Staffing firm buys research company

March 04, 2009

ASG Inc., a Cary NC-based clinical staffing and services firm, announced it acquired Ockham Development Group Inc., a contract research organization, effective Feb. 6. Ockham provides research services but not staffing. Bill Donovan, VP of global business development at ASG, said the acquisition expands ASG's capabilities and allows it to provide a more full service.

"The addition of the Ockham team and its services helps accelerate our goal of becoming the company of choice for those wishing to outsource or augment staffing of a clinical trial," ASG President and CEO James Baker said. "We now have the breadth of services that allows clients to one-stop shop if they so desire."

Terms of the deal were not announced. 

Ockham, which is also based in Cary NC, will retain its brand name.
