Walpole’s Tom Wahlquist considers the merger to be simply a matter of evolution. “We already knew Walpole and Integrated Advantage worked well together. We’d been collaborating on Sage MAS 90 implementations and other technology projects for the past several years, so joining forces was a natural progression. Now that we’re one company, we can provide customers unmatched depth of experience implementing accounting software and technology solutions.”
Michael J. Salles of Integrated Advantage appreciates how the acquisition provided an opportunity for both expansion and continuity. “Integrated Advantage and Walpole have worked so well together because we operate under the same values. Both businesses are built around the concept of providing close, personal attention and doing everything necessary to help our customers attain their business goals. Put simply, the focus is always on customer service. That’s a value we shared and one I am certain will remain.”
Walpole has retained the Sage consulting team at Integrated Advantage who will continue to operate out of the Fresno office, providing uninterrupted local support for Sage MAS 90, MAS 200, SageCRM, and JobOps customers. By spinning off the Sage accounting software division, Integrated Advantage will renew its focus on IT and continue to offer a full range of network, internet, and information technology services.For additional info please contact Tom@walpolecpa.com
