Asian Firm ABeam Grows Global Footprint via US Expansion

International consulting firms BearingPoint and ABeam Consulting have made a significant extension of their long-term strategic alliance, taking their combined presence to the Americas. The step is designed to deliver increased business transformation services in Europe, Asia, and now North and Latin America.

“These extended global capabilities will support smooth business transformation services throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, with stronger digital transformation and global delivery capabilities," said Matthias Loebich, BearingPoint Managing Partner.

The two companies, who have been in partnership since 2011, intend to set up Local Practices throughout the Americas and open Global Capability Centers in India, as well as Centers of Excellence in innovation and transformation in nearshore locations. The expansions will help accommodate the increasing demand for customized, cross-border consulting services.

Key highlights:

• ABeam Consulting expands into the Americas through strategic alliance with BearingPoint
• New Local Practices and Capability Centers to support global business transformation
• Partnership strengthens ABeam’s presence in US, Canada, and Latin America

ABeam Consulting, which already operates offices in New York, Dallas, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and BearingPoint, with a base in Chicago, will also leverage BearingPoint’s ties with Argentina-based Globant to deepen their footprint in Latin America, including Canada.
