BlueCielo ECM Solutions Acquires DataCore Technology


Miami, FL - June 6, 2007 - BlueCielo ECM Solutions Inc, a leading global provider of Engineering Content Management (ECM) software solutions, announced today that it has acquired DataCore Technology in an all-cash transaction.

DataCore founder and president Brian Sallade is to be named COO of BlueCielo ECM Solutions in North America. The announcement was made at BlueCielo's annual Americas User & Reseller Conference in Florida.

"As a global solutions provider, BlueCielo aims to intensify its contact with clients and provide professional services, both directly and in continued collaboration with its resellers," says Martijn Janmaat, BlueCielo president and CEO. "Our fresh focus on providing integrated solutions for specific vertical markets will mean tight integration with business applications like MRO Software's maintenance management software Maximo and the development of industry-specific asset management solutions that support relevant regulatory compliance. With DataCore's outstanding track record in all of these areas, the merger of our efforts will help BlueCielo to significantly speed up the roll out of our new strategy in North America."
