In 2013, Diversified acquired Snader & Associates, with several offices located in California. As a successful and nationally recognized systems integration company they immediately contributed new ideas and talent to the Diversified family. Their executive team, sales account executives, engineers and project managers have all been instrumental in Diversified’s growth and made the company even stronger today. After building successful businesses and becoming dominate marketing leaders in each market segment the marketplace again demanded changes. In 2016 a new single Diversified was formed to create a unified brand that addresses all the portfolio of services Diversified’s business units provide. Our customers demanded a “one hand to shake” service model and now the company is strategically aligned with solutions teams to meet complex demands.
