Accenture Federal Services has agreed to acquire Agilex, a provider of digital solutions for the federal government to expand into cloud-computing and mobile services for the federal government, according to a press release from Accenture.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“Acquiring Agilex will help AFS further solidify our position as an innovative leader in the federal market. Combining our digital capabilities and agile methods will accelerate our ability to help clients harness the power of emerging digital technologies and rapid, predictable systems deployment for the federal government’s most complex challenges,” said David Moskovitz, Accenture Federal Services chief executive.

Recognized in 2014 as a contractor of the year by the Professional Services Council and the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, Agilex provides agile IT development to the federal government. It provides services to several cabinet-level agencies — including the departments of Defense, Justice, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs.
