Accenture to Aquire Cloud Sherpas

Dow Jones News
Consulting firm Accenture PLC said Tuesday that it had agreed to
acquire Cloud Sherpas, a cloud-computing consulting company that
has provided services to companies such as Google Inc. and
Salesforce.com Inc.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Accenture plans to fold Atlanta-based Cloud Sherpas into the
newly created Accenture Cloud First Applications team.
Goldman Sachs served as Accenture's financial adviser on the
deal.
Accenture has been acquisitive recently. In March, the company
purchased Brazil-based Gapso, a logistics company. A month later,
Accenture added consulting-services company Axia Ltd., based in
Massachusetts.
In July, Accenture announced an agreement to acquire EnergyQuote
JHA, a London-based energy-management company, as well as the
cloud-consulting firm Solium, based in Madrid, and Hong Kong-based
PacificLink Group. Also in July, Accenture moved to beef up its
interactive division by buying Texas-based app developer Chaotic
Moon Studios.
