(firmenpresse) - LIVINGSTON, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 06/18/12 -- (OTCBB: SSNT) (OTCQB: SSNT), a preferred source for best-of-breed mid-market software applications and expert professional consulting services, today announced that the Company has completed the asset purchase of a leading Chicago-based reseller of Sage software applications and a publisher of proprietary business management software enhancements.

Since late March and in anticipation of this asset purchase, SWK has provided technical support and a variety of consulting services to all Hightower clients and to the many Sage business partners who support their ERP enhancements.
"We are very pleased to have completed the purchase of Hightower," said Mark Meller, CEO of SilverSun Technologies. "Among other strategic benefits, this brings SilverSun and SWK approximately $3 million in additional annual revenues (based upon 2011 results), approximately 870 additional Sage ERP customers, an impressive suite of proprietary enhancement software solutions (with approximately 700 users) and a much deeper market penetration in the Midwest. Moreover, we look forward to leveraging Hightower's established network of independent resellers to further expand distribution of SWK's proprietary software solutions, and vice versa. This acquisition marks an important milestone for SilverSun, and one that should have notable impact on our revenue and earnings growth in 2012 and well beyond."
