McLean, Virginia-based analytics firm PlanetRisk has purchased service-disabled, veteran-owned small business Analytic Strategies for an undisclosed sum in an effort to expand its suite of analytics platforms.
Randy Wimmer, founder and CEO of Analytic Strategies, will sit on PlanetRisks board of directors and serve as a strategic adviser to PlanetRisk President and CEO Paul McQuillan, PlanetRisk said Tuesday.
PlanetRisk also appointed Denis Clements, president and chief operating officer of Analytic Strategies, as the companys COO as part of the acquisition.
McQuillan said the purchase would help PlanetRisk expand its geospatial business intelligence, big data engineering and social network analysis services as well as provide access to Analytic Strategies workforce, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts and intelligence and defense sector clients.
