NEW YORK & HOUSTON--()--Capco, the leading technology and management consultancy focused on the financial services and energy industries, today announces the acquisition of ATOM Solutions LLC (‘ATOM’), a Houston, Texas, based IT consultancy focused on delivering innovative solutions and services to companies in commodities trading.

This represents our first step in pursuing acquisition opportunities where we see strong business and cultural alignment. I am excited to welcome Firoz, Sudhir and the ATOM team to the Capco family.”

Lance McAnelly, Managing Partner of the Capco Texas Region, said: “ATOM is an established company with strong growth potential, and Capco is acquiring a respected and experienced group of consultants and an in-demand capability with ATOM’s Allegro® expertise. There are clear synergies here in the financial services sector, where banks in the US and Europe are using Allegro® within their commodities trading businesses, and we see real potential in that sector, as well as continued growth in the Energy sector.”

Firoz Jhaver, former ATOM CEO and founder said: “The strength of Capco’s proposition, culture and our strong relationship with members of its executive team were key factors in our decision to agree to join Capco.
