Boston-based IT consulting firm Keane Inc said last week that it has acquired Parallax Solutions Ltd, a software services consultancy based in Coventry, UK. Financial terms of the deal – Keane’s second in four days – were not disclosed. Parallax works mainly with automotive, retail finance and capital market companies. Its client list includes BMW AG, Rover, Ford Motor Co Ltd, Chase Manhattan, and JP Morgan. The 10-year-old privately- held company employs 150 people and has annual revenues of nearly $15m. The deal is also Keane’s second UK acquisition in the past 10 months after having acquired services company Icom Systems Ltd of Birmingham.
