Today we announced the acquisition of ForwardThink Group, a consulting firm specializing in financial services industry services and solutions.
ForwardThink Group brings meaningful expertise in compliance and risk management, business intelligence and master data management, and business process management across the banking, wealth management, asset management, capital markets and insurance sub-verticals. They have a solid client roster that includes some of the top financial institutions in the world, and have a strong presence in New York, a major hub for financial services organizations.
We believe there is substantial opportunity in the financial services industry. With the addition of ForwardThink Group Perficient expands its financial services industry vertical and enhances the team’s expertise in delivering information technology services and solutions to our financial services clients. This is especially relevant during a time when the financial services industry is highly regulated and becoming increasingly complex. Firms are challenged with navigating government regulations, managing rising customer expectations, integrating emerging technologies to modernize current platforms, and driving operational efficiencies. In combining the two firms, Perficient is better positioned to help clients address these industry challenges.
It’s an exciting time at Perficient. We remain committed to our financial services clients and team. Our practice is strong and continues to grow each and every day. We will continue to improve our offerings and integrate ForwardThink Group’s expertise and client work seamlessly. And I’m proud to say we’re on our way to establishing Perficient as one of the premier financial services consulting firms in North America.
