About Velocity
Reinventing How Enterprise
Software is Acquired, Hosted and Managed
Successful execution on a good idea is what makes a company great.
That’s Velocity. Established in 2003, the company was founded because Tom Bruno
knew there was a much better way for companies to dramatically improve business
results using enterprise applications. Today, Velocity Technology Solutions,
Inc. is reinventing how enterprise software is acquired, hosted and managed,
giving customers much greater availability, security, and control over their
applications —
and their business.
The path to success has been deliberate. Velocity began with
a laser-focus on being the expert in the applications it supported. Soon after,
the company was tapped by Lawson, an Infor affiliate, as its first and preferred hosting partner for
Lawson applications. Following several years of double-digit growth, Velocity took
another big step toward its vision:
acquiring the Lawson ERP unit of Siemens Medical Systems USA, the Lawson
M3 ERP Enterprise consulting practice from RJ Thompson Data Systems, and the unique web
communication platform developed by Digital Concourse. Private-equity firm,
Tudor Ventures, saw the tremendous value in Velocity’s approach and became an
investor in the company.
In 2010, Velocity further cemented its leadership position in Lawson application hosting with the acquisition of the NetASPx division of
NaviSite. Tudor Ventures, along with Spire Capital, made additional investments
in the company. Then, in 2011, Velocity added the expertise of WTS, a like-minded
and highly-regarded managed application service provider for Oracle JD Edwards
software, to become the dominant market share leader in both Infor Lawson and JD
Edwards application hosting.
Today, Velocity serves hundreds of customers with the great depth
of application expertise on which the organization was founded. The company is strong
and profitable with an eye toward continuing investment in its future –
integrating more software, increasing application transparency, and creating a
highly-flexible application environment that enables our customers to
outperform their peers in the marketplace.
