Eagle Communications continues its track record of growth with the acquisition of Hays-based SICOIR, a residential and business technology support company.
The move will create a new service team within Eagle’s growing broadband footprint — Eagle Managed Services.
Eagle Broadband General Manager Travis Kohlrus said, “The goal of the acquisition is to strengthen the Eagle Communications residential and business support offerings. By adding nine IT experts and a host of new technology tools and solutions, Eagle now will be able to better manage and support home and business needs with one call.”
The new employees will include expertise in network configuration, security, cloud services, web design, support and troubleshooting and repair of business hardware and software. Eagle’s residential support offerings will also be expanding to include computer repair, remote desktop support, email support, data recovery and spyware and virus removal.
Kohlrus continued, “This addition to our company is an important piece to better serve our customers and to exceed their needs when it comes to technology support. It allows Eagle to be a single stop for all of their home and business needs. One call, with customizable solutions that be can scaled up or down based on need or budget, with the same great service that customers expect. Throughout the years, Eagle has an excellent history of partnering with SICOIR on different projects. It is a local company built from the same values as Eagle, and it is exciting to welcome nine new Employee-Owners to the team.”
“Just like the SICOIR name implies, ‘Simple Ideas Can Often Initiate Revolutions,’ Eagle’s merger with SICOIR will continue to revolutionize the customer experience into the future and allow us to offer more products and services and reach customers in more locations,” said Dallas Haselhorst, SICOIR co-owner. Eagle’s new Managed Services team will remain located at SICOIR’s current location, 1503 E. 27th, Hays. Eagle Managed Services will continue to support its current businesses and home users in Hays, the surrounding communities, and everywhere Eagle provides service.
“At Eagle, we are proud to be one of the fastest growing employee-owned companies and we are excited to keep our communities connected with innovative technology.” said Gary Shorman, President and CEO of Eagle Communications. “The addition of new residential and business support products is just one more way we continue to serve our customers better — with local support, and people that are part of your community.”
