Trace3, a technology consulting and integration firm based in Irvine, California, announced plans to acquire Calian Group’s commercial IT business in the United States through a carve-out transaction. The deal includes a managed services infrastructure comprising a security operations center, two 24/7 network operations centers, and integration facilities for solution deployment, alongside teams and operations in Texas and Minnesota.
The acquisition is expected to close next month, though financial terms were not disclosed. Both companies maintain partnerships with Cisco, and the combined entity will offer software, hardware, consulting, professional services, and managed services focused on artificial intelligence, cloud, data, and security.
Trace3 CEO Joe Quaglia said the acquisition will "significantly expand our managed services capabilities and operational reach in the U.S., adding facilities, talent, and service infrastructure to help clients strengthen resilience, improve visibility, and accelerate transformation in their environments."
Calian Group CEO Patrick Houston stated the company believes Trace3 is "the right organization to carry forward this success. Together, they will be well-positioned to deliver even greater value to clients through complementary capabilities, expanded expertise, and continuous innovation."
