January 15, 2019 — Hitachi Solutions America announced it has acquired Capax Global, LLC, a provider of cloud and data platform solutions based on the Microsoft application platform. This acquisition is intended to provide Hitachi Solutions with capabilities across cloud-native application development, data platform modernization, big data, machine learning, and advanced analytics along with modern workplace and managed services solutions.
The companies share many synergies — including a commitment to achieving customer excellence, a close cultural alignment, and a strategic partnership with Microsoft.
As a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner, Capax Global specializes in building cloud and dataplatform solutions for data management, and solving critical business problems. Capax Global is also a member of Microsoft’s Inner Circle for Data and AI, and both Microsoft’s Azure Application Development and Data Partner Advisory Councils and was honored as a finalist for the Microsoft 2017 Data Platform Partner of the Year.
With this acquisition, Capax Global will immediately become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi Solutions America, Ltd. Capax Global’s leadership and employees will remain in place and be integrated into Hitachi Solutions America’s North American practice.
The strategic acquisition also is intended to strengthen Hitachi Solutions’ IoT capabilities with the addition of Capax Global’s proven technologies. These solutions incorporate data telemetry to gather data from multiple remote points and arrange it into the appropriate structure for downstream applications and reporting.
In addition, Capax Global brings its onsite and mobile IoT Labs, an experience that allows for hands-on exploration and brainstorming with engineers and data scientists to develop IoT-related strategies, see how to extract insights from IoT-generated data and explore how to unlock the many possibilities.
