TelePacific to Buy DSCI, Make a Move On the East Coast

A little less than five years after first expanding beyond the west coast and into Texas with theTelwest purchase, TelePacific has made an even bigger inorganic move.  Today they announced an agreement to acquire DSCI, a managed services and cloud communications provider based in Waltham, Massachusetts.

DSCI started out reselling services as a CLEC back in 2001, but quickly refocused its efforts onto its own network in 2004 and then hosted PBX and other business services starting in 2005, and most recently into the realm of Unified Communications.  They serve about 1,500 businesses, with a national footprint but mostly focused in their original home turf in New England and New York.

TelePacific gets two big benefits out of this deal.  First is a quick expansion of the company's product portfolio.  While TelePacific offers some of these services (such as hosted PBX) in its current territories, they are via partners rather than with their own platform.  They will surely be taking the DSCI platform and making it available to their existing customer base, hopefully generating some nice revenue synergies.
