This is the second purchase of a VAR by Open Systems in the last two years. It acquired Salado, Texas-based TBC International in January 2010. Both companies were among the top channel members, although I don't know how big that channel is. Open Systems has erupted with a press release every few months - the last was issued in September. Its leadership has not responded to my attempts to talk over the last couple of years. But the company keeps plugging along.
OPEN SYSTEMS BUYS VAR
Open Systems has acquired reseller InterMicro and is using the former VAR's operations to move into offices in Greenville, S.C., and Edmond, Okla. Founded in 1993, InterMicro was headed by president Jim Robinson, who joins Open Systems as an executive sales consultant.
