Management and technology consultancy BearingPoint has made a
strategic move in the Belgian consulting market by acquiring
Inpuls, a leading data specialist. The acquisition contributes to
BearingPoint’s overall growth objectives, strengthens its presence
in Belgium, and enhances its data capabilities.
“The acquisition of Inpuls pays into two core elements of our
corporate strategy: we enrich our portfolio focused on
digitalization, regulation, and analytics; we concentrate on
European clients, enabling them to become global leaders. Against
this background this acquisition doubles our size in Belgium, and
just as important, our clients now have Inpuls’s data expertise. We
believe data is at the heart of digital transformation and creates
value propositions and competitive advantages for our clients,”
said Kiumars Hamidian, Managing Partner of BearingPoint.
Founded in 2014, Inpuls is a Belgian consultancy specialized in
data strategy, data governance, privacy, Big Data, and analytics.
Inpuls serves top-tier clients in several industries such as
telecom, financial services, pharmaceuticals, and retail as well as
mid-caps with growth perspectives.
“With BearingPoint we share common values and the vision of
bringing innovative solutions to our clients. BearingPoint’s global
reach and quality staff will allow us to take our proven and
differentiating approach in making organizations data centric to a
broader set of clients, both in Belgium and internationally,” said
Jan Henderyckx, CEO of Inpuls.
Inpuls expands BearingPoint’s expertise in data governance and
data sciences, which is rooted in the firm's DNA. The Inpuls team
brings its expertise and capabilities – from data warehouse to data
lake and passing by data foundry.
“We share the conviction with our clients that data paves the
way for the development streams of digitalization, from
robotization, AI and Blockchain to IoT and predictive analytics. I
am excited to have the Inpuls team on board with us, and I am sure
our clients are as well. Its consultants are specialized in data
subjects and their acknowledged expertise in the market will enable
us to continue to strengthen our position in Belgium on strategic
and high value-added projects for our clients,” said Eric Falque,
leader of the FBA (France, Benelux, Africa) region at
BearingPoint.
BearingPoint will structure its Belgian practice around four
market offers: Digital & Strategy, Finance & Regulatory,
Operations, and Technology. The latter will be provided by the
Inpuls team and its founder, Jan Henderyckx, who joins BearingPoint
as a Partner.
The acquisition was orchestrated by Arganto, serving as M&A
and financial advisor, and supported by Dechert LLP, serving as
primary legal advisor.
