Md. tech company acquires Fairfax analytics firm

Maryland-based tech company Smartronix LLC announced Monday it has acquired Fairfax-based analytics company Datastrong.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Smartronix LLC provides cloud, C5ISR, advanced engineering and IT services, while Datastrong specializes in data architecture, design and business analytics for government and commercial clients.

“Our acquisition of Datastrong represents an important step forward in expanding the suite of offerings Smartronix can deliver to clients via the cloud,” Smartronix CEO Peter B. LaMontagne said in a statement. “Our clients are seeing explosive data growth which makes it more challenging to gain insights, and Datastrong’s solutions will help us address this as an ongoing priority.

Through the acquisition, Datastrong will bring with it Department of Justice and Department of State clients.

“Smartronix is the right home for us, and a good cultural fit,” Datastrong founders Jacqueline Meriwether, Andrew Patterson and Michael Carr said in a joint statement. “We are confident that our employees and clients will benefit greatly from joining forces with Smartronix given their cloud solutions capabilities, broad customer base and extensive portfolio of contract vehicles.”
