United States: Summit acquires managed services provider Deft

US cloud hosting firm Summit has acquired managed services provider Deft. Deft co-founders and principals Jordan Lowe, Daniel Brosk, and Eric Dynowski will join the Summit leadership team and retain a “significant ownership stake” in the business. Other terms of this deal have not been shared. 

“Together, Summit and Deft share a unified vision for the future of IT services — a future where innovation, security, and customer-centric solutions lead the way,” said Summit CEO Warren Patterson. “This is more than an acquisition; it’s a fusion of strengths.”

Wade Glisson, partner of Silver Oak, added, “We are excited to partner with the leadership of Summit and Deft and support the combination of two highly talented teams. The combined business will leverage best practices from each to create a differentiated platform well-positioned for accelerated growth.”

Deft Lowe also said, “There's no hidden agenda to change how Deft operates. That hands-on approach our customers know and love now just has more hands.”
