MRE Consulting brings with it a team of over 200 professionals with deep expertise in E/CTRM platforms and ecosystems.

At Infosys, we are witnessing increased demand for E/CTRM digital transformation. MRE’s specialized knowledge and frameworks, combined with our established leadership in the energy sector, will allow us to deliver greater value to our clients. We are excited to welcome MRE and its leadership to the Infosys family.”
MRE’s founders, Mike Short, Dru Neikirk, and Shane Merz, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “The intersection of data, AI, and technology presents vast opportunities for our clients. We sought a partner that shares our values and vision. With Infosys, we can scale our unique approach, expand into new markets, and enhance our impact while maintaining the core of what makes MRE special.”
Founded in 1994, MRE Consulting serves industries such as Energy & Utilities, Services, and Healthcare. The company provides business advisory and digital transformation services, including CRM, CPQ, call center optimization, cloud infrastructure, and digital workplace solutions. MRE is also a recognized partner of Salesforce and Microsoft and has been named one of Houston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work.
The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of Infosys’ fiscal year 2026, ending June 30, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
