Leading office equipment provider expands technology offerings to include IT and networking services
Cincinnati, OH (March 31, 2017) – Modern Office Methods (MOM), a leader in managed print
services and document strategy throughout southern and central Ohio, announced
the acquisition of Full Service Networking (FSN), a Cincinnati-based managed information
technology company. The acquisition expands MOM’s focus on total document
solutions with complementary capabilities in network performance, data security
and cloud services.
“Full Service Networking has
built a solid reputation on its comprehensive approach to IT solutions, and
we’re excited to integrate this parallel expertise and become a full-service
provider of technology solutions for our customers,” said Kevin McCarthy,
president and CEO of MOM. “MOM got its start as an office equipment reseller nearly
60 years ago and has steadily grown by innovating with changing technology. Our
acquisition of FSN marks a significant milestone in our growth and evolution as
it enables us to address the comprehensive opportunities and threats that
businesses confront as a result of technological advances.”
“With the increasing risk of
security vulnerabilities surrounding office technology, FSN’s technical
know-how is a big advantage for us,” added Steve Bandy, MOM’s senior vice
president. “While MOM will continue to optimize the document outputs of our
clients’ copiers, scanners and printers, the addition of FSN allows us to
present clients with a more holistic approach, addressing all aspects of office
technology.”
FSN will continue to operate
as a separate entity, maintaining its current operations, office locations and
roster of team members while becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of MOM.
Rick Maxwell, FSN’s president,
approached MOM about the possibility of an acquisition that would facilitate
the collective leveraging of industry knowledge, resources and partner
relationships while broadening the value proposition for the businesses’
clients. As a member of the McCarthy family and the former president and a
20-year associate of MOM, Maxwell had it on good authority that the integration
of cultures, expertise and teams would create opportunities all around.
“I’m thrilled to be working
alongside family once again,” Maxwell shared. “We’ve been growing separate, yet
similar, businesses side-by-side for quite some time, and being able to combine
and leverage our knowledge and resources while growing FSN’s geographic
footprint paints a very promising future.”
