SolutionsX.
Terms of the transaction, which closed on May 12, were not disclosed.
SolutionsX is a consulting company that also specializes in ERP implementation. The company guides, builds and manages its clients as they transition to a custom Infor CloudSuite.

SolutionsX had a total of 34 employees before the acquisition. Both the GBS and SolutionsX offices will remain open.
Following the acquisition, clients of SolutionsX can expect a more robust suite of services and "deeper technical insights," a Monday announcement from the company said.

David Trout, president and CEO of SolutionsX. “By welcoming the exceptional team at Guardian Business Solutions into SolutionsX, we’re solidifying our commitment to providing transformative ERP solutions that help manufacturers thrive.”
