Pointer acquired by Enfo Sweden
Enfo Sweden acquires all shares in the Business Intelligence consulting company Pointer Sweden AB. With a new strong owner Pointer further strengthens its position as Sweden’s leading consultancy within Business Intelligence, one of the fastest growing segments in the IT sector.
Pointer is one of the market leaders in the Swedish Business Intelligence consulting services market with over 10 years of experience from successful projects. Its services include solutions for data warehousing, analysis, reporting and project management. Pointer’s products and services are a strategically valuable addition to Enfo Sweden’s existing services such as infrastructure, systems integration, identity and access control (IAM), SAP services and IT outsourcing services.
Pointer Sweden AB, like other Enfo subsidiaries, is prominent in what it does, maintaining an edge in niche services such as BI and data warehousing.
“I´m very happy that Enfo will become our new owner,” says Åsa Landén Ericsson, CEO of Pointer Sweden AB. “It is important for me and my colleagues that our owner shares Pointer’s core values and high aspirations and wants us to remain an independent subsidiary within the Enfo group. Enfo will also bring new opportunities for us to further develop our offerings and increase the added value to our customers, as well as, in the longer term, expand geographically in Sweden and the Nordic region.”
“Pointer has a very strong brand in the Business Intelligence sector and thus perfectly suits Enfo’s strategy to have a leading position in selected niche products and services. With Pointer in the Enfo family, we can further develop Enfo’s offer to our customers,” says Johan de Verdier Vice President at Enfo. “It is Enfo’s strategy to grow in both Sweden and the Nordic region, and this acquisition is an important part of the plan”, Johan de Verdier continues.
