Bain & Company Acquires Consultancy, Enterprise Blueprints, to Help Clients Deliver Business Outcomes Through Enterprise Technology

Enterprise Blueprints’ deep architecture expertise and proven track record will further enable clients to harness the power of technology in transformations

Bain & Company announced its acquisition of Enterprise Blueprints, a provider of enterprise and solution architecture consulting services.

With 93% of companies undergoing technology transformations—but just 6% on track to achieve their goals—end-to-end support is vital to improving the odds of success. From the strategic design to implementation, companies are seeking a broader range of external support more than ever.

“Our work in enterprise technology helps clients solve complex, high-stakes problems and deliver superior business value,” said Stephen Phillips, head of Bain’s global ET practice. “Enterprise Blueprints’ deep expertise in architecture will add to Bain’s end-to-end enterprise technology capabilities.”
