Sports data and content firm Stats has acquired Bloomberg’s four-year-old sports data analytics firm, Bloomberg Sports (BSports), for an undisclosed sum.

Stats will combine BSports with its Sports Solutions Group to bolster its capabilities and products in sports data for its range of clients, and the deal is the first since Stats joined Vista Equity Partners’ portfolio of companies in June.
