ScanSource Inc., a hybrid distributor connecting devices to the cloud, announced Aug. 16 it acquired Advantix, a reseller-focused, managed connectivity experience provider based in Texas, for an undisclosed sum.
Following the acquisition, Natasha Royer Coons and Nathan Brown will serve as co-presidents of Advantix, a ScanSource company.
ScanSource also launched its Integrated Solutions and Services group, which is focused on developing solutions and services that will provide hardware VARs an opportunity to wrap additional value around their hardware offerings. The group will be headed by Ansley Hoke, who has been with the company for over 22 years.
“The launch of our Integrated Solutions and Services group, coupled with the acquisition of Advantix, allows ScanSource hardware VARs to combine connectivity with hardware, software and services, bringing additional value to the hardware sale and enabling a complete hybrid solution. With more solutions and services comes more margin for the VAR and deeper relationships with their end users,” said Tony Sorrentino, president of ScanSource Specialty Technologies. “Advantix has a proven track record of helping hardware partners add recurring revenue to their practice and will be instrumental to our partners looking to wrap additional services around their hardware sales.”
