In a release dated Jan. 7, Ramzi Musallam, Managing Partner at Veritas Capital, said, "This is the third acquisition by CRGT in just over two years. We have strategically added highly differentiated capabilities in vital growth segments of the Federal IT marketplace. Both organically and through acquisition, CRGT has expanded its expertise to match the mission-critical growth areas that are transforming the landscape of Federal IT." "In addition to a number of new customers, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Guident adds exciting new capabilities for CRGT in the area of big data that many of our customers are seeking. Data volume is currently generated at an exponential level and is expected to double every two years with an expected compound annual growth of over 40 percent. Fragmented sources of data continue to complicate the challenge of aggregating, synthesizing and storing that data in an economical fashion," said CRGT CEO and President Tom Ferrando. "The acquisition of Guident will help us provide compelling solutions to manage both structured and unstructured data challenges for our clients, which is the top ranked technology priority within government agencies for 2013."
