Bluewave Acquires iSymplify, a Missouri-based Cloud and Telecom Consulting Agency

Bluewave Technology Group, a strategic, high-growth technology advisory and lifecycle management company, announced that it has acquired iSymplify, a cloud and telecom advisory agency. This is the sixth acquisition for Bluewave in the past 12 months and marks another expansion milestone for the company as it now has offices in five cities across the US, with nearly 100 employees offering technology lifecycle management services.

Serving the cloud technology industry since 2008, Brad and Lorie Burkemper founded iSymplify with ambitions of helping business clients migrate to the cloud with the best solutions and providers available. Seeing first-hand the difficulties their clients had tracking down inventory, proposals, contract expiration dates, and b****** issues, iSymplify was formed to streamline the account lifecycle when procuring technology.
