For 25 years Momentum has managed the IT infrastructure for some of the world s largest companies. Momentum possesses SAS70 certification, four Microsoft Gold certifications, three data center locations and over 150 experts, delivering Obsessive Support(TM).

"Pure-play hosting represented only a portion of BroadSpire's overall business but consisted of some very strong customer relationships," said Steve Huot, President of BroadSpire. "We are pleased to have found these customers the ideal home with a strong, focused organization that places an extremely high value on service. We were approached by many firms that were interested in this transaction, but selected Momentum because we felt they could ensure continuity in the quality of service that our customers have come to expect and bridge the gap to serve large and small customers alike," concluded Mr. Huot.

Since its inception in 1997, BroadSpire has offered web hosting as a component of a broader portfolio of services. BroadSpire's success pioneering a service it calls Web ecosystem marketing(TM) hastened the company s desire to divest certain assets that were no longer core.
