ISSQUARED grew 365% in 2014, doubled the number of employees, added a strong leadership team, and is looking to dominate their niche by leveraging their recently announced partnerships with industry leaders in Identity and Access Management: Lieberman, ObserveIT, Okta (the leader in Gartner's 2015 IDaaS Magic Quadrant), as well as enterprise infrastructure services/software companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and VMWare (NYSE: VMW).

Brian Irvin, Head of IT at long-time customer Oltman's Construction Cos., a general building contractor, said, "ISSQUARED were far and away the easiest to work with, and the complete package to take advantage of Microsoft's Hyper-V to virtually deploy applications in the cloud."

ISSQUARED CEO Bala Ramaiah said, "ISSQUARED is thrilled to be partnering with the leaders in Information Security to customize implementations for Enterprise and Mid-Sized Businesses looking to securely share information and application access."

Ramaiah reminisced how earlier in his career, when working as a Principal Enterprise Architect at well-regarded companies such as Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN), Cable & Wireless (LON:CWC), and Exodus Communications, he relied on vendors to implement the company's Infrastructure and Security Roadmap in a timely manner. Ramaiah founded ISSQUARED in 2010 with the belief that IT Services could be much more reliable for enterprise clients if they could find innovative, time-efficient vendors who could anticipate challenges in the areas of ITIL Processes, Infrastructure, Network Security, and Identity Management, before they became issues. The company was named as IS² to communicate how a client could –multiply– its Information Systems resources by working with ISSQUARED.

In 2013, Indian-born Ramaiah added Security Monitoring Services out of their Hyderabad-based office. In 2014, a U.K. office was opened to serve European clients to architect services to deploy virtual desktop infrastructure and enable enterprise mobility.
