Acquisition of Kestrel Consulting Makes GTRI a Leading Resource for Enterprise Service Management
November 17, 2009 – Global Technology Resources Inc. (GTRI), a leading provider of technology consulting services, announced today the launch of its new Enterprise Service Management (ESM) unit to provide clients with consulting and development services for IT management platforms, such as the IBM Tivoli Suite, HP OpenView and more.
The new unit comes on the heels of GTRI’s recent acquisition of Kestrel Consulting, a Portland-based firm with clients across government and commercial industries in Europe, Asia and North and South America. Monty LeBlanc, the founder of Kestrel Consulting and an internationally recognized expert in business and information systems management, will head the new GTRI unit.
“The need for Enterprise Service and Systems Management has never been stronger,” says LeBlanc. “By integrating our proven ability to engineer these complex solutions with GTRI’s extensive business offerings, we are now able to provide a more complete portfolio of solutions to a much broader client base.”
Kestrel Consulting brings over 80 years of aggregate experience and expertise in ESM to GTRI, with additional expertise in IT security and information assurance systems design and engineering.
“We are very excited to have Kestrel Consulting join our team and help us further expand our growing portfolio of professional services,” says Monte Sjobakken, GTRI’s vice president of sales. “Their unique expertise is a real competitive advantage for GTRI and will give us even more leverage in the marketplace.”
GTRI was recognized this year as one of the fastest growing solution providers in the IT industry by Everything Channel, and as one of Denver’s fastest growing private companies by the Denver Business Journal. The company adds ESM to an already diverse portfolio of service offerings, which include unified communications, wireless, data center computing, security, IPv6, structured cabling, managed service and staff augmentation.
