Knightsbridge Solutions was a professional services consultancy focused on enterprise-level information management, including business intelligence, data warehousing, data integration, and information quality. Co-founded in 1994 by Ki Chan, Jay Desai, Terrence Ryan, and Faisal Shah, the Chicago-based company grew to over 700 employees with offices across the United States and in London. Roderick S. Walker became the president and CEO in 1999.
The firm provided strategy, program management, and implementation services across numerous industries such as financial services, healthcare, retail, and the federal government. Its client roster included prominent names like AIG, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, and Pfizer. Knightsbridge distinguished itself from smaller boutique vendors through its wide range of capabilities and from larger consulting firms with its specialized focus.
In a strategic move to enhance its business intelligence and data warehouse solutions, Hewlett-Packard (HP) announced its acquisition of Knightsbridge in December 2006 for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was completed in January 2007, and Knightsbridge was integrated into HP's Technology Solutions Group. The separate entity, Braun Consulting, a marketing strategy and technology consulting firm, was acquired by Fair Isaac Corporation (now FICO) in 2004.
