UPSTACK, the fast-growing platform that combines the industry’s leading advisors, advanced technology and dedicated customer support resources, has acquired ChaseTek Partners LLC, an independent telecom agency and technology consultancy based in Columbus, Ohio. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
ChaseTek, founded in 2004, provides consultative IT and telecom procurement, management and support to more than 3,000 businesses of all sizes. Their areas of expertise include UCaaS, CCaaS, cybersecurity, internet, network, backup and disaster recovery, mobility, IOT and cloud infrastructure. ChaseTek specializes in serving multilocation businesses in retail, health care, financial services and manufacturing industries.
As part of the investment, ChaseTek’s President Chris Wolfe and Vice President Michael Marlowe will join UPSTACK as Partners and Managing Directors. Additionally, ChaseTek’s staff of eight technology specialists will join UPSTACK’s support team.
“ChaseTek has grown into a reputable and respected technology infrastructure advisory firm by filling a void in the market for expert advice paired with managed services,” said UPSTACK Founder and CEO Christopher Trapp. “Their model aligns perfectly with our own, and we’re excited to welcome Chris, Michael and team to UPSTACK.”
Wolfe founded ChaseTek to fill a widening gap in the technology marketplace by helping business customers with sourcing solutions, project management and ongoing help desk support for their increasingly complex communications environments. The ChaseTek model was in high demand and the company expanded quickly.
“While our technology solution set has changed, our core value proposition has remained the same,” said Wolfe. “We ensure that provider promises are kept and that clients realize the value of their technology infrastructure from contract signing onward.”
