Closed Deal: Cybersecurity

“We are thrilled to bring Syntervision’s IT and cybersecurity platform along with Transcendent’s flexible suite of IT and cloud-based solutions to the Airiam organization. Airiam is pioneering an approach to enterprise products that scale the IT and cybersecurity needs of SMEs, and we will soon be announcing a unique offering to the SME market,” said Ohad Jehassi, Airiam’s CEO.

Jehassi added, “There is much confusion about the needs of small and mid-sized businesses in the cybersecurity market. These firms are more exposed to risk yet have fewer resources available to manage it. We strive to simplify technology services and pricing models for our customers to ensure they have the right managed IT and best cyber protection. These acquisitions will be instrumental in creating a world-class family of Airiam products and platforms to manage IT and digital transformation that protects and serves our SME customers.”

Airiam boasts an experienced C-suite with deep operational expertise in the MSP and MSSP industries. The team brings a unique combination of operations, sales and marketing, investment, integration and execution to the organization. Having held C-suite positions in private equity-backed companies, Airiam’s leadership team has demonstrated great success growing enterprise values north of 10x.

“We’re excited to bring Syntervision and the Oasis Platform under the Airiam brand. The platform is a fully autonomous, fully cognitive software solution that digitally transforms SMEs’ network service and security operations teams,” said Elliot Luchansky, Airiam’s president and co-founder. “SMEs are faced with ever-increasing demands to keep up with digital transformation. The addition of Syntervision will allow our customers to better automate and scale their enterprise IT Operations. Syntervision’s expertise is exactly what we need to make Airiam even stronger.”

IBEX President, Charles Harvey, served as advisor throughout the acquisition process coordinating buyer/seller communications, counseling Syntervision president, Greg Elmore, coordinating document preparation and assisting in the due diligence activity. IBEX was involved in developing documentation and timelines with the buyer, seller and other deal professionals.

“I cannot overemphasize the value of the experience IBEX brought to the table. I had top attorneys and accountants working with me throughout the process, but no one provided constant mentoring or negotiated on my behalf and helped me understand the process and what I should expect the way IBEX did. They do not replace attorneys and accountants, but their knowledge and experience of financials and business acquisition provided the greatest assistance maneuvering through this process,” said Elmore.
