Evalueserve Buys BI Firm Beyond Data

Research and analytics outsourcing firm Evalueserve has acquired German business intelligence provider Beyond Data, for an undisclosed sum.

Founded in 2008, Beyond Data offers data integration, management and warehousing; ad hoc analysis; and management dashboards for a range of clients including MR firms and end-users. Following the transaction, it will continue to operate from its HQ in Rheinbach, near Cologne, under its existing management structure. The companies also plan to jointly develop new cloud-based business intelligence platforms.

Marc Vollenweider (pictured), CEO of Evalueserve, comments: 'The acquisition of Beyond Data and access to its technology and knowledge of data and business processes allow us to enhance and complement our portfolio. Our clients will benefit from a combination of Beyond Data's delivery platforms and Evalueserve's research and analytics capabilities and global presence. We could not ask for a better partner to help us develop into one of the market leaders in the data analytics space.'
