Inc., a leading IT service and support company, serving
hundreds of small and medium sized business customers

latest of many steps to further position iVenture as
the local and regional leader in business IT services.
Mark Schnitzius, iVenture's President, said "This acquisition allows iVenture to grow in a very healthy technology marketplace and expand our offerings. Chris and the Biziteks staff have built a solid reputation and client base of over 150 businesses using many of the same principles iVenture has instituted in Jacksonville and Atlanta. I am very excited about the opportunity this acquisition presents to our combined organizations."

About iVenture Solutions:
iVenture Solutions, Inc. was founded in 2000 by two Jacksonville natives who attended the University of Florida together. Following college graduation, they worked in the technology departments of different Fortune 500 companies. After several years, they decided to start a company offering a more professional large company IT experience to the local small and medium sized business community. iVenture's current customer base is located in Northeast Florida and the Greater Atlanta Metro Area. Customers range from 5 to over 500 employees in the healthcare, financial, manufacturing, retail and legal fields as well as many others. iVenture offers a wide range of IT services ranging from network design and implementation projects to full support engagements (managed services). Managed services include complete IT services for small to mid-sized customers at a fixed price, which include server, workstation and network monitoring, management, end-user support and disaster recovery.
This year iVenture was recognized locally by the Jacksonville Business Journal as one of the top 25 best places to work, as well as one of the 50 fastest growing privately held companies in Northeast Florida. Nationally, iVenture was recognized by CRN Magazine as number 41 out of the top 100 technology firms in the country, and recognized by INC Magazine as one of the country's top 5000 fastest growing companies.
About Biziteks:
Biziteks was founded in 2001 in response to a clear void in the market for an experienced, professional quality IT Solutions Provider to meet the needs of small businesses. Founding partner Chris Adragna observed that such businesses are commonly served by sketchy, inexperienced "trunk slammers" and geek squads who lack the professional skills to understand and identify the unique challenges facing businesses in today's information economy. Increasing sophistication of technology means that business owners require the level of technical expertise once demanded only of Fortune 500 companies. Biziteks understands this. Biziteks is a company of experienced professionals who focus exclusively on businesses, providing responsive and trustworthy service on a full range of technology needs.
