History

BackOffice Associates, LLC was founded in 1996 by Tom Kennedy and Trish Kennedy,[1] and delivers data migration and data governance solutions with a focus on data quality for enterprise systems, partnering with large software companies like Oracle and SAP.[2] Over the years, BackOffice Associates released several solutions and services, including the Data Stewardship Platform (DSP),[3] allowing customers to see the business relevance of their data. Employing hundreds of on-site consultants, BackOffice Associates works with Fortune ranked customers worldwide, with locations in Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore, Dubai, India and Australia, and ranked in Inc. 5000 list of growing private companies.[4] In expansion of their product and solution offerings to ERP customers, BackOffice Associates acquired Quadrate, a software development company with tools for data loading, extraction and reporting for SAP ERP systems in February 2010. In March 2010, they acquired CPM Consulting, a SAP partner with business consulting and technology projects in Enterprise Project Management. Shortly thereafter, they acquired HiT Software, a California-based development company focused on data integration, change data capture, data replication, XML transformation and IBM DB2 connectivity software.[5] BackOffice Associates acquired Headwall Software, Inc., a Canada-based software development company in July 2012[6] and in December 2013 they acquired ENTOTA, the UK-based SAP data services consultancy company further strengthening their SAP partnership.[7] Backed by Goldman Sachs, the company bought out its founders in 2012.[8]

Acquisitions

In 2014, BackOffice Associates made several expansions by opening new offices in Richmond, Virginia and over seas in Switzerland, Dubai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Melbourne, Australia. BackOffice Associates is still headquartered in South Harwich, MA. In 2015, BackOffice continued the expansion by opening a new office at Barcelona, Spain.
