- Transcendent of Wisconsin: The MSP also offers value-added reseller capabilities.
In a prepared statement about the latest acquisitions -- Syntervision and Transcendent -- Airiam CEO Ohad Jehassi said:
“We are thrilled to bring Syntervision’s IT and cybersecurity platform along with Transcendent’s flexible suite of IT and cloud-based solutions to the Airiam organization. Airiam is pioneering an approach to enterprise products that scale the IT and cybersecurity needs of SMEs, and we will soon be announcing a unique offering to the SME market. There is much confusion about the needs of small and mid-sized businesses in the cybersecurity market. These firms are more exposed to risk yet have fewer resources available to manage it. We strive to simplify technology services and pricing models for our customers to ensure they have the right managed IT and best cyber protection. These acquisitions will be instrumental in creating a world-class family of Airiam products and platforms to manage IT and digital transformation that protects and serves our SME customers."
Added Luchansky:
"Smaller companies, often run by brilliant IT teams that created the solution, make up the current MSP space. Many offer outstanding products but use outdated business models and focus on regional customer bases due to their ability to size and scale. Solutions available today are piecemeal for SMEs looking to protect their IT infrastructure. At Airiam, we're consolidating the best of these platforms and products into a single solution. It's scalable, operationally centralized, and offers SMEs an enterprise product that encompasses the whole of their cybersecurity and MSP needs in one place at an affordable price."
