Further is an Atlanta data, cloud and AI consultancy. In March 2024 it bought Pandata, a Cleveland AI design and development firm founded in 2016 whose work had been in healthcare, financial services and security, and its announcement said the deal extended its AI practice into technical, data-heavy sectors including defence. Pandata's founder, Cal Al-Dhubaib, joined as head of AI and his team became part of Further's data science group; bios dated 2026 place him at a different company, so that arrangement has since changed and no current leadership is claimed here. A buyer should know this firm's AI practice was acquired rather than grown in place. The sources are Further's own announcement and third-party coverage of the acquisition.
