Today, interRel Consulting announced it acquired Niche Technologists Inc., a staffing provider focused on the Oracle/Hyperion technologies. The acquisition brings staffing services to interRel’s offerings.

The transaction was completed in February but announced today. Terms were not disclosed.

“Finding qualified [business intelligence] and [enterprise performance management] professionals has long been a struggle as the demand for resources far outweighs the available supply,” said interRel CEO Edward Roske. “All of our clients need, at one time or another, to hire additional BI/EPM resources to increase their full-time staff. We also find people who are looking to move on from their current positions and want help finding a new company who needs their unique skills.”

 Daniel Barber, founder and president of Niche Technologists, will retire.

“I’ve known and worked with Edward Roske prior to and since his founding of interRel and, in fact, have placed several Oracle/Hyperion professionals with him over the years,” Barber said. “Edward has proven to be an honest and trustworthy colleague and friend, someone I can trust to do what he says he will do.”

Founded in 1997, interRel Consulting is the longest-standing Hyperion partner dedicated solely to implementing Oracle enterprise performance management and business intelligence solutions for Fortune 500 and mid-size companies.
