Their Content OnDemand™[508] and Commerce OnDemand™[509] solutions create distinct strategic advantages for clients who otherwise could not afford to purchase enterprise class software.

History

Acquity Group is a privately held consulting firm founded in 2001 by seasoned consulting executives with a combined 60 years of professional service expertise. The original founders of Acquity Group have worked together for the past 11 years.

In 1994, the founders started another Chicago based consulting organization, Modern Business Technology. In 1999, during the consolidation of the consulting industry, the founders of Acquity Group merged their firm with USWeb/CKS. In 2000, USWeb/CKS merged with Whittman Hart and in 2001 the founders left that organization to form Acquity Group.

Their name explains their business philosophy. A combination of acuity and equity, Acquity represents the ability to provide seasoned experience and strategic insight to solve clients' toughest business problems.

Acuity = sharpness in perception
Our ability to quickly and clearly identify the business problem

Equity = value of our business, our people
Our ability to leverage our experience and expertise to solve our clients needs
