Socius has signed Maner Costerisan Business Solutions & Technology as a sales affiliate. Socius, a Microsoft Master VAR based in Dublin, Ohio, linked up with the group, which is part of Lansing, Mich.-based accounting firm Maner Costerisan. This is an interesting one because for a brief while, Maner Costerisan seemed to be getting more visible in technology, but this is a step away from a D-I-Y reseller business.
