• Expanded Geographic Reach – With established operations across North America and EMEA, ATSG provides customers with a 24/7 global team of experts.
• Emphasis on Security – Cybersecurity solutions are integrated across the technology stack, ensuring end-to-end protection and compliance.
• Flexible Cloud Options – Businesses can migrate select workloads or fully transition to ATSG’s cloud-based solutions, enabling cost efficiencies and scalable performance.
• Unified Culture of Innovation – By merging talent and technology, the combined entity fosters a forward-looking culture dedicated to continuous improvement and customer-centric innovation.
“When you combine ATSG’s track record in managed services with Evolve IP’s expertise in cloud-based communications, you create a powerful engine for growth,” remarked Walt Walker, Chief Revenue Officer. “This merger broadens opportunities for our clients and partners, positioning them to thrive in an evolving digital landscape.”
Poised for Continued Success
With combined revenues surpassing $230 million, a global customer base of over 1,700 organisations, and a team of skilled professionals, the newly expanded ATSG is positioned to lead the next wave of innovation in managed IT and security services. Paul Harrison, Managing Director, Evolve IP, EMEA, says customers across Europe and beyond can expect even greater levels of service.
Harrison highlighted: “The new executive team marks a significant step forward as we continue to bring our two companies together, enhance our service offerings, boost operational excellence, and continue to deliver unmatched value to our partners.”
