xFact has completed the acquisition of Stonewall Solutions, a company that builds custom technology for state and local governments. Stonewall operates out of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the deal is meant to strengthen xFact's reach into the public sector.
Stonewall brings a track record of working with government agencies on software and IT infrastructure. The company's team has experience handling the specific compliance and security needs that come with public sector contracts. For xFact, this means adding both talent and existing client relationships in a market that has been slow to modernize but is now spending more on digital services.
The acquisition fits a broader trend where technology firms are buying smaller, specialized shops to get a foothold in government work. These contracts tend to be stable and long-term, which appeals to companies looking for predictable revenue. xFact did not disclose the financial terms of the deal.
Both companies have said they expect the transition to be smooth. Stonewall's current leadership will stay on to manage operations. The combined team will focus on building out platforms that help cities and states handle everything from permitting to data management.
