The combined operation will reinforce Blytheco’s mission to help their customers attain their business goals, by turning quality products and services into effective business solutions. This acquisition continues the Blytheco strategy of providing industry specific solutions and allows Blytheco to service a broader range of vertical markets.
“Blytheco and Long & Associates have collaborated, for the benefit of our joint clients, for many years. We are excited to welcome John, Debbie and their team to the Blytheco family. Integrating both the Long & Associates team and a base of over 450 clients into Blytheco will allow their valued clients to remain in the Sage Software family of products and insure no interruption to their business operations,” stated Stephen P. Blythe, President of Blytheco. “We look forward to providing our combined client base with a competitive edge in the marketplace, greater resources, continued excellent customer service and proven comprehensive business solutions.”
