The acquisition of NEXL expands and strengthens MTM Technologies’ national footprint, adding a major presence in the Boston area and expanding existing capabilities in other major U.S. markets including New York, San Francisco and Chicago. The acquisition also provides MTM Technologies with significantly expanded technical expertise and delivery capabilities in the areas of managed services and enterprise storage solutions and enhances the Company’s capabilities in the areas of network infrastructure, security, and IP telephony.
Cliff Rucker, NEXL’s founder and CEO, and his senior management team will join MTM Technologies in its Northeast operations. Mr. Rucker will be serving as the Northeast Regional President for MTM Technologies.

“We are very excited to have NEXL join the MTM Technologies team,” said Francis J. Alfano, MTM Technologies’ CEO. “NEXL brings to MTM Technologies a top-flight management team, a blue chip customer base, and a strong presence in the northeast corridor. With the acquisition, we have expanded our capabilities in several important areas and have enhanced our partnerships with a number of key technology providers, including Sun Microsystems and EMC. MTM Technologies is now a Strategic Technology Integrator (National) and Storage Elite Partner of Sun Microsystems, and an Authorized Service Partner and Premier member of the EMC Velocity Partner program.
“The NEXL acquisition was an important step in our strategy to aggressively acquire companies that expand our geographic reach, enhance our core competencies, strengthen our client base, and optimize our ability to deliver shareholder value,” Mr. Alfano continued. “This strategy was put into place early last year, and this acquisition serves as another milestone in its successful execution.”
