History
The company emerged from the merger on January 23, 2007, between Strategic Technologies, Inc. (STI), based in Cary, North Carolina, and Consonus located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Originally established in 1988 as CAD Systems of the Carolinas, Strategic Technologies specialized in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). The firm later expanded its capabilities to include engineering automation and system infrastructure design. In 1991, after rebranding to Strategic Technologies, it diversified its offerings to cover training programs, document management solutions, system support services, network administration, and business systems integration.
Consonus was created in 1996 by Questar Corporation in Salt Lake City with a focus on managing business data storage and protection. In 2005, private equity firm Knox Lawrence International acquired the company.
