CHALLENGE
Netsolus, an award-winning data center and managed services provider (MSP), sought to grow strategically through acquisition. The company needed a strategy to accelerate growth through acquisition, scale quickly and execute a successful exit plan. Netsolus searched for a partner to guide their journey and facilitate a bid process.

Over a five-year period, JFS Partners collaborated with Netsolus to develop a growth strategy that culminated in the acquisition of NeoTech, helping Netsolus attain the necessary scale to position and market itself to potential buyers. JFS Partners then managed a formal bid process, leading to Netsolus’ acquisition by IP Pathways, which expanded IP Pathways’ existing presence in the Kansas City Region.
RESULT
The acquisition marked a significant milestone in Netsolus’ journey, highlighting the importance of advanced planning and trusted partners. JFS Partners’ commitment to client success and long-term collaboration produced a remarkable outcome. JFS Partners created a plan for a clear growth trajectory and eventual exit that prioritized Netsolus’ current customers and employees during the transition and beyond.
