Acumen I.T., a Greenville-based technology firm, acquired Access Computer Technology (ACT). ACT has been a Microsoft Partner since 1994, specializing in SharePoint consulting, Microsoft Office application training and .NET and SQL development of custom software applications.

A majority of the employees of Access Computer Technology (ACT) will now be working as part of the Acumen I.T. team. "This is a great move on both of our parts", says Larry Nordlinger, CEO and President of ACT. "Becoming a part of Acumen I.T. allows us to concentrate on doing what we do best, which is servicing our clients. Acumen has the expertise and resources, offering many more products and services that we did not offer."

ACT brings to the table a number of new clients to Acumen. ACT successfully completed several web-based development projects for major international corporations such as Volvo Construction Equipment and for state government departments such as the North Carolina Department of Correction and for small to medium sized businesses and non-profits.

Using solutions that include synchronizing to and from mainframe data in remote locations, building data repositories, or bridging data communications from one software application to another, ACT developed sophisticated solutions for government agencies spanning from law enforcement to tax collection; industrial organizations ranging from heavy equipment to electron microscopic manufacturers and non-profit organizations including churches and employers’ associations. With the Microsoft Windows Mobile developer platform and tools, ACT has expertise in building innovative applications and solutions for Windows Mobile powered devices. Windows Mobile extends the familiarity of the Windows desktop to Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC and Smartphone devices thus pushing corporate data out to your users in situations where a desktop or laptop solution is not feasible.

According to David Pence, President and CEO of Acumen I.T., "Acquiring Access Computer Technology has happened at the right place and at the right time. Their expertise in training, project management, consulting and custom software development is a real plus for Acumen, allowing us to expand our customer base and offer additional resources to our customers. We are excited to have them now as a part of Acumen."
