Deloitte US has acquired energy consultants
Altos Management Partners and energy market modelling company
MarketPoint.
Altos Management Partners and MarketPoint,
which is best known for its analytic suite MarketBuilder, were
founded in 1995.
Deloitte US partner Andy Dunn has been
appointed managing partner of Deloitte MarketPoint, which is

“[The acquisitions] will allow Deloitte to
provide the energy industry with decision support solutions,
including MarketBuilder, its models and data, in addition to
consulting services,” Dunn said.
