CompTIA

CompTIA announced the acquisition of TechAmerica, a leading voice of large businesses in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry.

With our acquisition of TechAmerica, we are creating a single platform to represent mutual interests, provide enhanced member services, and support the full ecosystem, a $3.6-trillion sector driving innovation, connectivity and efficiency for businesses, governments and consumers around the world. Connecting the continuum of companies, from small IT service provider to software to hardware to communications and distribution, allows CompTIA to tell a complete technology story to business, public sector and policy partners.

Putting the interests of the technology sector under one umbrella strengthens the industry’s voice, reach and influence at a critical time. Bottom line, this means we will better serve our member companies. Members of CompTIA and TechAmerica now have access to complementary strengths, where a single voice with a 360-degree view of the technology sector can represent them from the state house to the White House and overseas, from the commercial to the public sector and all along the business continuum.

By pooling resources, we will be able to expand our public sector, business networking, events and intelligence programs for all our members and continue to offer “best in class” education, research and industry certifications for our industry. CompTIA’s public policy on behalf of the technology sector remains member-driven, and we will continue to pursue current priorities, particularly along four main themes: accelerating the innovation cycle; building a 21st century workforce; maintaining secure, open access to the Internet; and ensuring state and federal governments are technologically equipped to address future challenges.
