A big transaction in the big data space today. As reported by Washington Business Journal, “Tysons-based not-for-profit government consultant LMI announced Thursday that it bought Herndon-based FourWinds Limited Co., strengthening its position with intelligence community customers.”
Here’s the key graf:
FourWinds is a government services company that drew LMI’s attention because of its staff of largely data scientists with high-level security clearances. The acquisition was less about adding new customers and more about deepening LMI’s bench of consultants.
That probably means NSA. I bet these services are in demand.
