Acquisition of Valence strengthens MajorKey's ability to
design and deliver transformational solutions throughout the tech
stack with enhanced strategic consulting capabilities and expanded
design and technology offerings
CHICAGO, Dec. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MajorKey
Technologies, the company bringing harmony to its clients' digital
operations, backed by The Acacia Group, today announced the
acquisition of Valence Group, Inc., a business working at the
leading edge of transformational technologies with strong
consulting, user-centered design, and engineering capabilities.
This move enhances MajorKey's long-term value to clients by
strengthening its current strategic consulting firepower and
augmenting its technical expertise across the tech stack.
Seattle-based Valence was
launched in 2017 and has since grown to a team of 90 consultants
and engineers working with commercial and public sector clients
across the U.S. This brings the MajorKey team to over 650 people
and adds new technical capabilities in areas of high customer
demand including Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, data
integration, and user-centered design.
"Growing our long-term value to clients is at the heart of our
strategy at MajorKey. That means helping them shape their digital
strategies and deploy the right combination of technologies that
liberate people to do their best work," said Rami Cassis, CEO of MajorKey Technologies. "The
Valence team accelerates that strategy, given its strengths in
consulting, user experience and emerging technologies, which
complement MajorKey's capabilities in Enterprise Service
Management, information security, DevSecOps, custom app development
and managed services. Together with our global delivery capability,
we're well positioned to help clients plan effectively for the
future and achieve new value from their technology investments. We
are thrilled to welcome Valence to the MajorKey team."
"Like many fast-growing companies, our biggest challenge is how
to scale and meet intense client demand. Joining MajorKey answers
that challenge, bolstered by its outstanding sales team and client
base, as well as its ability to field blended teams of exceptional
on- and near-shore technical talent—all of which will benefit our
clients," said Valence CEO Jim
Darrin. "The MajorKey and Acacia teams stood out because of
our shared values and commitment to creating new opportunities for
our people. We each believe that our people are our superpower.
Once we connected over this shared philosophy, joining MajorKey was
a no-brainer for us. We're excited by the potential of what we can
achieve together."
MajorKey and Valence are united in their focus on delivering
great business outcomes for clients through an end-to-end service
model focused on strategy, design, engineering and managed
services. As their teams come together, they will be dedicated to
releasing client teams from mundane tasks, strengthening
collaboration between lines of business, designing new solutions to
critical problems, securing infrastructure, and above all, creating
exceptional experiences for their people and their
customers.
Acacia Group partner Craig Dawson said: "MajorKey and
Valence are a fantastic fit. They are businesses built on
people-centric cultures where values really matter. They have
expert teams working with skill and dexterity to advance their
clients' digital transformation. Together they create a
one-stop-shop for clients looking to combine foresight, creativity
and pragmatism in how they use technology as an enabler for
building better customer experiences and stronger businesses. We
are really ambitious for the future of MajorKey. With the Valence
team coming on board, the company continues to go from
strength-to-strength."
MajorKey Technologies rebranded from Highmetric in May 2021 following the acquisition of the
company's highly successful ServiceNow division. MajorKey is backed
by The Acacia Group, a team of specialist technology investors who
acquired the company in May 2019.
Cascadia Capital acted as the exclusive financial advisor to
Valence.
