Centre Technologies Acquires Cloud and Managed Services Provider Tradentrix

HOUSTON, TX -  February 1, 2016 - Enterprise technology solutions company Centre Technologies is pleased to announce the acquisition of Houston, TX-based cloud and managed services provider, Tradentrix.

"We are extremely excited to begin 2016 with news of this acquisition," says Chris Pace, founder and CEO of Centre Technologies.  "Tradentrix has developed an outstanding model to deliver cloud technologies and managed IT services to its customers.  Their mission, values and services align perfectly with Centre’s commitment to providing unmatched IT services to the industries we serve.”

Tradentrix has been delivering managed services, virtual desktops, disaster recovery, and enterprise cloud services since early 2008.

Through the acquisition, Centre adds a talented group of hosted and managed services professionals.  Centre plans to retain all of Tradentrix’s current employees, including Mr. Trudeau and current President Randy Trice.

“We’re elated about the additional services we will be able to offer our combined customer base, but we’re absolutely thrilled about bringing Tradentrix’s staff into the Centre family,” says Pace, “We hope they’ll enjoy the additional opportunities available to them and are looking forward to bringing them on board to help drive the continued growth and success of our company.”

As a result of the acquisition, all Tradentrix customers will continue to enjoy their existing levels of cloud services under Centre’s Hosted Services offering as well as 24/7 monitoring, support, and security across their hosted environment, and award-winning project services for customized technology solutions.
