For McGladrey, which has been a NetSuite VAR since May 2011, the reason for the deal is that qualified personnel has been hard to find. "Our main purpose for doing this acquisition was to gain access to key resources and IP to support our continued growth in cloud ERP,"  said Brian Becker, a McGladrey partner and national leader of technology consulting. In its VAR Star entry a year ago, Forward Hindsight reported $2.2 million in annual revenue and a staff of 16. I do not believe it has returned a form for this year's selection.
