Future Tech, a market-leading full service IT Solution Provider, grows its already formidable government business by aligning with Universal Understanding to increase its market share in the Federal space.

Universal Understanding manages a consortium of small businesses that focus on Network IT, with over 50 years of technical consulting, process and project management experience. Recognizing the increasing demand for Managed Services, Universal Understanding aligned with Future Tech to complete the “Universe of networked IT,” according to company President, John G.

We have a mutual approach to doing business and our portfolios have a nice synergy, especially with our proficiencies in IP Telephony solutions,” said Metzger, alluding to his company’s CISCO focus and Future Tech’s CISCO Silver Partner status.

The combined value proposition of the two companies uniquely positions them to jointly uncover and explore business in the Federal market space, an area where each has shown considerable individual success.
