Univision Computers acquires Green Up IT to expand Helena reach

Univision Computers has acquired Helena-based Green Up IT, bringing the local firm’s long-running client relationships into a larger Montana-owned managed IT platform. The deal closes Oct. 1, 2026 and adds Helena capacity, security services and broader support for more than 700 client organizations.

Why it matters: - The deal expands Montana-owned managed IT coverage in Helena without sending clients to a national provider. - Green Up IT customers gain access to a larger in-state support network, including help desk, cybersecurity, cloud and automation services. - The combined company now has more scale behind local service, which matters for small and midsize businesses that need faster response and broader technical support.

What happened: - Univision Computers acquired Green Up IT, Inc., and the transaction closed Oct. 1, 2026. - Univision Computers is a Missoula-based managed IT services, cloud and cybersecurity provider founded in 1989. - Green Up IT was founded in 2008 and built a Helena-area client base around 24/7/365 emergency support. - Green Up IT founder and President David Kantorowicz joined Univision Computers as account executive for the Helena market. - Kantorowicz continues to lead the client relationships he built over 18 years.

The details: - Univision Computers brings a Montana-based help desk with a 12-minute ticket triage target. - Univision Computers also adds field technicians, a full cybersecurity practice, private cloud infrastructure and an owned service catalog. - The service catalog includes managed IT, backup and disaster recovery, business phone and compliant fax. - The combined company serves more than 700 client organizations under more than 1,400 active service agreements. - Univision Computers employs more than 50 people in Montana. - The company is adding Helena-based technicians as part of the transaction. - Green Up IT clients gain staffed Montana-based help desk coverage backed by Helena and Missoula technicians. - Green Up IT clients also gain endpoint, email and identity protection, backup and compliance as part of base service rather than an annual upsell. - Clients gain Univision’s in-house project capacity, including custom integration, reporting and workflow automation through its business automation group.

Between the lines: - The acquisition is a local consolidation play, not a relocation of service outside Montana. - Univision is using the deal to extend its statewide footprint while keeping Green Up IT’s client relationships intact. - The message to clients is continuity with more resources: same local contact, larger operating platform. - Univision CEO Alex Fleig framed the strategy as growth through acquiring firms that already have community trust. - Kantorowicz said the move gives his clients more behind the phone number they already know, including security and cloud specialists his smaller firm could not staff alone.

What’s next: - Univision Computers plans to keep building its Helena presence with additional local technicians. - Green Up IT clients will transition onto Univision’s service stack and support structure. - Univision Computers will continue operating as a Montana-owned firm led by working partners Alex Fleig, Evan Monson and Christopher Sumner. - The company says it has no private equity ownership and was named to the 2026 MSP 501 and Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies.

The bottom line: - Univision Computers is turning a trusted Helena IT shop into part of a larger Montana-owned platform, betting local relationships plus more in-house capability will win business across the state.
