Fujitsu Consulting Inc. and Rapidigm, Inc. today announced that the companies have entered into a Definitive Agreement whereby Fujitsu Consulting will acquire Rapidigm, a Pittsburgh, PA-based privately-held information technology consulting and integration firm with offices in 22 major metropolitan markets in the United States and offshore development centers in India. The transaction is expected to close within 45 days, subject to various closing conditions and regulatory clearance.

The addition of Rapidigm will significantly increase Fujitsu’s national IT consulting and integration capacity – which is focused on application development, deployment and management – and will provide incremental offshore delivery capabilities. Key skill areas for Rapidigm include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), with practices dedicated to SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft, business intelligence and custom application development.

“With the addition of Rapidigm, Fujitsu Consulting has now raised the bar on our ability to address evolving customer requirements with on-shore, near-shore and off-shore delivery capabilities,” said John Rose, CEO of Fujitsu Consulting. “Both Rapidigm and Fujitsu Consulting have built reputations on being agile and responsive to customer needs. While we are scaling up significantly, we intend to preserve these attributes which are valued highly by our clients.”

“We are proud to be joining Fujitsu Consulting, a like-minded firm with a focus on excellence in IT services and customer support,” said Lew Wheeler, CEO and Chairman of Rapidigm. “Rapidigm’s ERP expertise, market coverage and support services are complementary to that of Fujitsu. This gives customers of both companies access to increased consulting expertise and more delivery options.”

Once completed, this acquisition will add approximately 1200 US-based consultants in major markets through the US and another 800 India-based consultants in two developments centers. This will bring the total number of Fujitsu Consulting consultants in North America to over 4900..

Rapidigm’s senior leadership team will remain with Fujitsu Consulting in executive-level positions and will continue to provide day-to-day operational leadership. Rapidigm consultants will remain within their current assignments, providing clients with the assurance of continuity on existing projects.

The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Fujitsu Consulting’s growth strategy is focused on enhancing its presence and capabilities in key North American markets and segments, in part, through strategic acquisitions. With the announcement of the Rapidigm transaction, Fujitsu Consulting has now announced five acquisitions over a 15-month period, including Greenbrier & Russel of Chicago, IL, GIM Risk Management of Montreal, QC, BORN Information Services of Minneapolis, MN and Cendera Technologies of Dallas, TX.
