What happened
ePlus acquired assets of Daymark Solutions, Channel Insider reported on August 25, 2026. The price, structure and other terms were not disclosed.
Daymark is a Microsoft Tier 1 Cloud Solution Provider, meaning it transacts directly with Microsoft rather than through a distributor. It works in data center infrastructure, cloud, Microsoft 365, Microsoft 365 Copilot and cybersecurity. According to the report, the deal brings ePlus a specialized Microsoft team and strengthens its presence in New England, particularly metropolitan Boston.
ePlus said the purchase expands its Microsoft services across Azure, Microsoft 365, security and Copilot, and complements the Azure and Microsoft 365 professional and managed services it already sells. ePlus CEO and president Mark Marron said the acquisition "broadens our solution set" and improves the company's reach in Boston. Daymark CEO Tim Donovan said the team looks forward to joining ePlus.
What it means for the books
Asset purchases differ from stock purchases in ways that matter to the accounting. The buyer chooses which assets and contracts it takes, and the purchase price is allocated across items such as customer relationships, equipment and goodwill. MSPs considering either side of a similar deal can start by listing which customer contracts are assignable and which require consent.
Direct CSP status brings its own bookkeeping. A direct provider is billed by Microsoft, carries the credit and collection risk with each customer and must reconcile Microsoft's invoices to client billing every month. When CSP subscriptions move from one provider to another, the transfer date sets which party bills for which period, so prorated charges and credits on both the vendor and customer side should be checked against the transition date.
MSPs that buy Microsoft licensing through a provider being acquired may want to confirm billing contacts, payment terms and invoice timing after the change.
