(ACS) to Alliance Technologies, Inc. (Alliance), a member of the Iowa Network Services (INS) family of Companies. The transaction closed on October 7, 2014, and was led by Vice President, Musa Jagne and Managing Director, Michael Goss from the firm's Dallas, Texas headquarters.

It allows each company to tap into additional expertise and resources ultimately offering customers a more comprehensive and diverse array of products and know-how," commented Alliance Technologies President Steve Sikkink.
