Strategic Acquisition Marquam was acquired by Lantern, positioning the firm within a larger digital and AI services ecosystem. This creates cross-sell opportunities for Lantern’s broader client base and expanded service lines, including data analytics, asset management, and utility-focused digital solutions.

Asset Data Solution Lantern’s development of asset data collection and management applications for Brown and Caldwell signals potential for Marquam to leverage its Microsoft and data-focused capabilities to upsell asset intelligence, data governance, and workflow automation to utilities and infrastructure clients.

Utilities & Water Recent partnerships with Brown and Caldwell highlight a trajectory in the water and environmental sector. This suggests sales potential for Marquam to target utility clients seeking digital modernization, asset optimization, and customer service enhancements using AI and analytics.

Tech Stack Fit Marquam’s use of Microsoft 365, JavaScript, Power Query, Docker, and data/analytics tools aligns with enterprise clients looking to accelerate modernization. This provides a clean angle for selling cloud, automation, and development productivity improvements to mid-market firms.

Scale & Collaboration With a modest team size and Lantern’s backing, there is an opportunity to position Marquam as a nimble, cost-efficient partner for mid-market engagements, offering rapid delivery, focused digital transformation, and collaborative delivery models to enterprise clients seeking agility.
