New York, NY – MidOcean Partners (“MidOcean”), a premier middle market private equity firm, is pleased to announce that on December 29, 2015 System One, a leading provider of specialized workforce solutions and integrated services, acquired ALTA IT Services (“ALTA”), an IT staffing company based in Rockville, MD. Specializing in IT staffing and consulting for government agencies and commercial clients, ALTA has emerged as an industry leader over the last two decades. ALTA becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of System One Holdings, LLC, and the company will operate in alignment with System One’s IT division.

With this acquisition, System One expands its capacity to help clients transform their technology environments through software and applications development, systems integration, project management, infrastructure and data management, and more. Together, the companies will focus on sourcing and screening talent for legacy systems and emerging technologies to support critical IT projects and core business functions.

ALTA holds a Top Secret Facility clearance and has a strong track record of delivering IT talent that meets the strict compliance and performance standards associated with Federal contracts.  The company works with the largest federal government contractors as well as a long list of small businesses and commercial enterprises.

“Our firms’ combined service portfolio bridges the gap between business operations and IT expertise, offering our clients a proven path to efficient design and deployment of technology,” said Troy Gregory, President and CEO of System One. “We are excited to invest in the growth of this exceptional team and expand our reach in IT and government services.  We look forward to bringing ALTA’s deep subject matter expertise and significant experience in IT to all of System’s One clients.”
