Mergers and Acquisitions

Thrive Acquires InCare Technologies, Expands Footprint in the South

  • Written by Claudia Adrien
  • January 6, 2022
The partnership will extend Thrive's cloud and cybersecurity managed services platform to a new base of clients.

Thrive Networks, the Massachusetts-based provider of next-gen managed services, is buying InCare Technologies, an MSP. InCare is known for its work with health care, local governments, education and SMB customers.

Thrive says the acquisition gives it a strong presence in the South since InCare’s headquarters is in Alabama. InCare also has offices in Tennessee and Mississippi.

Furthermore, the purchase enables Thrive to better deliver and support its managed cybersecurity, collaboration and cloud services nationally.

InCare’s managed services include IT support, cybersecurity, networking, total technology outsourced management and more.

Sophisticated Security Operations

Rob Stephenson is CEO of Thrive.

“InCare Technologies is one of the best-run MSPs that we’ve had the privilege of working with. They are a perfect partner because of their operational maturity, management, technical acumen and commitment to customer service,” Stephenson said. “Thrive’s ServiceNow platform, sophisticated 24x7x365 security operations center (SOC) practice, and public, private and hybrid cloud solutions will undoubtedly benefit InCare’s loyal clientele and attract future prospects within the region.”

Brian Walker, CEO of InCare Technologies, said the company helps its customers stay productive and secure as they look to streamline their IT operations. Moreover, Walker said the partnership further improves the way the company gets advanced technologies to clients. Also, it will improve innovation and efficiencies, he said.

“Our team is impressed by Thrive’s people, processes and platform, but most importantly by their commitment to customer service and their own employees. This makes them a perfect match to continue our legacy and workplace culture as a leader in our market,” he said.

Thrive was a first-time exhibitor at last fall’s Channel Partners Conference & Expo and co-located MSP Summit.
