E3/Sentinel makes data analytics play

E3/Sentinel has made another move to go further up the mid-tier with its acquisition of Data Works Inc. to add analytics, big data and software skills.

E3/Sentinel has taken another step higher up the mid-tier with its acquisition of Data Works Inc. to add analytics, big data and rapid software development to its portfolio.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but this is E/3 Sentinel's first acquisition since NewSpring Holdings put E3 and Sentinel together to form the company in late 2018.

Earlier this year, E3/Sentinel CEO Andy Maner described to us his take on the the role of mid-tiers in the federal market and where his company fits in that.

The acquisition of Data Works fits what he talked about then -- customer demand for managing vast amounts of data and getting their hands on cloud based tools.

Data Works expands E3/Sentinel’s capabilities around data engineering, advanced analytics and software development. The company brings intelligence community customers with it.

The Data Works acquisition follows E3/Sentinel’s acquisition in March of spots on the GSA OASIS vehicle in pools 1 and 3 unrestricted.

KippsDeSanto & Co. served as financial adviser, Caulkins & Bruce, PC served as legal counsel, and Peloton Strategies Group provided pre-sale strategic preparation to Data Works.

Blank Rome served as counsel to E3/Sentinel.
