Meriplex, a provider of managed cybersecurity and IT solutions, has acquired Louisiana-based MSP Verma Systems. The MSP specializes in business technology tailored towards the SMB market.

Verma Systems consults businesses in Baton Rouge and across Louisiana and has done so for more than 30 years. It provides personalized solutions to its clients. This allows customers to leverage IT and technology to enhance business efficiency, the company said.

“Verma Systems is an excellent addition to the Meriplex organization,” Henley said. “With their talented team and longstanding reputation in the Louisiana market, we will be able to provide more innovative technology and service offerings to their clients and work towards our goal of being the number one MSP/MSSP in the nation.”

Organic, Inorganic Growth

As a fast-growing managed services provider, Meriplex focuses on strategically acquiring businesses in leading markets. This allows the company to establish a regional presence, acquiring talent to support their increasing large organic and inorganic growth.

“For me, it has always been about the customer and our employees,” Verma said. “Joining forces with Meriplex means we have more resources at our fingertips including additional IT experts, new product lines and the capability to offer more well-rounded technical solutions. I know the people behind Meriplex, and we share the same core values and work ethic. With their expertise, size and seasoned approach, I am confident we can provide more for our clients and our employees.”

Verma Systems is not Meriplex’s only recent MSP acquisition. In April the company purchased Indiana-based MSP Cyberian Technologies. The deal was for an undisclosed amount.

And in June Meriplex bought Oregon-based MSP LightPoint, a technology partner to SMBs and the health care industry in the Pacific Northwest.

There were many mergers and acquisitions in May and June, but which of the latest M&A news stood out? We’ve answered that question with a dozen deals that made their mark. See the slideshow above.

Despite economic concerns, there were two multibillion-dollar acquisitions in the channel during this period. Once the dust settled on those deals, the critiques came out of their hiding spots. For one of the acquisitions, analysts worry that there may be significant layoffs as a result. This assessment was made based on the acquiring company’s prior deal in which more than 1,000 workers were let go. For the other multibillion-dollar acquisition, one with a smaller price tag, the concern surrounds whether the purchase is a cultural fit in the MSP space.

Speaking of MSPs, we feature one company that has acquired four MSPs in the first half of this year alone. The shopping spree has lead to the company’s geographic expansion in South Florida, among other locales.

Lastly, we report on a deal that creates the largest technology solutions brokerage in the world. Some are alluding it’s a marriage made in heaven.
