BOSTON & CORAL GABLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Continuum®, the proactive platform that integrates intelligent software with expert services for managed service providers (MSPs) to scale dynamically and protect their clients, today announced that it has acquired BrightGauge. The move allows Continuum partners to benefit from the world’s leading business intelligence platform for MSPs and brings greater resources to BrightGauge for accelerated product development and customer support.
