Douglas Stewart Software + Services is now
On March 2, 2026, Douglas Stewart Software + Services (DSS), will rebrand to Climb. While our name and appearance have changed, our commitment to our vendors and resellers success remains a priority.
Why is Douglas Stewart Software + Services (DSS) rebranding to Climb?
Douglas Stewart Software + Services was acquired by Climb Global Solutions (the parent company of Climb) back in August 2024.
Since the acquisition, the DSS and Climb teams have worked collaboratively to continue delivering high‑quality solutions and services building on a long history of success in the education market.
That foundation in education provides a strong platform for growth. By extending our proven expertise, we are expanding our focus to more broadly serve State, Local, and Education (SLED) customers. As part of this evolution and rebrand, DSS is transitioning to a new name: Climb SLED.
Climb SLED reflects our strong foundation in education and our intentional expansion to serve the broader State, Local, and Education market, leveraging proven expertise to support continued growth. This rebrand brings clarity to our role within Climb and reinforces our ongoing commitment to the education and public sector markets we serve.
