Today, MassBio announced the addition of ACS—a proven leader in managed IT and cybersecurity solutions—as a MassBioEdge Preferred Partner. This new partnership continues MassBio’s longtime commitment to connecting life sciences companies with trusted providers that understand the unique needs of the industry and offer best-in-class services at preferred pricing.
Guided by a philosophy rooted in proactive support, risk reduction, and cost-effective innovation, ACS delivers tailored IT solutions that help clients in highly regulated industries manage expenses, mitigate risk, and scale with confidence. As the pace of scientific discovery accelerates, the need for robust, secure, and scalable IT infrastructure is greater than ever. Through this partnership, MassBio member companies can focus on scientific breakthroughs with confidence, knowing their IT systems are secure, compliant, and expertly managed.
“My father established ACS in 1985, and for four decades, we have built our company on foundational values with a mission to empower success through technology,” said Billy Adams, ACS president and principal. “I am thrilled to bring 40 years of industry expertise to the Massachusetts Biotech Association community. Our team is dedicated to supporting the group and providing thought leadership to help drive your success.”
ACS offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet the evolving demands of early-stage to mid-sized life sciences companies—from help Desk Support, 24/7 Managed Services, Network Security, Hosted Cloud Solutions, Data Recovery, and more. Their team of experts understands the importance of compliance with HIPAA, FDA, and other regulatory standards, and delivers solutions that not only meet but exceed those requirements.
“In today’s day and age, it is easy to take our technology infrastructure for granted, until the network goes down, data gets lost, or a bad actor gains access, and for our member companies, a lot is at risk in failures like that,” said Jason Cordeiro, chief operating and innovation officer at MassBio. “The team at ACS brings a decades-long track record of providing managed IT and cybersecurity solutions to their customers who in turn get the peace of mind to concentrate on their science and business operations. MassBioEdge is as strong as ever in delivering the kind of cost savings that MassBio members have come to expect and adding family-owned ACS to our preferred partners only grows the value it brings.”
Unlike traditional IT providers, ACS delivers a unique blend of industry expertise, operational maturity, and a customer-first mindset that’s especially valuable to life sciences companies. Their approach combines enterprise-level tools and best practices with personalized, white-glove service—ensuring every client receives secure, scalable, and compliant solutions. With a proven track record of managing IT environments in highly regulated industries, ACS offers proactive support, continuous system monitoring, and risk mitigation strategies that empower companies to stay focused on innovation and growth.
MassBio is proud to offer ACS as a MassBioEdge Preferred Partner (we use them for our own IT needs at MassBio) and encourages our members to explore how ACS can strengthen and secure their operations. Whether you’re launching your first clinical trial, building out a new lab, or preparing for rapid growth, ACS has the tools and expertise to support your journey.
