Accuris is an information services provider. Before 2023, it had been the Engineering Solutions division of S&P Global after their merger with IHS Markit. S&P then sold that division to KKR & Co., after which the business was renamed.[1]
Prior history
IHS
Information Handling Services (IHS)[2] "was founded in 1959 as Information Handling Services to provide information for aerospace engineers through microfilm databases".[3]
It subsequently grew to incorporate other companies in the information services sector such as Cambridge Energy Research Associates, Global Insight, Jane's Information Group, Prime Publications Limited, and John S. Herold, Inc.[4]
In 2008, IHS acquired Fairplay, a firm that assigns IMO identification numbers for ships, companies and registered owners.[5]
In 2016, Englewood, Colorado-based IHS and London-based Markit merged.[6][7] Jerre Stead was chief executive of the pre-merger IHS Inc. from 2006 to 2013 and from 2015 until the merger with Markit.[3]
Markit
Markit was founded in 2003 as Mark-it Partners, a financial data provider for daily credit default swap pricing.[8][9][10] The company grew via joint ventures and by acquiring other companies,[11][12][13][14] merging with IHS in 2016.[15][16]
S&P Global
On 30 November 2020, S&P Global and IHS Markit released information about a definitive all-stock deal[clarification needed] for around $44 billion, a deal that would be the largest of the year globally, according to Dealogic data.[17][18] On September 9, 2021, GlobalData announced its purchase of the Pricing and Reimbursement dataset from IHS Markit.[19] In December 2021, the IHS Markit announced its intention to sell Base Chemicals to News Corp for a reported $295 million as part of an effort to alleviate concerns about competitive effects.[20] The purchase by S&P Global was finalized on 28 February 2022.[21][22][23]
