Acquisition to accelerate both companies’ growth, advancing technology and market positions in the US and abroad.

Austin, Texas – February 22, 2022 – Acumera, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for network operation, visualization, and security services, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Reliant, a leading provider of edge computing solutions for retail, hospitality, health care and convenience store enterprises.

Reliant’s edge computing platform is deployed by leading global brands to support innovative, future-forward customer experiences from walk-in / walk-out shopping to contactless payments, AI-driven restaurant kitchens, and more.

Reliant Platform converges new and legacy systems into an integrated, scalable solution that provides reliability and resiliency for key workloads.

Bill Morrow, CEO of Acumera, said, “Reliant represents an opportunity to invest in and leverage a strong, growing edge computing platform, as we continue to expand our technology/services offerings and product portfolio. Reliant’s edge computing solutions are a perfect complement to our network operation, visualization and security services. We look forward to partnering with Reliant’s impressive team and leveraging their integrated and scalable solution that converges new and legacy systems.”

“We are absolutely thrilled to be part of the Acumera team,” said Richard Newman cofounder and CTO of Reliant. “The combination of our two businesses makes Acumera the clear leader in edge computing in retail and hospitality, and will enable us to bring the benefits of Reliant Platform to new markets and verticals and continue to drive innovation with our existing clients.”

The transaction was completed with a strategic growth investment from an affiliate of Peak Rock Capital (“Peak Rock”), a leading middle-market private investment firm.
