The execution of this acquisition will see ProQuest's team integrated into Decision Inc. Australia, with key leaders from ProQuest joining the Australian Executive Committee (Exco). Both companies' employees will have new avenues for skill development, expanding their ability to offer comprehensive and integrated client solutions. ProQuest's dedication to Salesforce will remain a consistent focus.

Discussing the alignment between the companies, Bell noted, "ProQuest's client-focused approach aligns with our values at Decision Inc. By combining ProQuest's Salesforce expertise with our strengths in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data, we'll set new standards of excellence in delivering impactful technology solutions to our clients. The introduction of the team will increase the Decision Inc."

"Australia's business is over 65 people locally, and the Decision Inc. business is increasing to just under 400 people." ProQuest clients will experience a smooth transition, with services continuing uninterrupted.
