TRIBRIDGE ACQUIRES DYNAMICS VAR EPARTNERS

Tampa, Fla. - Microsoft Dynamics Master VAR Tribridge has purchased the U.S.-based Dynamics enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management software business of ePartners, creating one of the largest Dynamics value-added resellers and business consultancies in the U.S. The purchase includes most of ePartners' U.S. assets - the British firm, ePartners UK Ltd., was acquired earlier this year by a European Microsoft partner.

The transaction involves the integration of over a half-dozen ePartners offices and approximately 85 staff members, adding to Tribridge's existing staff of over 300 and 13 U.S. offices. All of those offices geographically overlap with Tribridge, with the exception of ePartners' Nashville, Tenn., operation. The deal will also result in a total client base of approximately 3,500.
