The acquisition is a testament to the transformation TPx has completed and the position the provider is in to take advantage of the growth opportunity in the UCaaS, CCaaS, managed WAN, managed security and other managed IT markets.
M&A has always been an important strategy for TPx as they themselves have completed nine acquisitions over their history, with the most notable and transformational being the DSCI acquisition back in 2016.
That acquisition enabled TPx to operate its own UCaaS platform, expand nationally and fortify its managed IT solution set with additional resources and expertise that have been the catalysts to their expansion into cybersecurity, backup and more.
“We expect we’ll take advantage of more opportunities in the future to expand our product catalog and coverage,” said Dick Jalkut, president and CEO, TPx.

Similarly, TPx is a leader in managed SD-WAN services and we continue to make significant progress with our other managed IT services.
CF: What was the single biggest technology or business decision that drove your company’s growth last year? How did it do so?
DJ: SD-WAN has been a game-changing technology for the industry and for TPx. Because of the many use cases it fulfills, SD-WAN has enabled TPx to offer WAN, UC and SIP voice services on a nationwide basis “over the top” while maintaining quality and strict SLAs.
TPx’s SD-WAN solution, MSx for WAN, is a fully managed, subscription-based service that maximizes our customers’ existing bandwidth resources, providing quality of service (QoS) over any WAN connection and increasing the performance of mission-critical applications.
