Building the Dream Team on Purpose : Why TMC Acquired The TM Group and What We Are Building Next Together

When people hear the word acquisition, they often picture org charts, system migrations, and a lot of noise.

That reaction makes sense. Too often, acquisitions are framed as something done to a company rather than something built with its people and in service of its clients.

That is not what this is.

Technology Management Concepts (TMC) is acquiring The TM Group (TMG) because we see a clear opportunity to build something the Microsoft ecosystem needs right now. We are building a next generation partner model designed for the moment we are in, where business applications, data, automation, and AI are converging quickly and where clients need more than implementation.

They need a partner that delivers outcomes with accountability, continuity, and care.

The goal is not scale for its own sake.
The goal is progress, built intentionally.

Better for clients.
Better for the people doing the work.
Better for the long term.

And we are proud of what we are building together.

Why We Are Coming Together Now

The Microsoft ecosystem is evolving quickly. ERP and CRM are no longer standalone systems. Power Platform is central to how work gets done. Data shapes every decision. AI is already changing expectations.

Clients feel this shift every day. They are being asked to modernize while keeping core operations stable. They need faster value, clearer governance, and partners who can connect business priorities to technical execution without losing the human element.

As Microsoft’s platform becomes more connected across ERP, CRM, Power Platform, data, and AI, the responsibility placed on partners is changing. Supporting this ecosystem well requires more than point solutions or isolated expertise. It requires partners who can integrate capabilities, govern responsibly, and guide customers through change without creating fragmentation or risk.

This moment requires a different kind of partner.

By coming together, TMC and TMG are building a model that can:

• Deliver depth across business applications, data, automation, and AI
• Bring stronger governance with clarity, accountability, and delivery discipline
• Stay close to the work while thinking long term
• Support mission critical systems while helping organizations prepare for what comes next

This is not an abstract vision. It is a direct response to what clients are asking for and what modern delivery demands.

What We Deliver Together

At its core, our work is about helping organizations modernize the systems that run their business and making sure those systems work in the real world.

Across TMC and TMG, that includes:

• ERP and CRM delivery across the Microsoft ecosystem, from implementation through optimization and long term support
• Power Platform solutions that drive real adoption through apps, automation, and workflow improvement
• Data foundations and reporting leaders can trust for decision making and scale
• AI ready modernization built on secure, governed platforms
• Delivery governance that keeps projects steady, accountable, and outcomes driven

Our role does not end at go live. We stay engaged to ensure systems are adopted, supported, and delivering value over time.

Intentional Growth Has Always Been the Point

At TMC, growth has never been a volume game. It has always been a design decision.

We are building a company meant to last. That requires structure, discipline, and clarity. It means choosing opportunities that strengthen the team rather than dilute it. It means building repeatable delivery quality and investing in people who want to grow with the organization.

That is the lens through which we approached this acquisition.

We grow with a standard that guides every decision:

• Structure before scale
• Alignment before expansion
• People before everything else

That standard shaped how we evaluated this opportunity and how we are bringing our teams together.

What We See in TMG

TMG has been built on relationships, accountability, and a practical commitment to helping clients move forward. Their mission of empowering organizations and people with technology shows up in how they work every day.

What stands out most is alignment.

We see it in how TMG talks about clients as long term partners.
We see it in how their leaders define success through adoption and outcomes.
We see it in how their team shows up with ownership, care, and pride in the work.

This acquisition works because the fit goes beyond capability.
It is rooted in shared values and shared responsibility.

Large Enough to Deliver Expertise, Small Enough to Stay Human

Clients are tired of tradeoffs.

They do not want to choose between a large firm that feels distant and a small firm that cannot always scale with complexity. They want a partner that brings real depth and resilience while remaining responsive, connected, and accountable.

That is the model we are building together.

We are creating a firm that brings:

• The depth, governance, and coverage complex environments require
• The closeness, responsiveness, and accountability clients value

This is not a tagline. It is a standard that directly shapes client experience, delivery quality, and trust.

What This Combination Makes Possible

Numbers are not the story, but they help illustrate what this combination enables.

Together, TMC and TMG now bring:

• More than 90 employees
• More than 600 customers served
• A footprint across 23 U.S. states and 4 Canadian provinces
• Expanded ability to support ERP, CRM, Power Platform, data, and AI with stronger delivery governance and continuity

What this enables is simple.
More depth. More resilience. More coverage.
All while staying close to the work.

Integration With People at the Center

An acquisition only succeeds if it works in practice inside teams, projects, and client relationships.

That is why we are approaching integration as a leadership responsibility rather than a back office exercise. Leaders across delivery, operations, and customer facing teams have been involved early to ensure the integration supports how people work, how decisions are made, and how careers grow.

We are aligning early on:

• How decisions are made
• How standards are enforced
• How knowledge is shared
• How leadership shows up
• How teams and careers develop

Systems and processes matter. Culture determines whether they work in practice.

The People Building What Comes Next

Up to this point, we’ve shared why this integration matters and how it was approached.

What matters just as much is how it feels to the people doing the work.

The voices below reflect what this next chapter means to the teams at TMC and TMG as they begin building it together.

From the TMC team

“As the Microsoft platform evolves, delivery teams need clarity, support, and shared standards to do their best work. This integration strengthens teams instead of stretching them, which ultimately leads to more consistent outcomes for clients.” 

 Carrie Gabris | VP of Consulting

“When I was a client, I saw firsthand how hard it is to find partners who stay accountable as systems grow more connected. This integration is intentional because it builds a model where people, governance, and platform expertise scale together, something the Microsoft ecosystem increasingly depends on.”

John Buccola | CTO/CGO

“For us, scale only works if it strengthens delivery. Bringing TMC and TMG together was about reinforcing how work gets done, how teams are supported, and how clients experience continuity as complexity increases across the Microsoft stack.”

 Eron Carlucci | COO

From the TMG team

“Our clients will continue working with the people they trust, with the added benefit of broader depth and stronger support. This integration was designed to protect relationships while allowing TMG’s customer to access a broader offering to cover the rest of the Microsoft stack, not just Dynamics.”

 Kevin Brunton | VP of Business Development

What Clients Experience as a Result

For clients, this should feel like progress, not disruption.

The goal is for clients to feel more supported, more covered, and more confident while keeping the relationships and continuity they rely on.

Clients can expect:

• Continuity in relationships and delivery teams
• Broader expertise without losing familiarity with their business
• Stronger delivery governance with clearer accountability
• A partner built to support both today’s systems and tomorrow’s expectations

This is what intentional growth looks like in practice.

What This Means for Our Teams and Future Teammates

Great delivery comes from great teams. Great teams are built through opportunity, mentorship, and pride in the mission.

This acquisition expands those opportunities.

It creates more pathways for deeper specialization, broader project experience, leadership development, and collaboration across expert teams. It allows people to grow their careers without sacrificing culture or purpose.

We want people to feel proud of the work they do and confident in where this company is going.

Building the Microsoft Partner of the Future Together

The partner role is changing. Clients need partners who can connect business applications, data, automation, governance, and AI into a coherent and adoptable reality while remaining accountable to the systems that run the business.

That is exactly what we are building.

Not by becoming something unrecognizable, but by becoming more of what clients and teams already trust.

Accountable.
Capable.
Engaged.
Human.

TMC is acquiring TMG to build the Microsoft Partner of the Future with intention.

And we are excited about what comes next.

What Comes Next

This is a step forward and a commitment.

A commitment to clients that delivery remains steady, outcomes driven, and supported with greater depth.
A commitment to our people that growth creates opportunity and protects what makes this a place worth building a career.
A commitment to the Microsoft ecosystem that partners can scale without losing integrity, closeness, or quality.

We are building something designed to last and designed to deliver.

And if you are a client, a partner, or someone who believes this work should be done thoughtfully and well, we would love to build the next chapter with you.
