Acquisition of Valence strengthens MajorKey’s ability to design and deliver transformational solutions throughout the tech stack with enhanced strategic consulting capabilities and expanded design and technology offerings
MajorKey Technologies, the company bringing harmony to its clients’ digital operations, backed by The Acacia Group, announced the acquisition of Valence Group, Inc., a business working at the leading edge of transformational technologies with strong consulting, user-centered design, and engineering capabilities. This move enhances MajorKey’s long-term value to clients by strengthening its current strategic consulting firepower and augmenting its technical expertise across the tech stack.
Seattle-based Valence was launched in 2017 and has since grown to a team of 90 consultants and engineers working with commercial and public sector clients across the U.S. This brings the MajorKey team to over 650 people and adds new technical capabilities in areas of high customer demand including Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, data integration, and user-centered design.
