Purchase of Ecommerce Accelerator LLC Adds E-commerce to Robust
Group of Interactive Offerings
FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2013--
ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI), a leading provider of consulting
services and technology solutions to government and commercial clients,
announced today that it has created a new digital interactive business
that will go to market under the name “ICF
Interactive.” This comprehensive suite of capabilities marks a new
phase of ICF International’s ability to provide end-to-end interactive
services to its clients.
ICF Interactive combines ICF International’s user experience, creative,
systems integration, marketing, and e-commerce services into an
integrated suite of capabilities designed to meet clients’ digital and
interactive communications needs. Collectively, these capabilities
support brand building, channel strategies and development, and tool
implementation, all with a deep industry perspective.
“Integrating interactive capabilities under the ICF Interactive name is
the final step in assuring that we continue to provide the best possible
resources, solutions, and talent for our clients,” said Ellen
Glover, executive vice president for ICF International. “We are
excited about this announcement and hope that the shared vision for ICF
Interactive will guide us well into the future.”
To complete the full suite of ICF Interactive capabilities, ICF
International recently acquired Ecommerce Accelerator LLC (ECA), a
premier Hybris multi-channel e-commerce integrator. Known for delivering
end-to-end solutions customized to the needs of its clients, ECA’s
recognized abilities in the e-commerce market round out ICF
Interactive’s suite of business capabilities.
“ECA will allow ICF Interactive to pursue larger engagements and gain
entry into the rapidly growing e-commerce area, particularly in the
commercial and business-to-business markets,” said Scott Walker, senior
vice president for ICF International.
Additionally, as part of the ICF Interactive integration of
capabilities, ICF International will retire the ICF Ironworks brand
name. ICF International announced in January 2012 that it had completed
the acquisition of Ironworks Consulting, L.L.C., an interactive web
development firm. ICF Ironworks now becomes part of ICF Interactive.
