Leading global MSP/MSSP closes fifth acquisition of 2025 marks expansion into Central US

Thrive, a global provider of technology outsourcing in cybersecurity, cloud, and IT managed services, acquired Worksighted, an IT company based in Michigan that specializes in personalized IT support and training. This acquisition, announced recently, strengthens Thrive's position in the Midwest and marks the company's fifth acquisition of 2025.

With over 20 years of service as a Managed Services Provider (MSP), Worksighted offers customized solutions designed to enhance IT infrastructure for businesses. The company emphasizes a people-centric approach to technology, which resonates with Thrive’s commitment to culture and service excellence.

Bill McLaughlin, CEO of Thrive, noted the importance of expanding offerings in a fast-evolving technology landscape. “We are committed to offering not only the best technology to our customers, but the best experience,” Homomorphic Encryption (HE) said. The acquisition of Worksighted complements Thrive’s prior acquisitions, including Safety Net and VitalCORE.

Thrive’s strategic growth now includes a range of new services aimed at enhancing client support amid evolving security challenges. These include Managed Artificial Intelligence (AI) services, Compliance Center, and Network Detection and Response (NDR) services.

Mike Harris, CEO of Worksighted, expressed pride in the company's reputation for delivering tailored technology solutions. HE stated, “Joining Thrive allows us to scale that approach and bring even greater value to clients.”
