The two organizations’ combined capabilities will provide clients with a broader spectrum of data-driven customer insights and location services to meet their marketing analytics needs.

“With the acquisition of RSI, we continue to expand our ability to provide clients with analytics to help them understand their customers and markets, and grow their business,” said Jan Kestle, President of Environics Analytics. “RSI’s proven track record focusing on customer success through data, software, expertise and service is perfectly aligned with our business. And we are very excited about the additional opportunities this will allow us to offer both companies’ customers.”
