(Wilkes-Barre) Synergistic Networks, Inc. located in downtown Wilkes-Barre, recently acquired Penn Software and Technology Services, a division of Penn Millers Insurance Company, in a move that creates one of the largest IT consulting firms in Northeast Pennsylvania. Long considered competitors, the purchase allows for greater efficiencies, expanded services and a broader geographic reach. The purchase and integration of clients has been completed with Synergistic Networks, Inc. finalizing the merger of systems earlier this month.

"We are thrilled to add PSTS’s book of business to our organization," noted Christopher O’Brien founder, President and CEO of Synergistic Networks. "They were our largest and most similar competitor and we are very pleased to be able to join forces and continue to grow in the marketplace," he continued.

Synergistic Networks, Inc. was founded in 2003 by O’Brien, taking up residence in the Innovation Center business incubator in downtown Wilkes-Barre. It has grown from a one person start up to a staff of seven with over 100 clients in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The firm offers services that include computer network design and analysis, VPN, WAN, electronic and physical security recommendations, spam, anti-virus and internet management among others. Synergistic Networks is one of the area’s few Microsoft Gold Certified Partners and largest Dell resellers as well as a Barracuda Networks Certified Partner and a Cisco Systems Partner.
