“When we began thinking about Blackink IT’s next chapter, finding the right cultural fit was every bit as important as finding the right strategic fit,” said Allgood. “KSM shares our people-first mindset, our commitment to clients, and our long-term vision for growth. Joining KSM gives our team access to expanded career opportunities and additional expertise while allowing us to continue delivering the responsive, high-touch service our clients know and trust.”

Over the coming months, Blackink IT will transition to the KSM brand.

KSM continues to grow by diversifying its service offerings and expanding its geographic footprint.
