Business and technology consulting firm West Monroe has acquired Washington, D.C.-based IT and business services transformation and outsourcing advisory firm Pace Harmon, the biggest acquisition for West Monroe in its 18-year history, the company reported this week.
The addition of Pace Harmon deepens West Monroe's transformation advisory services, and brings new capabilities in IT strategy, business process outsourcing, procurement and vendor management. The acquisition is a direct response to the evolving big business tech landscape, in which IT and back-office functions are being radically transformed by the steady march of digitization across the enterprise.
The companies have deep industry knowledge in common, spanning areas like consumer and industrial products and healthcare. The hope is that by bringing together the firms' complementary shared areas of technology and optimization expertise will have a magnifying effect that enables the firm to better support clients' transformation efforts in a post COVID-19 economy.
