The acquisition allows rockITdata to leverage ALKU's deep access to advanced AI and data engineering talent to meet significant demand in its existing business, giving clients a partner that can deliver end-to-end project ownership at scale.

The move positions ALKU to solve larger and more complex problems for clients across cutting-edge industries including IT and life sciences, by integrating staffing excellence with solutions delivery.
"At ALKU, our growth comes down to unlocking potential for our clients, our business, and our people," said Andrew Bull, CEO of ALKU. "Bringing rockITdata on board is an exciting move for us. Combining their hands-on technical expertise and project leadership in AI, data, and federal health with ALKU's reach gives us the ability to offer a more complete solution to solve larger and more complex problems for our clients. We are excited to welcome the rockITdata team to ALKU."

"ALKU has created an exceptional platform around specialized talent, deep end-market expertise, and strong client relationships. Bringing solutions delivery across AI and federal health capabilities will expand the ways in which ALKU can support its clients and respond to increasingly complex needs. We believe the combination creates a differentiated model for bringing specialized expertise to support technology transformation efforts across both existing and new markets."
