Terms of the investment agreement will also see the consultancy giant acquire intellectual property, a location intelligence asset. The move will enhance service delivery in location-based analysis and field-based workforce management. AccelTeam was founded in 1998.

Yong brings in at least 25 years of regional experience in the consulting and implementation of analytics, business process management, and data management. He commented: The acquisition will also enable Deloitte to boost analytics and cognitive offerings in Malaysia. It will use growth in ‘white space sectors’ according to the consulting leader across Southeast Asia, Eugene Ho. Ho said: The acquisition comes barely two months after Deloitte acquired SecurePath. The Symantec specialist joined the firm’s Risk Advisory practice in Malaysia. SecurePath, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, markets itself as a service provider of risk, governance, and compliance solutions at the enterprise level. It also offers cyber threat defense, information management, and protection services. From a technology point of view, the company offers end-to-end services featuring key vendors like Veritas, Symantec, FireEye, Splunk, and NetIQ.
