BIS Computer Solutions in La Crescenta Acquires ResultWorx Technology Group of Pasadena

LA CRESCENTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BIS Computer Solutions, Inc., a 40-year old global supplier of information technology custom software and computer services, has acquired ResultWorx Technology Group, Inc., a Pasadena technology solutions firm for small to medium sized business in California’s San Gabriel Valley and Orange County.

“Actually, I chose BIS from among other bidders because I’m confident its owners would continue Jim’s commitment to highly personalized customer service, staying on the cutting edge of innovative technology solutions and community involvement”

Price was not disclosed.

ResultWorx was founded in 2010 by the late Jim Locke of Pasadena and quickly achieved a reputation among businesses in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley for selling and customizing IT systems ranging from a basic network to complex multi-location network.

BIS Computer Solutions was selected by Mr. Locke’s wife, Marilyn Cabezas-Locke, to buy ResultWorx. “While they are friendly competitors, both companies share the same vision and values in focusing on the technology needs of entrepreneurial businesses,” she said. “Actually, I chose BIS from among other bidders because I’m confident its owners would continue Jim’s commitment to highly personalized customer service, staying on the cutting edge of innovative technology solutions and community involvement,” Cabezas-Locke added.

Michael Macho, division president for BIS Computer Solutions, Inc., said, “We are honored to be chosen by Marilyn because we feel there is a great synergy between our two companies. We can now offer our customers ResultWorx’s expertise in managed IT services and new disaster recovery tools. ResultWorx can now give its customers BIS’ expertise in customizing hardware and software in specific industries, creating mobile IT strategies, automated disaster recovery, website and graphic design plus technology and business consulting.”

Macho, who is president of Mobile BIS, also said the ResultWorx name “will live on and we welcome all the company’s employees to the BIS family. With this acquisition, ResultWorx clients will notice an increased level of customer support with additional value added services to improve productivity and efficiencies.”

Macho pointed out that Jim Locke was known for his “insightful and objective evaluations of technology trends, new products and applications. He was the customer’s advocate. His monthly blog on the ResultWorx website (www.ResultWorx.com) was well known for examining and demystifying technology issues critical to the businessowner’s success. Jim was proactive—as a writer and speaker–in alerting not only customers but the small business community to IT problems before they occurred.”

“This transaction is an ideal fit,” he continued. “BIS Computer Solutions has long held a very similar philosophy. We keep our own customers constantly updated with market intelligence and our opinions on new IT products that match with our software. We will combine and continue these important services to BIS and ResultWorx customers and to anyone who visits our websites.”

In addition, both companies have been active in Pasadena civic organizations and Macho said the company involvement will also continue. Community service includes Macho’s position on the board of directors of the Boys and Girls Club of Pasadena, corporate memberships in the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, La Crescenta Chamber of Commerce and the Pasadena chapter of BNI, an international business networking organization.

With the acquisition, BIS Computer Solutions becomes an Axcient Data Recovery Partner, a MegaPath Business Communications partner and a member of SMBTN (Small Medium Business Technology Network). The partnerships broaden BIS Computer Solutions' existing partnerships with Oracle, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Nokia, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint PCS.
