Addressing Fears — Acquisitions Track Record

“Here’s the reality. People, in the absence of information and having all the details, go right to fear, doubt, and uncertainty. That’s just human nature. None of us — you, me, my dog — like change. And this acquisition is change, on a rather large scale. And what magnifies it, is that Datto is a public company. So unlike when we bought IT Glue, or ID Agent, or RapidFireTools, or Spanning or any of our other acquisitions, we can’t talk about it in post-deal terms just yet.

“I would address it this way. Look at Kaseya’s track record of acquisitions. Throughout each integration, we’ve always kept the brand. We’ve done zero layoffs, and we’ve kept the autonomy of the company that we’ve acquired. Obviously now they are part of Kaseya — we integrate the back office system, the HR, the finance, etc. But we’ve kept the autonomy and more importantly, we’ve kept the culture of what makes these companies great.”
