FALLS CHURCH, Va., Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Markon Solutions (Markon) announced today that it acquired Armatus Solutions (Armatus) — a small government contracting firm that provides systems engineering, information technology professional services, and related support to the Intelligence Community. The acquisition of Armatus by Markon represents the joining of two like-minded organizations resulting in a powerhouse of the best talent, innovative processes, and integrated professional services in the industry.
Due to the collaborative approach taken by the two companies, this acquisition will be largely transparent to Armatus customers and employees. Customers should expect no noticeable change in personnel, service, or support, as Armatus team members will continue to support their clients' missions under the Markon brand with minimal change to day-to-day operations, and Armatus support commitments will be honored.
This acquisition has many benefits to both Markon and Armatus, but the four main business cases are: adding outstanding new team members to Markon; supporting Markon's growth goals; expanding Markon's work with existing customers and furthering existing partner relationships; and bolstering Markon's growing enterprise IT solution.
Markon President and CEO Matt Dean pledged to take care of Armatus employees and customers, as both companies value employee and customer satisfaction as top priorities. "We are thrilled to welcome the Armatus Solutions personnel onto Team Markon. This outstanding group of new team members will help broaden Markon's subject matter expertise and skill sets. Since 2007, we have worked to cultivate Markon's culture as a great place to work and I am confident we have a lot to offer our new team members," said Dean.
"Armatus Solutions views joining Team Markon as the best next step for our people, enabling us to meet the increasingly complex needs of our customers and employees more quickly and proficiently," stated Armatus' Patrick Cross. "We will benefit greatly from the additional resources Markon brings to the table and are confident that our business objectives will remain aligned."
Markon Vice President Ray Carney noted, "bringing Armatus into the Markon Solutions family catapults Markon forward in our ability to expand upon our excellence. Markon and Armatus have unique, complementary cultures that will allow us to stretch professionally and learn from one another."
Rock Hall Partners LLC was the exclusive sell-side advisor to Armatus. This is Markon's first acquisition after a three-year program to source and evaluate companies of Armatus Solutions' size. Markon also worked with Aronson and Greenberg Traurig as part of the buyer team.
