About Pivot

Pivot was incorporated under the OBCA on September 8, 2010. The head and registered office of Pivot is located in Toronto, Ontario.

Pivot was founded by John Sculley, Shane Maine and Gord McMillan, with the strategy of creating the leading North American IT Multi Vendor Solutions Provider ("MVSP").

Together with its subsidiaries, Pivot's mission is to identify, acquire and integrate companies in the IT solutions sector. The business strategy emphasizes offering-agnostic, multi-vendor sourcing and implementation solutions of its acquired companies to support, plan and provide for the IT needs of customers through independent and innovative solutions. These Pivot solutions are predominantly focused on the following technology verticals: data centre, storage and virtualization.

To date, Pivot has acquired four businesses in the United States in the MVSP space with a goal to create immediate sales capabilities and geographic presence. Pivot first acquired a substantial portion of the assets and business of California based Applied Computer Solutions in December 2010, which specializes network integration and data centre capabilities. Pivot then acquired Georgia headquartered New ProSys Corp. in January 2011, extending its IT infrastructure, and certain assets involved in the analysis, planning, design, procurement, installation and consultation business of Austin Ribbon and Computer Supplies, Inc. in August 2011, which helped to diversify Pivot's client mix and expand into the government and education sector. Most recently, Pivot acquired the business of San Antonio based Sigma Technology Solutions, Inc. in July 2012, which increased data centre capabilities and expanded the company's footprint.

Pivot has grown to become one of the largest independent MVSPs in North America. Pivot's competitive business model, blue chip client base, and broad service offering positions the company well to capitalize on numerous growth opportunities and further enhance its profitability.
