ePlus Acquires IDS

ePlus inc. announced that its subsidiary, ePlus Technology, Inc., acquired operating assets of Integrated Storage, LLC (IDS), founded in 2002. 

Headquartered in Oak Brook, IL and with offices in downtown Chicago, IL, and Indianapolis, IN, IDS is a data center solutions provider focused on cloud enablement and managed services, including its proprietary IDS Cloud, which features enterprise technology infrastructure coupled with consulting services to support private, hybrid, and public cloud deployments.

The acquisition expands ePlus’ footprint in the Midwest and enhances its sales and engineering capabilities in cloud services, DR and backup as a service, storage, data center, and professional services.

“Adding the talented IDS team to ePlus is a strong complement to our existing cloud, security, and digital infrastructure offerings,” stated Mark P. Marron, CEO, ePlus. “The acquisition further solidifies our presence in the Midwest and strengthens our ability to create customized roadmaps, and then design, implement, service, and support our customers’ migration to and from public, private, or hybrid cloud environments. We look forward to continuing to help organizations deploy the most effective cloud strategy, optimize resources, and gain greater operational predictability, security, and flexibility-to thrive in today’s digital economy.”

“IDS has a reputation of leveraging technology to create business value for our customers, which pairs perfectly with ePlus’ mission of making technology mean more,” said Matt Massick, CEO, IDS.  “There are many synergies between the two companies, including a customer-focused approach, proven services methodology, technical focus, and culture of accountability. When combined, we will deliver exponential benefits to our customers through transformational technology solutions that guide their success and growth.”

The acquisition of IDS closed on September 15, 2017.
