San Clemente, CA, January 13, 2026 – Bluewave Technology Group (“Bluewave”), the leader in technology advisory and strategic sourcing, today announced the acquisition of CloudZen Partners, a security-focused IT advisory firm. The acquisition expands Bluewave’s national reach and strengthens its ability to help organizations make confident technology decisions in an increasingly complex market.
Founded to help IT leaders cut through noise and reduce risk, CloudZen is known for its strategic planning, security-first focus, and market intelligence across cybersecurity, cloud, network, telephony, and managed services. The firm serves as a single point of advocacy for clients, helping them lower costs, optimize spend, and improve their technology environments.
With this acquisition, CloudZen clients gain access to Bluewave’s Assess, Advise, and Advocate approach, backed by in-house Solution Advisors with deep industry expertise across cloud, security, customer experience, network, mobility, and AI. Clients will also benefit from broader market insight informed by thousands of real-world environments and contracts, along with ongoing client advocacy to ensure clarity and positive outcomes at every stage of the technology lifecycle.
“CloudZen has earned the trust of IT leaders by bringing clarity and discipline to complex decisions,” said Seth Penland, Founder and CEO of Bluewave. “Their consultative approach and focus on real client outcomes align directly with how we work at Bluewave. Together, we expand our ability to assess, advise, and advocate for clients while staying grounded in what matters most: helping them make the right decisions with confidence.”
CloudZen founders, Alana Haney and Gabe Haney shared, “Our focus has been putting cybersecurity compliance, visibility, and control first because without that, IT decisions can introduce risk versus reducing it, so this is where our value lies. Partnering with Bluewave enables us to scale our security-first approach and deliver deeper insight, stronger governance, and better outcomes for our clients.”
This acquisition represents another step in Bluewave’s growth strategy as the company continues to build through partnerships with advisory firms that share its commitment to independence, transparency, and measurable client outcomes.
