G2 Capital Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to Arclight Consulting on its sale to Addison Group

CLIENT
ArcLight Consulting, LLC (“ArcLight”), founded by Pritam Dutta, Jeff Eaton, and Harch Mirchandani, is a market-leading provider of a complete suite of Oracle human capital management (HCM) cloud implementation and consulting services. The Company guides clients through every phase of an implementation project, including strategy, deployment, management, adoption, and optimization. ArcLight is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts.

SITUATION
The ArcLight team was seeking to further its position as a leader in the technology consulting sector by building upon ArcLight’s extensive expertise across the full suite of Oracle Cloud products and software and the Company’s specialization in HCM integrations, change management, and ERP support. The Company was targeting a partner that would support the successful execution of ArcLight’s growth strategy by expanding its national service footprint with a high-growth, differentiated, and specialized firm with a focus on prioritizing customer and employee satisfaction.

ENGAGEMENT
G2 Capital Advisors, LLC (“G2”) was engaged by ArcLight as the exclusive financial advisor leading a sell-side effort focused on identifying and transacting with an optimal partner to support the Company’s long-term growth strategy.

OUTCOME
The transaction was successfully executed on June 30, 2021 through a sale of ArcLight to Addison Group. ArcLight will continue to operate their brand under Addison just like Bridgepoint Consulting, which G2 sold to Addison in 2017, providing opportunities for growth both for the business and employees.

“G2 ran an efficient and robust process. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. G2 helped us to find the right partner with which to grow ArcLight both in terms of business goals and cultural fit.” said ArcLight co-founder, Jeff Eaton.

The ArcLight acquisition represents the third company Addison has acquired through a G2 represented deal process.

“It was an honor and a pleasure to work with Pritam, Jeff, and Harsh. The sale is a fantastic outcome for our client and allows the partners to realize their goals for the company while accessing Addison’s exceptional support base to grow their business.” said Kerri Ford, Managing Director and Practice Leader of Technology & Business Services for G2 Capital Advisors.
