Metamor Worldwide was an IT services and consulting company based in Houston, Texas, which grew rapidly in the late 1990s before it was acquired by internet service provider PSINet in 2000, and ultimately split up in the wake of the latter company's bankruptcy.
[3] Corestaff CEO Michael Willis told shareholders the new branding was intended to highlight the company's transition from a staffing shop to a full-service information technology provider.
[6] Metamor Worldwide was acquired by PSINet in early 2000 for $1.9 billion in stock.
[7] Some analysts point to the Metamor acquisition as a contributing factor in the decline of PSINet,[8] which went bankrupt in 2001.
Following the PSINet bankruptcy, some of the individual companies that had been merged to create Metamor Worldwide were spun out, while others were liquidated.
