Knightsbridge Solutions operated as a consultancy firm headquartered in Chicago, focusing on enterprise-scale information management services such as business intelligence (BI), data warehousing, data integration, and ensuring information quality. In 2007, it became part of Hewlett-Packard (HP) through acquisition.
Prior to joining HP, Gartner Research recognized Knightsbridge as "a formidable competitor in the North American BI and data integration sectors," setting itself apart from smaller niche providers by offering extensive capabilities while maintaining a more concentrated approach than larger corporations. This unique positioning allowed the company to deliver localized service with the reach typically associated with major firms.

Established in 1994 by Ki Chan, Jay Desai, Terrence Ryan, and Faisal Shah, Knightsbridge Solutions expanded its leadership when Roderick S. Walker assumed the role of president and CEO in 1999. The company’s main office was in Chicago, complemented by additional locations in Houston, London, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., employing a workforce exceeding 700 at its height.
Its portfolio included services such as strategic planning and program oversight, information management, global service delivery, and managed services. Knightsbridge catered to a diverse range of sectors including communications, consumer goods, energy, federal agencies, financial services, healthcare and life sciences, insurance, manufacturing, retail, and technology.
Among its prominent clientele were AIG, Allstate, Bank of America, Capital One, Coca-Cola, Intuit, Kaiser Permanente, Liberty Mutual, McDonald's, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Nordstrom, Novartis, Pfizer, Visa, and Wachovia Bank. Following its acquisition by HP, Knightsbridge was incorporated into HP's Technology Solutions Group before eventually becoming part of the HP Business Intelligence Solutions Group.
