Xebia, a global IT consultancy and services firm, has joined forces with 47 Degrees, a global technology consultancy based in the United States that focuses on unlocking business growth by developing reliable solutions for complex, mission-critical software.

Since 2010, 47 Degrees has been focused on developing and deploying innovative applications for its clients, as well as actively participating in the tech community. Scala, Kotlin, Spark, Kafka, and Akka are among the functional programming languages and related technologies that the company provides comprehensive consulting services in. While the company’s headquarters are in Seattle, Washington, it has significant operations in Spain, the United Kingdom, and Colombia.

Its team handles application design, development, and deployment for its clients, allowing businesses to focus on their core business objectives. Their engineers, who have years of development experience, collaborate with client teams to provide additional bandwidth and modify the mission-critical workflow.

Speaking about the collaboration, Anand Sahay, Global CEO, Xebia Group, said, “We are delighted to join forces with 47 Degrees, and we believe that with their strong expertise in Scala, Kotlin as well as functional Java, this acquisition will establish our presence in the global market and also allow us to widen our functional programming expertise to Rust, Clojure, and Haskell. We aim to become one of the most significant one-stop-shop for all functional programming needs.”

Nick Elsberry, CEO of 47 Degrees, said, “We’re pleased to join forces with Xebia, strong supporters of the functional paradigm, to leverage and support our comprehensive services and expertise to our future and existing clients. Xebia aligns with our technology goals and people-first methodologies, and we’re excited about this next chapter.”

When developing highly scalable and parallelized systems, functional languages offer significant advantages. As the demand for such scalable systems grows exponentially among enterprises and innovative start-ups around the world, so does the demand for unfragmented specialized talent that can support the adoption of functional paradigms.
