Two Trusted Bay Area IT Service Providers Become One, Forming a Super-Regional Company with National Reach

Uptime USA, the high-quality managed IT and Cloud service provider for small to mid-size organizations since 1990, announced its merger with 415 IT, founded in 2005, providing IT Support such as technical helpdesk support, computer support and consulting to small and medium-sized businesses. 415 IT capabilities complement Uptime's focus as a "super regional" provider with a national reach.

"In some ways, this is a merger of equals," explains IT industry veteran Keenan Phelan, CEO of Uptime who will remain CEO of the merged company. Both companies have long ago removed sales roles from their staffs, recognizing that customers are best served when they can deal directly with knowledgeable technology professionals.

The combined organization will operate under the Uptime name generally but retain the 415 IT brand for the foreseeable future. "We like to say that what we really provide is peace of mind, maximizing our clients' use of their information technology to achieve their mission—our mission is to provide world-class support resulting in maximum uptime for our clients," said Phelan.
