A statement says, "The new entity aims to ensure the acquisition, storage, transportation and management of content for the media in order to improve their productivity and responsiveness. This proposal is consistent with the transformation of traditional media to a new model of 'convergence' and aims to reposition 'content' as the engine of growth for its customers."
"This merger is a fantastic opportunity for Digigram because it combines the pursuit of development in the areas that, historically, are the heart of our business and associates us with the ACP project launched by ACP Group. It will enable us to add value as well as being highly motivating for our employees," said Philippe Delacroix, Digigram's president and CEO.
"Digigram brings us technologies that will allow us to accelerate our development by broadening the range of solutions and services destined for media professionals," stated Christian Ciganer-Albeniz, president of the Compagnie Financière de Constance, majority shareholder of ACP Group.
All development, production and marketing activity concerning Digigram-branded products will remain in Grenoble out of Digigram's office, whilst the ACP Group HQ is based in Paris.
