Xebia a global Full Stack Software Engineering, IT Strategy and Digital consulting company specializing in Data & AI cloud, with a presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has acquired with US based 47 Degrees, a global tech consultancy firm for mission critical software.
47 Degrees offers comprehensive consulting services in functional programming languages and related technologies, like Scala, Kotlin, Spark, Kafka, and Akka.
Anand Sahay, Global CEO, Xebia Group, said, “We are delighted to join forces with 47 Degrees, and we believe that with their strong expertise in Scala, Kotlin as well as functional Java, this acquisition will establish our presence in the global market and also allow us to widen our functional programming expertise to Rust, Clojure, and Haskell. We aim to become one of the most significant one-stop-shop for all functional programming needs.”
Nick Elsberry, CEO of 47 Degrees, said, “We’re pleased to join forces with Xebia, strong supporters of the functional paradigm, to leverage and support our comprehensive services and expertise to our future and existing clients. Xebia aligns with our technology goals and people-first methodologies, and we’re excited about this next chapter.”
Functional languages provide significant advantages while building highly scalable and parallelised systems. As the demand for such scalable systems is increasing exponentially among enterprises and innovative start-ups worldwide, there is a simultaneous demand for un-fragmented specialised talent that can support the adoption of functional paradigms.
