“Net at Work is one of the region’s most dynamic, full-service VARs, with an especially strong Sage Pro ERP practice,” said Michael Healy, former Apptech President and co-founder. “By integrating Apptech’s domain expertise and business-driven technology consulting, Net at Work will be an even stronger presence across the region, with readily deployable resources. Our customers will receive the same level of support they’ve come to expect, while gaining access to Net at Work’s broader array of network and infrastructure services. Indeed, all organizations across the region stand to benefit, as we can now provide a full complement of affordable, custom-designed solutions under one roof.”
