AUSTIN, Texas – SAM, the Managed Geospatial Services™ Company for utilities, transportation, and infrastructure-focused clients, today announced its acquisition of Xtensible Solutions, an innovative leader of semantic-based integration and information data management solutions to the utility industry worldwide. Semantic integration permits the sharing and interoperability of data and systems across different platforms, applications, and stakeholders so utilities can more easily apply advanced analytics, machine learning, and automation across their organizational data streams and operational footprint to improve decision-making. This acquisition extends SAM’s consulting capabilities, enriches its technology offerings, and brings a connected and integrated Managed Geospatial Service™ portfolio to the utility industry.
Xtensible Solutions has been at the forefront of standards-based consulting for the utility industry for over two decades. It is renowned for its Model-Driven Integration (MDi) and Model-Driven, Data-Driven Integration (MD3i) software architectural frameworks. SAM is poised to leverage these innovative solutions to deliver greater value to its clients.
“The acquisition of Xtensible will help us accelerate our expansion and enhance our expertise in data analytics and system integration while, strengthening our reputation as a trusted partner for clients seeking comprehensive Managed Geospatial Services™,” said Sam Shakir, CEO of SAM.
“Xtensible has been instrumental in developing industry standards and providing innovative system integration and data management solutions. Our commitment to excellence and innovation in this space is solidified by joining SAM. We’re excited for future, groundbreaking work,” said Xtensible’s President, Greg Robinson.
Upon acquiring Xtensible Solutions, SAM becomes the exclusive commercial partner to the North American utility industry for Affirma, a subscription-based single solution for enterprise semantic modeling and metadata management.
