Acquired by MGT The Tambellini Group was acquired by MGT in February 2025, signaling a broader platform strategy and potential access to MGT’s cross-sector client base in higher education, which may create upsell opportunities for IT research, advisory services, and technology decision support.

Higher Education Focus Specialized in unbiased higher education research and advisory since 2001, with a mission to optimize technology investments and constituent experience. This positions the firm to sell research, market intelligence, and technology ROI services to CIOs and IT leadership in colleges and universities seeking strategic tech decisions.

Growth and Leadership Recent leadership expansion with a new President/COO in 2023 and ongoing recognition as a top place to work indicates organizational growth, stability, and investment in talent. This may translate into expanded service offerings, larger engagements, and stronger client relationships to target in account-based selling.

Financial Scale Annual revenue in the range of $10M-$25M positions Tambellini as a mid-market specialist with potential for scalable advisory services, bundled research, and premium subscription or retainer models to grow average deal size within higher education IT leadership communities.

Tech and Engagement Active digital footprint with tools like Google Ads, LinkedIn tracking, Hootsuite, and Typeform shows strong digital engagement capabilities. This enables targeted outreach, demand generation, and efficient lead capture for expansions into new higher education markets or adjacent public sector clients through MGT.
