Kodiak, AK / Grand Rapids, MI – Koniag is proud to welcome Stratum, a Texas-based cloud services provider, to our family of companies. Stratum will join Koniag’s Commercial IT portfolio as part of Open Systems Technologies (OST).

Stratum’s team has deep technical expertise and certifications in both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft, including advanced specializations such as the Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Services Provider designation.

Koniag Chairman & CEO Ron Unger said, “With deep relationships in the industry, including with Microsoft, Stratum’s capabilities will bring more opportunities and growth to the Koniag family. Stratum is another important acquisition as OST works to accelerate growth, all while increasing the benefits and opportunities for our Shareholders. We are grateful that the Stratum team will be joining us.”

This acquisition means that OST’s clients, and the entire Koniag family of companies, will have access to more cloud services support, experience, and expertise than ever before. The two companies are also fittingly paired as two of the nation’s leading experts in Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare.

“Stratum has been a market leader in cloud integration and managed services for the last six years,” said Stratum CEO and Co-Founder Ryan Trimberger. “Our customers had an appetite for other services that were outside of our core business, and we found OST to be the perfect fit both technically and culturally for our employees and customers. This acquisition with OST is a strategic move to better serve our customers as demand grows for cloud, IoT, healthcare-focused cloud deployments and managed services.”
