One of the most exciting things about bringing products to market at Cribl is seeing customers continually find new ways to leverage them to help solve their data challenges. I recently spoke to a customer who described Cribl as the foundation of their data management strategy and a key part of their post-acquisition data engineering process.

Dell’s recent acquisition of Moogsoft is the most recent validation of the growing market for automated ITOps – also known as AIOps. When legacy companies such as Dell recognize the importance of AIOps it proves the technologies behind automating ITOps are now mainstream and a vital part of every modern IT management stack. We look forward to seeing how Moogsoft’s integration into Dell will play out over the coming years.
That’s great news—your business is growing, and opportunities abound. It also means you will have to align the acquired company’s IT infrastructure with your own. What this looks like will vary depending on the specifics of any given merger. In some cases, where the acquired entity will continue to operate independently, you may simply look for opportunities to optimize and create economies of scale.
When it comes to M&A, for some MSPs it’s just part of their DNA. In this blog we talk to Kevin Cook, CEO of The Purple Guys, about his company’s M&A journey, why standardization is critical during M&A, and some of the key lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Instead of doing multiple acquisitions in a year, these companies and their PE backers are doing a smaller number of very strategic, larger acquisitions.
Today is a special day at Sentry, as today we welcome Syntax to the family. We’ve long been fans of Scott and Wes, of what they’ve built with Syntax, and of their general curiosity, drive, and hustle. As one of Sentry’s earliest partners, it’s been amazing to watch and experience their growth alongside our own. Today we’re going to talk about the next chapter of Syntax, one with increasing ambition, and one we hope you’ll be just as excited about as we are.
