Strategic expansion of product portfolio provides increased synergy in the areas of product development and internationalisation.

BlueCielo ECM Solutions has acquired CAD and Company's ECM division and its ImandrA suite of products - a move that strengthens its position in engineering content management solutions For BlueCielo, the acquisition means a strategic expansion of its product portfolio with increased synergy in the areas of product development and internationalisation

Selling its ECM division enables CAD and Company to focus completely on delivering, integrating and providing support for its design and ICT solutions for the construction and metal-processing industries.

"The ImandrA product suite and CAD and Company's ECM team represent a strategic extension of our core operations", states Martijn Janmaat, BlueCielo's CEO.

"Because ImandrA is based on IBM's FileNet, we will be expanding the acquired activities internationally in collaboration with IBM and specialist partners".

"The acquisition represents a clear win-win situation for both parties because BlueCielo is fully specialised in developing and marketing ECM solutions internationally, and it enables CAD and Company to devote all its attention to design solutions".

"Of course we are also very happy with the large ImandrA user group, which includes well-known companies like Arcadis, BAM Groep and Gasunie".

"Because delivering, integrating and providing support for design solutions involves an entirely different line of work than product development and international distribution, I have decided to sell our ECM division to an expert", explains Rob Oud, Managing Director of CAD and Company.

"It will allow the 10-man team to expand the ImandrA operations much more effectively from the basis of an autonomous division and respond to growing international interest".

"And since BlueCielo has over 20 years of experience, I am confident that both the customers and employees of our ECM division are in good hands".
