Evolve IP and ATSG will now be known as XTIUM, following the merger of the two companies, and will be a next-generation MSP focused on delivering strategic partnership experience with AI readiness and premium, high-touch security to enable innovation and growth for organizations across IT, finance, healthcare, and more.
New organization remains focused on complex IT needs
ATSG and Evolve IP merged in November 2024, allowing the organizations to serve 950,000 users across their 1,700 global customers. The merger was also completed to enhance the combined organization’s ability to solve customers’ increasingly interconnected and complex IT challenges.
“Technology has become a critical business driver, and organizations adapting quickly to rising complexity, security risks, and cost pressures are gaining a competitive edge,” said Russ Reeder, president & CEO of XTIUM. “Meanwhile, companies patching together multiple providers, internal teams, and disparate tools that don’t fit their real needs are quickly falling behind with today’s challenges. XTIUM has been created to meet the new demands of a changing IT landscape. By embedding directly with our clients as a trusted partner– offering flexible, high-touch support backed by advanced security and AI-driven operational intelligence, XTIUM is helping organizations stay ahead of risks and opportunities.”
As a combined entity, XTIUM will provide customers and partners with the following:
- AI readiness: Organizations can boost efficiency by utilizing AI-driven analytics, proactive threat detection, and automated workflows. This will optimize infrastructure for smarter and faster operations.
- Premium security (MDR): AI-powered detection, 24/7 monitoring, and expert threat remediation will help customers and partners stay ahead of threats.
- Direct access to experts: Access to engineers and specialists will provide swift and expert-driven problem-solving.
- Proactive IT optimization: Risks are quickly identified and addressed before they become significant problems, improving performance, security, and cost-efficiency.
“We invested in XTIUM because today’s enterprises require more than just an MSP; they need a proactive, security-first partner who can help them scale,” said Rob Manning, partner at RunTide, a private equity firm financially invested in XTIUM. “By integrating AI, security, and high-touch managed services, XTIUM stands apart in an industry filled with one-size-fits-all solutions.”
