Bruce for nearly two decades. He’s honest and ethical, does things the right way, and that was a big factor in our decision to merge with Vertilocity. But this is also an extraordinarily good fit. We are incredibly complementary. Nothing either of us does conflicts with the other, and clients looking at one of us are also likely looking for the other.
“The merger gives us a much broader range of services to help our clients move into the virtual or managed IT world. As well, being part of HBK means greater opportunity, including an enormous HBK customer base we can offer our services to, and greater strength in terms of financial resources, which will allow us to serve larger organizations.”
Christopher M. Allegretti, CPA, managing principal and CEO, HBK, added:
“Digital technology is the most impactful disrupter in business today. Everywhere and in every industry, companies are embracing digital transformation. Our merger with Odyssey represents our ongoing commitment to delivering relevant, sophisticated technological support to our clients by adding another powerful group of solutions to our managed services offering.”
