The Karcher Group Acquires Cleveland-based SitesNow
Acquisition expands the company's geographic reach and extends depth of services
NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --The Karcher Group (TKG), a full service Web agency based in North Canton, Ohio, has announced the acquisition of SitesNow, a Web Design, Development and Data Services company located just outside Cleveland.
The acquisition expands TKG's geographic reach and market share in Northeast Ohio while providing greater depth of Data Services for its clients. The move also benefits SitesNow's clients, who now gain access to TKG's full range of services, including Web Design, Web Development, Data Services and perhaps most notably, Web Marketing, which consists of Search Engine Optimization, Social Media, Pay-Per-Click, Content Writing, and more.
"SitesNow and TKG have remarkably similar business philosophies and histories," said Geoff Karcher, President of TKG. "We've both been in business since the 1990s and have a comparable outlook on how our clients can use the web to grow their businesses. It was a natural fit to join forces."
SitesNow was founded in 1996 by Bryan Sears. During the company's 15-year history, Sears and his team built and cultivated one of the area's most cutting edge and reliable data centers and also developed hundreds of website applications. At the core of their business was the protection of business data through the "CIA triad": confidentiality, integrity and availability - an approach that will heartily benefit TKG's clients as well.
In his new role as Director of Data Services, Sears is responsible for overseeing and growing all Data Center operations at TKG.
"TKG's range of services and plans for strategic growth were immensely appealing to SitesNow," said Sears. "Our role is to integrate our technical know-how by improving, expanding and strengthening what TKG has already done a fantastic job building. Pooling our experience will result in increased uptime and superior support."
Also joining TKG is Sears' longtime SitesNow associate Greg Skouby as Network Administrator. Skouby is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) which requires five years of full time security work and passing an extensive exam. He is also a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).
All SitesNow Data Center operations are now centralized at TKG's main office and Data Center in North Canton. Additional information about the acquisition is available on TKG's website.
