The decision for AIS and Xgility to join forces came down to alignment in three areas: mission, culture, and technology focus. “Bringing our teams together helps us build an even stronger community of passionate innovators to serve our customers and provide growth opportunities for our people,” says Larry Katzman, President and CEO of AIS. “AIS has experienced substantial growth over the last five years, guided by our mission to be the premier Microsoft Azure cloud services partner for federal and commercial enterprises. Having known Chris for over a decade and seeing the organization he’s built, I am excited for our teams to come together. I am confident our collective capabilities will continue to scale with the needs of our customers and the ever-evolving offerings of the Microsoft cloud marketplace.”
“We didn’t set out to sell Xgility, but after meeting with Larry, his team and their venture capital backers at Blue Delta, the opportunities created by joining AIS became very clear. This acquisition accelerates and multiplies our combined ability to achieve transformational results for our client’s businesses and our teammates’ careers,” said Chris Hornbecker, President and CEO of Xgility.
