The 20 MSP Expands by Acquiring Sundance Networks
In a strategic move to bolster its services and expand its market reach, The 20 MSP has announced its 49th acquisition, bringing Sundance Networks into the fold. This acquisition, as disclosed by the Plano, Texas-based managed IT services provider on July 7, 2026, marks a significant expansion into new regional markets, including New Mexico, Philadelphia, and New York.
Sundance Networks, established in 2003, has carved out a niche as a trusted managed service provider in its respective regions by delivering proactive support, advanced cybersecurity measures, and expert AI consulting to its clientele. Over the past year, the company has worked closely within The 20's peer network to refine its operations and scale its offerings effectively. A notable highlight of Sundance’s recent accomplishments includes winning the AI Excellence Award at the MSP SUMMIT, reflecting the company's dedication to integrating artificial intelligence solutions that align with clients’ budgets, IT environments, and compliance requirements.
Tim Conkle, the founder and CEO of The 20 MSP, expressed enthusiasm regarding the acquisition. He emphasized that it represents a vital step in their broader ambition to develop AI services that provide substantial and quantifiable value to their clients. “Witnessing Ryan’s leadership style through his engagement in our peer groups was inspiring,” said Conkle. “We are eager to see the innovative heights he and his team can reach with enhanced resources and support.”
Post-acquisition, key personnel from Sundance Networks, particularly those with deep expertise in AI and automation, will continue to play instrumental roles in the organization. Conkle highlighted the technical prowess that Sundance brings to The 20 MSP, alongside their commitment to customer success. “Sundance’s focus on client outcomes matches our mission, and we are excited about the collaborative potential this brings,” Conkle added.
Looking forward, The 20 MSP is set to maintain its strategy of sourcing acquisition candidates through peer group recommendations. Conkle pointed out the importance of pre-alignment, advocating for a unified vision and standardized operational procedures as the cornerstone of their growth strategy. “This cohesive approach serves as our engine for expansion,” he noted.
Financing for the acquisition was facilitated by Pinecrest Capital Partners, who acted as the exclusive financial advisor to The 20 MSP throughout this deal.
