DATASOLUTION Strengthens Its Expertise in Custom Development with the Acquisition of Blacksmith
DATASOLUTION, a digital agency specializing in e-commerce and data repositories, is continuing its external growth strategy and has announced the acquisition of Blacksmith, a Paris-based agency specializing in the design and development of custom digital solutions.
This acquisition enables DATASOLUTION to strengthen its market position by bringing on board a team of passionate, creative, and experienced professionals. With its focus on innovation and the creation of premium websites and web applications, Blacksmith will enhance DATASOLUTION’s expertise in developing digital solutions tailored to the specific needs of businesses.
The two companies share common values, including a commitment to excellence, continuous innovation, and a focus on customer needs. The acquisition of Blacksmith will enable DATASOLUTION to expand its capabilities in the design and development of websites and web and mobile applications. Blacksmith’s teams will join DATASOLUTION’s Paris headquarters, within a solid structure whose organization, methodologies, expertise, stability, and experience gained through some fifteen acquisitions both in France and abroad, will ensure a successful integration.
““We are thrilled to join the DATASOLUTION team and be part of this new adventure. This partnership will allow us to expand our service offerings and provide solutions that are increasingly tailored to the rapid changes in the digital world,” says Jean-François ARNAUD, founder of Blacksmith
““The integration of Blacksmith allows us to strengthen our technical expertise while expanding our ability to meet the needs of clients seeking custom-developed solutions. Our core business as a platform integrator is thus complemented by the development of 100% custom applications,” said Jean-Claude NOGUES, CEO of DATASOLUTION.
Founded in 2003, DATASOLUTION has grown over the past 20 years to become France’s leading independent digital agency, with 330 employees and revenue of 42 million euros.
