"We always listen. Everybody has a story to tell, and sometimes their story and our story align," says Rick Mancinelli, CEO of C3 Complete. In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Rick joins Doug Green to discuss C3’s expansion into Pittsburgh, the upcoming launch of their Security Operations Center (SOC), and their ongoing M&A strategy.

Strategic Expansion into Pittsburgh

C3 Complete has expanded into Pittsburgh through a strategic partnership with IAM Critical, a data center operator. The move positions C3 to support biotech, robotics, AI, and other high-tech industries in the region, reinforcing Pittsburgh’s emergence as a technology hub.

Why Pittsburgh? “Pittsburgh is reinventing itself as a technology hotspot, and we’re excited to be part of that growth.”

C3’s Role: Operating as the network services provider for IAM Critical’s data center.

Security Operations Center (SOC) Launching April 1

C3 Complete is set to launch a state-of-the-art SOC in South Florida, enhancing cybersecurity and incident response capabilities for their clients.

24/7 Staffing – All in-house, no outsourcing.

Incident Response Room – Equipped with cots, showers, and food storage for staff handling prolonged security events.

M&A and Partnership Strategy

C3 Complete remains open to acquisitions and strategic partnerships, focusing on MSPs, TSPs, and CSPs that align with their culture and customer-first approach.

Not Private Equity-Driven – C3 seeks long-term value, not rapid consolidation.
