MENLO PARK, Calif., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Velocity Technology Solutions, Inc. (Velocity), a leader in enterprise cloud application hosting, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Titan Technology Partners (Titan) for approximately $80 million.  This transaction is being financed through a combination of additional investment from Velocity's existing investor group—led by Silver Lake Sumeru—and bank funding.  Velocity was originally acquired by the investor group in 2012 and has completed three acquisitions in the past year.

The combined company—with global presence across North America, Europe and Asia—has more than 750 employees globally and approximately $150 million in revenues following this transaction.
