Contax is a SAP Gold Partner delivering comprehensive business solutions in the enterprise resource planning systems space. Contax focuses on strategies, designs and implementations, allowing it to diminish many of the problems currently plaguing IT services companies. It gained an interest in Onshore Partners, one of the fastest growing companies in the country, due to the end-to-end technology enabled business solutions it provides. Onshore differentiated itself by creating flexible delivery models, ensuring measurable outcomes, and focusing on customer service. This built long-term loyalty across ERP, CRM, MDM, and payments technologies services. Solganick's IT services industry M&A expertise and deeper understanding of Contax's needs and goals allowed it to minimize transaction risk while helping to acquire the rapidly growing SAP systems integrator.
In looking at the acquisition, Aaron Solganick, Founder and CEO of Solganick & Co, said, "We added significant value through a number of relationships in the space, capitalizing upon our knowledge of the industry, what each company was looking for, and connecting those with aligning goals and interests." Solganick continued, "Onshore Partners had a very complementary client base and product expertise to Contax. Both companies enjoyed stellar reputations in the industry, making the acquisition a natural fit for both parties."
