“Technology transformation is complex and requires experts across the technology stack—in integrations, telecom, mobile, cloud, and expense management. By joining Bluewave, we now have a deeper bench of specialized resources that will enable us to work with our clients to optimize their technology investments continuously”
Telapprise, founded by Davin Lundy and Marko Spremo in 2002, serves over 500 medium-to-large enterprise businesses with several offerings, including solution development, sourcing services, and technology expense management. Like other firms of similar size, Telapprise was challenged to scale its business as an independent company. After exploring options, it selected Bluewave for its commitment to being a steward of Telapprise’s business and its shared vision to streamline the technology transformation process for enterprise customers.
“Our goal is to build an innovative, intelligent, and simplified strategy that will reshape how companies manage services and technology,” said Seth Penland, CEO of Bluewave. “We are only investing in companies with a focus on optimizing customer experience through integrated solutions and Telapprise is the perfect example of that. The expertise that the Telapprise team brings to Bluewave will be especially invaluable in our technology assessment and technology expense management practice areas.”
