3Cloud, a leading Microsoft Azure services firm, announced that it has acquired CCG Analytics, a Tampa based data and analytics consulting firm and premier Microsoft partner. CCG Analytics stands out as an innovative consulting firm, with a diverse mid-market customer portfolio, that helps customers treat data as a critical asset across the organization enabling both resiliency and power to scale in today’s digital business economy.
“With the acquisition of CCG Analytics, we continue our growth trajectory and strengthen our position as the largest Azure pure-play services firm in the U.S.,” said Mike Rocco, 3Cloud CEO and Co-Founder. “We’re excited to welcome CCG’s world-class team into the 3Cloud organization. Their strength in data governance and strategy combined with deep data and analytics expertise furthers our mission of delivering the ultimate Azure experience for our clients and Microsoft.”
Building on its recent acquisition of Polaris Solutions, 3Cloud will grow its employee base to over 400 Azure experts with the addition of CCG Analytics. CCG’s team of strategy, governance, and data and analytics consultants will join 3Cloud’s Data & Analytics, Infrastructure and Managed Services practices, bringing industry-leading expertise in areas like data strategy, data estate modernization, AI, data visualization and cloud migration.

“As Azure adoption has grown, so has the demand for trusted partners who can help organizations move beyond migration to modernize, innovate and transform their business with Azure,” said Jim Dietrich, 3Cloud President and Co-Founder. “Expanding our data and analytics capabilities is key to not only meeting this demand from our current clients, but also positioning us for continued growth as the largest and most advanced Azure services firm in the U.S.”
Gabe Stephenson, Gryphon Managing Director, said “This acquisition is highly strategic and further establishes 3Cloud as the most sophisticated provider of services in the high-growth Microsoft Azure ecosystem. We have been deeply impressed by the business the CCG team has built and are looking forward to continuing to work with them.”
