The companies term the alliance a true merger, with previous owners of both companies owning the new firm, which is named Solucient and headquartered in Evanston. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. HCIA-Sachs CEO Robert Brown is CEO of Solucient. HBSI President and CEO Gregg Bennett is president of the new company and a board member.
