Lightwell Acquires Leveraging Technology, Expanding its Cloud Integration and Enterprise Architecture Services and Solutions

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."

Established in 1998, Leveraging Technology is a privately-held IT consulting company headquartered in Rochester, New York. Their client base includes Fortune 500 corporations and smaller regional companies spanning many different industries—including health care, manufacturing, food services, banking, and financial services. The team brings decades of Integration experience, combined with deep expertise around architecture, business strategies, and industries. This rare combination enables them to be highly effective at helping clients achieve their objectives and gain marketplace advantages.

Some of the company's key focus areas include Integration, API Management, Cloud and Hybrid Cloud, Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture, and Information Architecture. They provide a full range of consulting services, including assessments and roadmaps, implementation services, solution delivery, and Managed Services. In addition, Leveraging Technology has developed a number of proven frameworks, processes, tools, and assets that optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate results.

"We're excited to join the Lightwell team, and it's an ideal fit for our team and our clients for many reasons," said James Cantin, president of Leveraging Technology. "They have an outstanding reputation for their technology and business expertise, industry knowledge, and relationships with their customers—all of which have been such a critical part of our team's mission and approach over the last twenty-one years. Lightwell's breadth of technology services and solutions offerings will be extremely valuable in helping our clients succeed."

Cantin continued, "Because Lightwell has such great relationships with many their customers across North America and Europe, our team will be able to extend their reach and impact to other geographies and industries as well.
