aspirent Consulting Acquires FivexFive

ATLANTA, GA – OCTOBER 27, 2014

aspirent Consulting LLC announced today that it has entered into an agreement to buy FivexFive Enterprises LLC.

The FivexFive team has spent years building and delivering advanced analytics solutions for its global customers. The Aspirent Analytics practice will immediately begin to incorporate the FivexFive advanced analytics delivery tools and methodology into Aspirent engagements, as well as incorporate Aspirent IT and data strategy work into FivexFive customer relationships. With this acquisition, Aspirent Consulting significantly expands its data science and insights capabilities.

Andrew Wells, Founding Partner of Aspirent Consulting, sees immediate value in the acquisition: “FivexFive has a tremendous team of consultants that we are excited to welcome into the Aspirent family, and a premiere group of forward-thinking clients. For the last several years, we’ve seen FivexFive build analytical environments and processes for clients that use their data as a competitive advantage. We’re building Aspirent’s Analytics Practice around that work, their team, and their methodologies — and we are certain that these will quickly bring value for Aspirent customers.”

Harold Ball, President of FivexFive Enterprises LLC, said: “We are excited to join Aspirent Consulting in building something unique and powerful. The combination of our approach to Advanced Analytics, and their Management Consulting and Delivery expertise, creates a suite of data sciences service offerings that is truly unique. Aspirent Analytics will combine the Architecture, Governance and Insight layers of Big Data, in ways that no other consulting company has been able to do.”
