Net@Work, a provider of business software and a Best reseller, has acquired New York competitor American European Consulting Company Inc. - a Best Premiere Accpac provider.
Terms were not disclosed.
"We bought them for their talent," explained Alex Solomon, cofounder of Net@Work. "They were one of the best out there, we actually lost to them a few times. They are also committed to customer service - something very lacking in this industry."
As former competing Best partners, Solomon hopes the AECC acquisition will make Net@Work the largest Best Select partner in the U.S.
The buyout will increase Net@Work's size to around 60 employees and its customer base by 30 percent.
Sandy Needham, founder and principal of AECC, will stay on at Net@Work in a management role in the client care group.
