Accenture Completes Acquisition of ASM Research

Expands its U.S. Defense and Federal Health Business

ARLINGTON, Va.; Sept. 18, 2013 – In a move to strategically expand its U.S. defense business in the growing military health market, Accenture Federal Services (AFS) has completed its acquisition of ASM Research. ASM Research, an Accenture Federal Services Company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of AFS. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

With the acquisition, Accenture expands the offerings and value it provides to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA), delivering compelling clinical benefits and business solutions to federal defense and military health agencies experiencing a once-in-a-generation modernization. These clients will benefit from deep mission knowledge, experience in providing electronic health records, healthcare integration, interoperability and commercial best practices that ASM, together with AFS, are uniquely qualified to address.

“Transforming healthcare at the federal level requires close alignment with the private sector, as much of the healthcare for active duty and retired service members comes from private companies,” said Jim Traficant, president of ASM Research and a managing director at Accenture Federal Services. “Our combined expertise in technology, healthcare, systems infrastructure, and mission knowledge uniquely positions us to meet the government’s ‘healthcare readiness’ challenge.”

ASM Research, an Accenture Federal Services Company, is headquartered in Fairfax, Va., and has more than three decades of government experience and expertise in healthcare IT, information solutions and services, data analytics, cloud, data warehousing, human capital management and benefit solutions and agile software development.

Accenture Federal Services is a U.S. company, with offices in Arlington, Va., and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Accenture LLP. Accenture’s federal business serves every cabinet-level department and 20 of the largest federal organizations with clients at defense, intelligence, public safety and civilian agencies.
