GMI acquires Appian Analytics

In a move aimed at supporting the company's Enterprise Research Management capabilities, GMI (Global Market Insite) has today acquired Appian Analytics. The latter is a leading player in the development and implementation of business analytics solutions.

The move will help round out GMI's service offering through its three core competencies: business analytics services, high-volume data processing, and data visualisation, including dynamic reporting and interactive executive dashboarding.

Founded by Anthony Milano in 2003, California based Appian Analytics draws on a wide range of decision support frameworks that utilise leading methods in decision theory, management science and computer technology. Mr Milano will continue to serve as president of Appian Analytics. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Rob Monster, founder, chairman and CEO of GMI, explained the logic behind the deal as follows: "The addition of the Appian Analytics team is a response to our clients' growing need for integrated intelligence solutions, including dashboards and management consoles that address decision support challenges that organisations are facing. Advanced dashboarding as well as other emerging solutions for data delivery are core to our goal of making Enterprise Research Management a reality."
