The 20 MSP has announced its acquisition of ADC, a Massachusetts-based IT solutions provider headquartered in Dracut and led by President and Owner Jim Considine.

ADC joins The 20 MSP as the organization's 40th acquisition in under three years, a milestone made possible by the company's unique M&A strategy: primarily acquiring MSPs from within its peer group and growth platform, The 20 MSP Group. This model allows for accelerated integration, as member companies already operate using The 20's standardized technology stack, core business processes and culture of collaboration.

Founded by Considine, ADC has been a trusted technology partner to small and mid-sized businesses across Boston and the surrounding areas since 1990. Known for its tailored solutions and unwavering commitment to client success, ADC has helped hundreds of businesses boost productivity and reduce risk through streamlined, customized IT solutions and proactive support. As a member of The 20 MSP Group, ADC achieved impressive year-on-year growth, while adding the scale and operational maturity needed to compete at a higher level.

"ADC is exactly the kind of MSP we love to bring into the fold," said Tim Conkle, founder and CEO, The 20 MSP. "Jim is incredibly driven and focused on building his MSP the right way. His commitment to continuous improvement shines through in the team he's built, the culture he's nurtured and the strong, lasting relationships he's established with clients. We're excited to deepen our partnership with Jim and the ADC team — and to continue innovating and raising the bar in managed services together."

Considine will remain on board in a new leadership position, continuing the pattern seen with many of The 20 MSP's acquisitions, where owners and decision makers stay on to guide growth and drive improvement in roles aligned with their strengths.

"Our M&A strategy is about building something bigger together," Conkle said. "We're acquiring these companies to elevate everything they've already built — and to add crucial expertise and industry experience to our growing operations. 'Right people in the right seats' has been a guiding principle since day one, and it remains central as we expand nationwide. At the heart of our mission is the belief that an MSP's success depends more than anything else on the people in its tent — the passion, integrity and energy they bring to the office, day in and day out."

With a robust pipeline of acquisition candidates and a proven framework for rapid, harmonious integration, The 20 MSP is poised to continue its national expansion throughout 2025, reinforcing its reputation as one of the most forward-thinking players in the managed services space.

Pinecrest Capital Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to The 20 MSP on the acquisition and associated financing.
