The combined reputation of Intellinetics and Yellow Folder for industry knowledge and responsive in-house technical support is expected to measurably enhance customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

 

Tessa Tyler, Chief Education Officer, and Ryan Bell, Chief Technology Officer, of Yellow Folder, along with key support personnel, will be joining Intellinetics. Ms. Tyler stated, “We have been looking for a way to get to the next level for some time, and this opportunity to add our solutions and expertise to the Intellinetics portfolio is the right one to make this step-change happen. I very much look forward to the road ahead, which allows us to provide our customers with the best of both worlds.”

 

“We are excited to be working with Tessa and Ryan and their team,” stated James F. DeSocio, President & CEO of Intellinetics. “Their focus on customers matches our culture and, like with us, their customers tend to stick with them a long time. Their successes in the K-12 education market are impressive and together we will have a stronger footprint in these areas and allow for cross-selling Intellinetics other services and solutions into the Yellow Folder customer base, including Document Processing and Business Process Outsourcing. Further, each of us has complementary solutions and utilities that we can share with the other’s customers to drive wins with those customers. We continue to be confident in our focus on the K-12 industry as a key market, and this purchase underscores that confidence. We believe that the acquisition of Yellow Folder will be accretive and therefore add value to our investors just as it adds value to our collective customers. The addition of Yellow Folder is expected to significantly increase the proportion of Intellinetics’ recurring revenues relative to our total revenue base.”
