WWT Acquires Agile Software Development Consulting Firm Asynchrony
ST. LOUIS - June 4, 2015 – World Wide Technology, Inc., a market-leading technology integrator, acquired technology consulting firm, Asynchrony, Inc., from Schafer Corporation for an undisclosed fee.

Furthermore, this acquisition extends WWT's core focus areas including big data, security, mobility, and software-defined networks and data centers.
