CLEVELAND, OH, Jan. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Park Place Technologies, the world’s leading data center and networking optimization firm, has completed a share purchase deal for the Minnesota-based TPM business (with offices in Atlanta) of NorthSmart. The maintenance services line of business of NorthSmart was founded in 2008 as a complement to the Minnesota-based NorthLand Systems’ hardware sales business, with NorthSmart serving a range of U.S.-based companies, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies.
NorthLand Systems, founded in 1997, will continue as a hardware sales company, and serve as a channel distributor for Park Place.
Bob Bernu, NorthSmart Founder and CEO, said he is turning more of his time and attention to nonprofit causes, and believes Park Place is the industry “gold standard” his clients can trust.
“Park Place treats people with respect, friendliness and great professionalism,” Bernu said. “I am personally confident that our clients will receive the highest level of customer care with Park Place.”
“Park Place has great respect for the business Bob Bernu has grown,” said Chris Adams, Park Place Technologies President and CEO. “NorthSmart’s clients will have immediate access to Park Place’s experienced people and our innovative Professional Services and Managed Services, as our companies continue to grow together and provide unequalled customer care and service.”
