Miami — January 18, 2010 — Business advisory firm The Hackett Group has struck a strategic alliance with the consulting division of the Nomura Research Institute, a $3.5 billion company that is one of Japan's largest consultancies, to launch a Hackett benchmarking services offering in the Asia-Pacific region.
As part of the alliance, the two companies will offer Hackett's benchmarking services in Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia in 2010. The relationship provides NRI with exclusive rights to position, sell and execute Hackett benchmark services in Japan, and non-exclusive rights in the other countries.
NRI has formed a dedicated benchmark solutions sales team to position and sell Hackett benchmarks in these geographies.
The new relationship is designed to expand Hackett's presence internationally. Over the past few years Hackett has established similar relationships with companies to promote its services in the Nordic region and Sub-Saharan Africa.
"NRI is a highly respected consultancy in this region, and we're very happy to partner with them as the latest move in our long-term global growth strategy," said Hackett Global Benchmark Practice Leader Anthony Snowball. "We believe that NRI will help us powerfully extend the brand awareness of Hackett into these markets, and allow us to further expand our intellectual property in the Asia-Pacific region. It's a very exciting move."
According to NRI Corporate Senior Vice President and Consulting Division Director Sawaaki Yamada: "A key strategy for us at present is to find new and creative ways to move beyond our traditional business areas. This partnership is an exceptional way to achieve that. Hackett's benchmarks are an unparalleled tool for companies seeking to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness, and Hackett's IP offers a wonderful foundation for many traditional consulting and transformation efforts."
