NEW YORK”January 3, 2013 ”MidOcean Partners (“MidOcean”), a leading middlemarket private equity firm, announced today that it has made a controlling stake equity investment in All Systems Holding LLC (“System One” or the “Company”).  Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, System One was formed in 2008 through a management buyout led by Troy Gregory, System One's CEO, of Hudson Highland Group, Inc.'s engineering staffing business. Under current management, System One has grown to become a leading provider of managed staffing and technical outsourcing solutions.  MidOcean's investment has been made in partnership with the Company's current management team.

in the United States.

System One's deep customer relationships, best-in-class management team and multiple avenues for growth all differentiate it from its competition,” said Elias Dokas, a MidOcean Principal. “We are very excited to be investing with System One's management team as the Company continues on its impressive growth trajectory.”
