Momentum’s ‘Momentum’ with Major Acquisitions
It’s been a momentous time for Momentum, with major acquisitions affirming its impressive communications portfolio. One of the most significant was its bringing G12 Communications into the fold.
Momentum’s addition of G12’s services as a Seattle-based provider of voice-enabled and Operator Connect Microsoft Teams solutions was intended to enhance its communications portfolio. The process entails integrating G12’s leading executive talent while affirming its status as a leading voice-enablement platform for Teams.
Momentum described the acquisition of G12 as a significant milestone in Momentum’s growth strategy and dedication to offering advanced communication products to its customers. By introducing G12’s expertise in voice-enabled Microsoft Teams and Operator Connect solutions to Momentum’s suite, Momentum stated that it was prepared to deliver an “unparalleled suite of services to customers”.
“This acquisition aligns perfectly with our vision of enabling businesses to thrive by communicating and collaborating more effectively,” Zittrouer said after the deal was finalised. “Microsoft Teams has become a vital tool for the modern workplace, and by enhancing our capabilities with the expertise of the G12 team, we are helping our customers optimise their hybrid work environments.”
Momentum also recently acquired Asset Black, another MSP, which Momentum anticipated would expand the reach of its managed network offering.
