Dresser & Associates, a Scarborough company that provides IT services for compliance, benefits, payroll and other human resources administration, has been acquired by a New York City firm, Net@Work.

The deal was announced Wednesday in a press release. The purchase price was not disclosed.

Mark Dresser, president of Dresser, has been named practice director of employer solutions for Net@Work. All of the Maine company’s employees will be retained and the office will remain in Scarborough, said Dresser. He also said customers should expect a seamless transition.

The company has been a top seller of specialized human resource software systems called Sage HRMS, which attracted Net@Work’s interest. Dresser & Associates also provides a range of business consultancy services.
