Dataprise Acquires PEI

Dataprise, a distinguished provider of managed IT services and cybersecurity solutions, today announced the acquisition of PEI, an IT services provider in Boulder, Colorado. The acquisition brings Dataprise into the Colorado market, deepens its Microsoft practice expertise, and further expands the company’s presence across the United States.

Founded in 1988, PEI’s mission is to architect and deliver IT solutions that effectively address the toughest business challenges for its 250 clients across Colorado and create relationships for life. By joining forces with Dataprise, PEI’s clients now have access to enterprise-grade technology pillars proven to bolster cyber protection, improve business resiliency, and drive business outcomes through technology.

“We are thrilled to welcome PEI into the Dataprise family. PEI’s client for life commitment, three-decade track record, and mature Colorado-based IT service operations makes them the perfect fit for Dataprise as we expand our national footprint,” said William Flannery, Chief Executive Officer, Dataprise.

“Becoming a Dataprise company is a powerful step forward for our company and creates immense benefits for both our clients and employees,” said Tim Krueger, President and CEO,  PEI. “In Dataprise we found a partner that shares our passion for client success, embraces our commitment to innovation, and dramatically expands our managed services portfolio.”

“PEI has a strong management team, talented employees passionate about client service, and extensive reach in Colorado, a region where Dataprise did not have deep operations. This combination makes PEI the perfect addition as Dataprise executes on our strategy to build a nationwide presence for delivering enterprise-grade technology services with a localized touch,” said Christian Fulmino, SVP of M&A, Dataprise.

PEI was represented by Flatirons Capital Advisors.
