Axispoint

Company acquired: T2 Computing/Tekserve

Head count: 75 employees;

Annual revenue: undisclosed

Purchase price: undisclosed

Date of announcement: Jan. 11

Axispoint has purchased the business solutions arm of T2 Computing, a deal that included the rights to the Tekserve Apple reseller brand, supercharging Axispoint’s hardware and engineering capabilities.

T2, No. 193 on the CRN Solution Provider 500, closed its famous New York City retail location in August due to rising rents, the declining demand Apple device repairs and the increasing volume of Apple's own stores. Now, Tekserve's 75-person T2 operation, which was spun off as its own unit in 2014, will begin its next chapter as part of Axispoint, delivering a more well-rounded IT experience to SMB media and entertainment firms.

Following the acquisition, both Axispoint and T2 will be maintained as separate brands until July 2017 at least, DiSano said, with the T2 team working from its current base of operations in Manhattan.
