ROYAL OAK – Online Tech CEO Yan Ness announces his company’s acquisition of Echo Cloud, a Kansas City, Mo., enterprise cloud company. The acquisition is set to boost Online Tech’s reach in the Midwest market and provide further geographical diversity to its growing cloud infrastructure.

Ness said the acquisition provides several benefits for his company, including an expanded product line and geographic reach to the Kansas City and Missouri markets.

Additional benefits include adding two Kansas City data centers and extra cloud infrastructure to Online Tech’s existing data centers across Michigan and Indiana.

The companies will combine their existing services into Online Tech’s client portal to allow for easy account viewing and service management. Echo Cloud will also provide new services from Online Tech to its existing clients that are compliant with standards such as PCI and HIPAA.

With the transaction, Online Tech now has three major markets: Missouri, Indiana and Michigan, with seven data centers spread between the three states.
