New business unit
As part of this acquisition, Datapipe is announcing the formation of the Datapipe Government Solutions business unit, a new division of Datapipe Inc. The former President and General Manager of Layered Tech Government Solutions, Dan Tudahl, will serve as President and General Manager of the new business unit.
