Two long standing IT firms based out of Tampa have recently completed a merger. Dart Tech and LNS Solutions are now operating under the Dart Tech brand.

“LNS and Dart Tech have always shared a deep respect for each other and the common goal of our clients’ success,” says John Lorelle, former owner of LNS Solutions and now CEO of the new Dart in a statement. “By blending our resources and skills, we are building a stronger, more innovative organization that will set new standards for excellence and help clients thrive in an increasingly connected world.”

Dart Tech was founded in 1982 and specializes in cybersecurity, data storage and backup, and cloud migration with an emphasis on serving local businesses. LNS Solutions, founded in 1993, operated with a similar focus.

Now with the staff combined to just over 350 employees, Dart Tech’s aim is to scale operations and provide more focused and responsive services according to a statement.
