Lightwell Acquires Leveraging Technology, Expanding its Cloud Integration and Enterprise Architecture Services and Solutions
The acquisition will help companies accelerate digital transformation, overcome complexity, and improve business performance through advanced Strategy, Integration, API, Architecture, and Hybrid Cloud offerings.
DUBLIN, Ohio, Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lightwell (https://www.lightwellinc.com), an award-winning provider of Integration, Supply Chain, Omnichannel Order Management, and Data Analytics services and solutions, today announced it has acquired Leveraging Technology, LLC—a New York-based IT consultancy focused on Integration, API Management, Enterprise Architecture, and Cloud/Hybrid Cloud technologies. Leveraging Technology has helped many leading companies optimize their technology environments, align their IT and business strategies, overcome complexity, improve agility and performance, and increase access to data and insights. This acquisition represents a significant opportunity to address the heightened demand for advanced Integration and Architecture expertise while enabling Lightwell to create greater strategic value for its customers.
"We are thrilled that the Leveraging Technology team has joined us, and are excited about the expertise, tools, and proven methodologies they bring," said Michelle Kerr, Lightwell's president and founder. "Today, many companies are investing in strategic initiatives around Digital Transformation, Customer Experience, Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Analytics, and others—and technology plays a crucial role in all of these. However, Data and Integration-related challenges continue to be a major barrier to their success. There is a struggle to access critical data—when, where, and how it's needed—across many disconnected systems, applications, devices, and clouds. Also, it's a significant challenge to ensure that vital information flows seamlessly, quickly, and securely across all of these."
"These problems can't be solved by a software solution alone: they're challenges that span architecture, technology solutions, strategy, skills, business processes, and more," continued Kerr. "This is where the Leveraging Technology team excels—they bring all of this together, helping companies develop and fine-tune their strategies and roadmaps, implement the right technologies, overcome Integration challenges, optimize their IT environments, and align technology, people and processes for achieving their business goals."
