ConnectWise has quietly acquired HashInclude Computech, a cloud-centric software development company with expertise in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and other third-party services, ChannelE2E has confirmed.
When ChannelE2E inquired about the deal, ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini responded: "We did acquire HashInclude recently. They work on Unite and several other products. They are great and we are happy to have them merge with us!"
