Sark acquired by Sogeti

Many of you have already heard the news, but my company, Software Architects, was recently acquired by Sogeti.

My only real prior knowledge of Sogeti was that I knew that Tim Rayburn worked at the Dallas office.

It’s hard to know what to expect at first.  Most seem to think it’s an exciting change, probably because we will be introduced to a lot of new clients and have one of the largest Microsoft consultancies in Houston (among other cities).  I sincerely hope that the culture that I love here will not be disturbed.  Sark stands out among a number of similar companies here in Houston, largely because they have fun company meetings (open bar!), a great training program, you’re paid to get certifications, they have a great library and will order books if you need them.  We’re reimbursed for tolls and parking as well.

It is my hope that these things do not fall through the cracks as we make the transition to becoming “Sogetians” (ahh… just doesn’t have the same ring to it!).

We’re ramping up to integrate everything this month, mostly moving Sarks over to the Sogeti infrastructure.  March will definitely be an interesting month, that’s for sure.
