Blue Valley Tele-Communications, Inc. announced this week it has acquired Networks Plus of Manhattan. Company officials say the acquisition combines BVTC’s experience and expertise in communications and Information Technology (IT) services, with capabilities, certifications, and technical expertise from the Networks Plus team, providing customers access to what is described as one of the most powerful I-T teams now in the state.
The acquisition is expected to expand BVTC’s leadership in the area of IT support, colocation, and virtual data services, all of which project long-term growth opportunities for both entities.
“For us, it is not about becoming the biggest [IT provider] – it is about being the best and providing the highest quality service to our customers. We are a national leader in our industry so it comes without saying the addition of the Networks Plus team is part of our natural progression. We look forward to providing Kansas and beyond with the strength of our combined efforts,” said Brian Thomason, chief executive officer of BVTC.
Earlier this year, BVTC announced plans to open a colocation and data center.
The news release from Blue Valley Tele-Commnications adds overall customer experience has been instrumental in the success of both entities and will remain top priority. Networks Plus will continue to maintain locations in Manhattan, Topeka, and Salina, and each of its employees have been offered continued employment.
