This acquisition, which includes all aspects of FCG’s intellectual property, customers, contracts and personnel, further strengthens enChoice’s leadership position and market share in the enterprise content management (ECM) space.

The company leverages custom data extraction tools to quickly and accurately extract ERM system data. FCG has helped hundreds of leading companies architect, monitor, tune and maintain their ERM environments.
enChoice and FCG will offer their full product and services portfolios across their entire customer base. This will allow customers to maximize efficiency and ROI by providing a comprehensive, end-to-end spectrum of ERM and ECM solutions. The acquisition specifically benefits FCG customers by enabling them to take advantage of enChoice customer support resources and complementary ECM software and services.
“The acquisition of FCG is a significant step forward towards broadening our offerings and capabilities in the ERM market,” said Tony White, CEO, enChoice. “We’re already the leading IBM® Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD) business partner and recognized worldwide supplier of CMOD education. With FCG, we further deepen our expertise and offerings in the strategic ERM segment.”
“The steadily increasing demand for FCG’s services made it clear that aligning the business with a company occupying a leading position in the ERM market would provide invaluable benefits,” stated Ken Foster, founder and CEO, FCG. “Given its peerless reputation with ERM customers and within the ECM industry, enChoice was the obvious choice. I have no doubt that our customers and the market will reap considerable value from the new capabilities this union offers.”
