Actuate acquires analytics firm Quiterian

The Quiterian team will join Actuate’s existing staff and the company will be rebranded BIRT Analytics after Actuate’s BIRT business analytics and customer communications platforms. Josep Arroyo, Quiterian’s founder and CEO, will become Actuate’s VP of BIRT Analytics.

Actuate’s president and CEO Pete Cittadini (pictured) said: “We’re eager to add Quiterian’s leading-edge predictive analytics and data mining capabilities to the growing set of powerful technologies that BIRT developers can use to create applications that deliver insights. Quiterian’s technology is applicable to every one of our customer’s business intelligence, performance analytics and customer communication management deployments and it is going to generate a lot of interest.”

Josep Arroyo added: “Actuate and Quiterian share common values, common approaches and a common vision to deliver insights and we look forward to the next chapter of realising this vision with BIRT Analytics.”
