EY has announced the acquisition of Zilker Technology to help improve its global e-commerce, digital, and cloud capabilities. The move comes as companies around the world continue to tackle large-scale transformation efforts, and will help EY build engaging, technology-enabled marketing solutions with a focus on data-driven, personalized customer experiences.
"Businesses have rapidly switched to an online paradigm where customers expect digitally connected solutions that strengthen their e-commerce experience," says Kelly Grier, EY US Chair and Managing Partner and Americas Managing Partner. "We're incredibly excited to welcome Zilker to the EY family as they squarely align with our growth strategy and complement our digital and technology transformation capabilities."
Austin-based Zilker is a digital consultancy and systems integrator focused on creating lasting and valuable customer experiences, with deep sector experience in areas like consumer products, healthcare, financial services, energy, and utilities, the firm writes. The firm's 360 employees in the US, Canada, Serbia, and India will all join EY's Digital and Emerging Technologies group.
"The addition of Zilker will strengthen how EY delivers end-to-end transformation for our clients, from strategy and design to technology implementation," says Steve Payne, EY Americas Vice Chair – Consulting. "Zilker's global delivery approach and customer-centric culture also strongly match with our core values of exceptional client service and high-performance teaming."
Zilker also brings to the table a number of strategic relationships with major companies including Adobe, IBM, and Dell Boomi. EY is looking to leverage these relationships to help clients digitally transform and be more agile, resilient, and innovative.
"We are excited to see EY and Zilker coming together," said Greg Sarafin, EY Global Alliance and Ecosystem Leader. "The EY-IBM Alliance is expanding rapidly, and we believe the addition of Zilker will help our clients receive greater business value and innovation as they tackle complex challenges with the help of Hybrid Cloud and AI."
