“This acquisition brings together two organizations whose cultures are based on a client-first approach to digital transformation,” Mick Slattery, Avanade’s President of North America, said. “It also reaffirms our commitment to bringing bold and fresh experiences to our clients and their customers.”
 
Infusion has 600 employees globally with offices in New York, Raleigh, Houston and London. It also has innovation centers in Toronto and in Wroclaw and Krakow, Poland, which expand Avanade’s operations in Europe. In addition to financial services companies, Infusion also serves clients in the oil and gas, retail, health care, education and travel and leisure industries.
