A Milestone on the Road to Greater Relevance for RHB and Our Clients

RHB is excited to announce that we recently signed an agreement to be acquired by Strata Information Group (SIG), a leading provider of comprehensive IT services to higher education institutions.

RHB will continue to deliver services through our Enrollment Management, Executive Counsel, Institutional Marketing and Slate and Related Technology practices. In addition, we will continue to operate under the RHB brand with one change: RHB is now RHB, A Division of SIG.

Most importantly, RHB will continue to serve our clients with the same high-performing intelligence, creative problem solving and empathy that has defined our work for the last 33 years. As part of SIG, we will be able to dream even bigger on behalf of our clients, widen and deepen our areas of expertise and create solutions that will push colleges and universities toward greater relevance.

“This exciting milestone provides RHB with the resources necessary to fuel our continued growth and broaden the scope of services we offer to our clients…The synergy between SIG and RHB is evident, and our shared commitment to delivering quality services ensures that our clients will continue to receive the same level of excellence that they have come to expect.”

RHB co-founders Richard and Tamara Bailey will remain involved in consulting roles with the firm they launched in 1991. “This exciting milestone provides RHB with the resources necessary to fuel our continued growth and broaden the scope of services we offer to our clients,” said Tamara Bailey, RHB CEO and co-founder. “The synergy between SIG and RHB is evident, and our shared commitment to delivering quality services ensures that our clients will continue to receive the same level of excellence that they have come to expect.” SIG has served more than 700 higher education clients over the course of its 37-year history. “We are thrilled to welcome RHB’s talented and dedicated team to SIG,” said CEO Brent Rhymes. “Together, we provide unparalleled support and innovative solutions to the higher education community.”
