What NexusTek does

NexusTek is a national managed IT services provider headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, founded in 1996. The company serves more than 1,200 mid-market and enterprise clients across 48 US states and Canada through a portfolio that spans managed IT, cloud, cybersecurity, data and AI, and IT consulting/advisory services. Its core technology is the NexusOps platform, an AI-driven orchestration layer that integrates advisory, professional, strategic, and managed services delivery, with NexusIQ providing the analytics and intelligence component. Vertical specialization is a defining characteristic, with dedicated practices or sub-brands for hospitality (ESP), life sciences, manufacturing, energy and utilities, construction, and horticulture, and validated compliance expertise across CMMC 2.0, NERC CIP, HIPAA, GxP, and NIST frameworks.

The business model is anchored on recurring managed services revenue billed monthly or annually, supplemented by project-based professional services engagements (migrations, compliance readiness, implementations) and strategic advisory through vCIO/vCISO arrangements. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with inside sales for mid-market opportunities, cloud marketplace listings on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and an ecosystem of 100+ strategic technology partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, Google, Nutanix, Dell, Cisco, HP Enterprise, and security vendors. NexusTek is privately held and backed by private equity firms Abry Partners and A&M Capital Strategic Investments, which supported the 2023 acquisition of ICCS to establish Northeast US presence. The company has executed at least eleven acquisitions since 2016, pursued active vertical and product expansion (most recently AI Email Security, Nutanix-powered Private Cloud, and dedicated Energy and Utilities, Construction, and Horticulture practices in 2025-2026), and earned ten consecutive years on the CRN MSP 500 Elite 150 plus the 2025 CRN Triple Crown Award.
