Smartronix Announces the Acquisition of Datastrong
Adds Data Architecture and Business Analytics Capabilities to Enhance Cloud
Solution Offerings
HERNDON, VA - (11 January 2021) -- Smartronix, LLC, a leader in
next-generation cloud, C5ISR, and advanced engineering and IT solutions, today
announced the acquisition of Datastrong, a technology solution provider focused
on data architecture, design and business analytics for government and
commercial clients.
Datastrong's advanced technology offerings will enhance Smartronix's position as
a cloud leader and expand the company's comprehensive solutions with additional
capabilities in enterprise analytics, data science, and data engineering and
management. The addition of Datastrong also brings new federal clients within
the Departments of Justice and State as well as complementary commercial clients
in the pharmaceutical, financial services and education sectors to Smartronix.
Datastrong is based in Fairfax, VA and will operate as a division of
Smartronix's Cloud Solutions business unit.
Smartronix CEO Peter B. LaMontagne welcomed the Datastrong team, commenting,
"Our acquisition of Datastrong represents an important step forward in expanding
the suite of offerings Smartronix can deliver to clients via the cloud. Our
clients are seeing explosive data growth which makes it more challenging to gain
insights, and Datastrong's solutions will help us address this as an ongoing
priority. Our FedRAMP and DoD-accredited managed services and managed security
services solutions have made us 'Cloud Assured', and this acquisition makes us
'Data Strong' as well."
Datastrong founders Jacqueline Meriwether, Andrew Patterson and Michael Carr
expressed excitement about joining the Smartronix team. "Smartronix is the right
home for us, and a good cultural fit. We are confident that our employees and
clients will benefit greatly from joining forces with Smartronix given their
cloud solutions capabilities, broad customer base and extensive portfolio of
contract vehicles," they said.
Rob Groat, Smartronix Executive Vice President of Technology and Strategy
affirmed the strategic value of the acquisition. "Datastrong is a great fit for
Smartronix and brings new and differentiated capabilities in data analytics
along with an impressive portfolio of priority public sector and commercial
clients," he stated. "Datastrong's market headway is a testament to their
talented team of technical professionals and leading position in the data and
business analytics market."
OceanSound Partners, a private investment firm that invests in U.S. based
technology and technology-enabled services companies, completed the
recapitalization of Smartronix in December 2019. The business was subsequently
combined with Trident, a leading provider of advanced IT, engineering, and
programmatic solutions to the United States federal government, which the firm
previously acquired in March 2019.
Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed. Truist served as
the exclusive financial advisor to Datastrong.
