phData announced today its investment into the LATAM data consulting market with the acquisition of Nooka Labs, an Uruguayan technology company specializing in data engineering, machine learning, analytics staffing, and Snowflake Data Cloud professional services.

The acquisition will enable phData to expand its full-service machine learning and data analytics capabilities into Latin America and offer new and current clients a wider range of services, including enriched Snowflake professional solutions.

Nooka Labs is a pioneering Snowflake implementation partner in Latin America that has helped numerous LATAM customers and service partners build successful and efficient near-shore data stack teams. Nooka Labs is recognized for its expertise in the modern data stack as well as its understanding of human-centric values in today's technology ecosystem.

"We are thrilled to welcome Nooka Labs to the phData team," said Ryan Bosshart, CEO of phData. "Our ambition is to be the world leader in services for the modern data stack. It's imperative that we build a world-class delivery capability across the globe to meet customer needs and we're excited about the opportunity in Latin America. Nooka Labs has a track record of data modernization with Snowflake which will deepen our expertise and ultimately help better serve our joint clients across the world."

As the 2022 Snowflake Partner of the Year, phData has established itself as a leading partner for helping enterprises succeed with Snowflake. The acquisition of Nooka Labs will further strengthen this trend.

Nooka Labs' CEO, Marcelo Sosa, added, "Joining forces with phData is a natural next step for us. We have long admired their commitment to excellence and ability to drive real business results with data. We are excited to bring our technology and expertise to the table and work together to help our clients succeed in LATAM and beyond."

phData has a celebrated relationship with Nooka Labs, having utilized its analytics and data engineering staffing services throughout 2022 to help augment consulting work for a variety of clients across many different time zones. As phData continues to hire top talent globally, the acquisition of Nooka Labs opens up an entirely new talent pool.

The LATAM division will be led from its headquarters in Uruguay, a strategically chosen country that ranks 3rd in the world for per-capita software exports, and is the 1st country to provide every school child with their own laptop. This division will not only aim to enhance current regional talent but also strive to develop and grow the data cloud industry across the entire continent.

The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
