Global IT solutions and procurement provider for enterprise infrastructure
Connection is a public IT solutions and services provider (founded 1982) serving enterprise, mid-market, and government buyers across healthcare, finance, retail, and manufacturing. The tech stack is deeply Microsoft- and Cisco-centric—Office, Teams, 365, Azure, plus Cisco's full suite (Meraki, ISE, Umbrella, unified comms)—reflecting a mature, standards-aligned infrastructure business. Adopting SD-WAN and Kubernetes while migrating away from VMware signals a push toward modern network and container infrastructure; hiring is heavily weighted toward sales (44 roles) relative to engineering (21), typical of a procurement and solutions business, though active projects span custom imaging, ERP implementation, and network deployments, indicating a shift into higher-touch services delivery.
Connection operates as a global IT solutions and procurement platform, matching organizations with technology infrastructure and services. The company serves business, enterprise, and government sectors across verticals including healthcare, education, retail, manufacturing, and finance. Core offerings span digital workplace solutions, modern IT infrastructure, multicloud deployments, and supply-chain lifecycle services, backed by a proprietary procurement network of 500 suppliers across 174 countries. The organization employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and is headquartered in Merrimack, New Hampshire. Active projects reflect a diversification beyond pure procurement into managed services: custom imaging, enterprise network deployments (Cisco Meraki SD-WAN and ISE), ERP system implementation, and device refresh programs.
Connection's primary stack centers on Microsoft (Office, 365, Teams, Azure, Active Directory) and Cisco (Meraki, ISE, Umbrella, Unified Communications, IOS, NX-OS, ASA). Additional platforms include Salesforce, Oracle, JD Edwards, and AWS. The company is adopting SD-WAN and Kubernetes while phasing out VMware.
Active projects include Cisco enterprise network solutions deployment (SD-WAN and ISE integration), ERP system and financial system upgrades, enterprise device refresh initiatives, custom imaging services, partner program development, and new hire onboarding program expansion.
