Glantus, the Dublin-based specialist provider of software solutions and artificial intelligence, has acquired data analytics company Hedgehog Analytics.

It provides a range of US companies with data science consultancy, particularly in the financial services, pharmaceuticals and marketing/advertising sectors.
Hedgehog has rebranded as Glantus US and will be leading the company’s expansion into the US.
Glantus CEO Maurice Healy, said: “This is a major acquisition in our expansion and diversification in both a geographically and sectorally. The deal provides Glantus with a significant footprint in the United States and presents us with a unique opportunity to scale up our business in the coming years”
This work is driving Glantus to increase their US employee numbers in sales & marketing with further growth in support and R&D resources required in Ireland.
Glantus currently employs 50 people.
