NOVEMBER 1, 2012, INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Harbor View Advisors is pleased to announce that Appirio has acquired Knowledge Infusion, creating one of the largest HCM consultancies in the world. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Knowledge Infusion is a global human resources consulting organization that helps clients transform people, process, and technology to drive business results. The acquisition creates the world’s largest cloud-powered Human Capital Management (HCM) consultancy.

Founded in 2005, Knowledge Infusion provides core HR, talent acquisition, talent management and social collaboration consulting services to more than 350 clients representing over 16 million employees across all continents.

Additionally, Knowledge Infusion has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for four consecutive years running.
“Like Appirio, we saw a fundamental shift happening in how companies did business, how the workforce was changing, and the inability for traditional service providers to help business leaders adapt to that shift,” said Jason Averbook, CEO and co-founder of Knowledge Infusion, who becomes Appirio’s Chief Business Innovation Officer. “Appirio’s track record of innovation, their disruptive services model and culture make it a perfect home for Knowledge Infusion.
