DevelopMentor Acquires Advanced Concepts Center

DevelopMentor announced today that it has acquired, and completed the integration of, Advanced Concepts Center (ACC) of Atlanta, GA, a nationally recognized leader in training and consulting services for the software development lifecycle. Terms are not disclosed and both companies are privately held.

For years our customers have been asking us to provide a deeper level of engagement because they have significant challenges beyond understanding the latest technologies. Now with the Advanced Concepts Center, we have the expertise and experience that we trust to match the reputation we've built in application development.

It quickly became clear that we shared a common vision about the challenges our customers face today. Together we simply provide much greater value to both our customers.
