G2X TAKE: While this deal extends well beyond Federal Health, the news that these two consulting powerhouses will be joining forces will clearly be big news to firms in the Federal Health sector as Peraton, the former Harris Corporation Government Services business, which was acquired by Veritas Capital in 2017, greatly expands their presence in both the Federal civil and health marketplaces while continuing to add to their capabilities in the mission-critical IT domain.
