Sikich Expands Technology Specialties With Merger

Sikich has merged in Plainfield, Ill.-based technology advisory firm S2 Consulting Inc., effectively enhancing its current technology offerings for clients to include specialized experience in customizing technology solutions with a focus on electronic data interchange (EDI).

Specifically, the deal will help grant Sikich’s clients access to a broader range of technology offerings to improve organizational operations, including those focused on logistics, inventory control, barcode scanning, UPS system integration, e-commerce and EDI interfaces. S2 also brings enterprise resource planning and IT infrastructure experience.

The professionals from S2 are now located at Sikich’s corporate headquarters in Naperville, including former owners Mel Heckman and Ryan Clark, both of whom specialize in operational and technical advisory services.

Heckman and Clark are in the process of contacting clients to inform them of the recent change and address any questions they may have about the transition or Sikich.

“Since S2 is adept in various technology services—from software development to network infrastructure—bringing their team on board marks a significant step forward for our entire technology practice,” said Jeff Rudolph, partner-in-charge of Sikich’s technology practice. “Uniting their expertise with our seasoned professionals will open many doors for our clients. In particular, S2’s deep EDI experience is an area in which our clients will find extremely beneficial for their bottom lines.”
