From The Hackett Group, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-02-27)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- In 2017, we acquired Oracle ERP and Cloud implementation capabilities.
- The software market is rapidly moving to cloud-based software, which led us to aggressively transition our Oracle Solutions segment from being primarily focused on the implementation of Oracle EPM on-premise software to the entire Oracle Cloud Enterprise Suite.
- We believe the actions we took to expand our Oracle Cloud capabilities from EPM on-premise to the entire Oracle Cloud ERP Suite have strongly positioned us to take advantage of this secular cloud migration growth opportunity.
- Our expertise is focused on SAP ERP, with primary focus on Life Sciences and Consumer Goods.
Partnerships
- Strategic Alliance Accounts are accounts that allow us to partner with organizations of greater scale or different skill sets or with software developers enabling all parties to jointly market their products and services to prospective clients.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- Our corporate governance provisions may deter a financially attractive takeover attempt.
- Data privacy and information security may require significant resources and presents certain risks.
