SusQtech, a provider of SharePoint training and solutions to the non-profit industry, announced it has acquired Live Elements, a consulting company that specializes in social media strategy and community-building. As both are privately held companies, terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
SusQtech last year launched MemberToMember, a social media platform play, and WaveBoard, software for extending SharePoint discussion boards via e-mail. With Live Elements, the company plans to make available a full complement of social media services to its customers.
Rob Hustick, CEO of Live Elements, will join SusQtech as vice president of social media and digital strategy. According to SusQtech president Mike Steadman, “Live Elements has established itself as the go-to strategy company for associations and non-profits … They’re a thought leader in helping both large and small organizations understand and truly leverage social media to achieve concrete business results.”
