IT services firm Inacom Corp has acquired the PC hardware and systems engineering division of CTR Business Systems Inc of Portland, Oregon. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Omaha, Nebraska-based Inacom says it has not acquired the business application software division of CTR, with whom it has had a 15-year relationship as an independent value-added reseller. CTR has 110 staff focused on mostly Microsoft client/server technologies. The acquisition comes on the heels of Inacom’s recent merger with Vanstar Corp, which increased its headcount to roughly 12,000 employees. CTR says the deal was a winner for both parties and will allow it to build on its strengths in customizing business software applications.
