3Cloud buys data consultancy CCG Analytics
3Cloud, the largest pure-play Microsoft Azure consultancy in the US, has acquired CCG Analytics, a Tampa-based provider of cloud and data consulting.
A Microsoft Gold Partner, CCG Analytics provides services across strategy, cloud, and AI and data. The firm’s offerings include cloud strategy, data strategy and governance, cloud migration and optimization, cloud managed services, and data and AI architecture, engineering, management, and visualization.
CCG Analytics has more than 130 employees, according to LinkedIn, and works with mid-market clients across industries.
3Cloud’s acquisition of CCG will grow its headcount to more than 400 people and will bolster its data and analytics, infrastructure, and managed services practices.
“With the acquisition of CCG Analytics, we continue our growth trajectory and strengthen our position as the largest Azure pure-play services firm in the US," said Mike Rocco, 3Cloud CEO and co-founder. "We're excited to welcome CCG's world-class team into the 3Cloud organization. Their strength in data governance and strategy combined with deep data and analytics expertise furthers our mission of delivering the ultimate Azure experience for our clients and Microsoft."
CCG co-founders Dan Phelps and Dan Rodriguez will join 3Cloud in senior leadership roles.
"At CCG, we focus on empowering our clients to become more insights-driven, gain better visibility into their business and accelerate their growth," Phelps said. "Our team is passionate about solving the most complex data and analytics challenges with cloud technology. 3Cloud shares these values, and we are excited to join them and grow together."
3Cloud was itself acquired by private equity firm Gryphon Investments in June 2020. Since then, 3Cloud has bolted on Applied Cloud Systems, Pragmatic Works Consulting, and Polaris Solutions.
The CCG deal continues 3Cloud’s growth amid strong and increasing demand for Azure consulting and cloud services generally. The Chicago-headquartered firm advises on building, migrating, modernizing, and managing Azure-based applications, infrastructure, and data and analytics.
