EAST HANOVER, NJ January 8, 2019 – SWK Technologies, Inc., announced that it has acquired Partners in Technology (“PIT”), a Sage Software reseller serving over 160 customers primarily in the Chicago area.
Founded in 1999, PIT became a leading provider of business management and IT solutions for SMBs in the Chicago metropolitan area. As Sage 100 consultants they have enabled customers in manufacturing, distribution and professional services to capture the most value from their Sage implementations.
“SWK has had a long-standing relationship with PIT, and we are excited that Merilyn Van Zwieten and her team will be joining the organization in various capacities,” said Mark Meller, CEO of SWK’s parent company, SilverSun Technologies. “The talent, skills and expertise that she brings to SWK will enable us to rapidly expand our Chicago presence, which began with our previous acquisition years ago of Hightower, Inc. With our large and established customer base, plus the energy and experience of Merilyn and her team, we plan on becoming a dominant force in the SMB marketplace in the Midwest.”
“The customer‐focused approach and corporate culture at SWK is almost identical to ours,” said Merilyn Van Zwieten, President of PIT. “The skill set of their team is exceptional, and both companies share the same corporate values.

We’re better together, and clients on both sides will benefit from this transaction.”
