Jun, 2001 : Cognicase Strengthens Services Through Acquisition
📅 - Cognicase Inc. (cognicase.com), a Montreal-based e-business services provider, announced on Tuesday that it had acquired the privately owned Personus Inc. (personus.com), a Toronto-based software developer specializing in customer relationship development applications.
Cognicase says Personus is known for helping clients build online businesses, but has recently focused increasingly on customer relationship applications.

The company's Major clients include Merrill Lynch, HSBC, Groome Capital, Empori, TD MarketSite, Onex Corporation, Barrick, Kellogg, and Microsoft.
According to Cognicase, IDC has touted Personus as well-placed to become one of the most successful Internet professional services companies in North America. IDC believes that Personus' strong reputation and enviable list of clients will enhance its competitive advantage in both Canada and the U.S.
``In a market in consolidation, we continue to pursue our strategy of identifying accretive critical mass and solutions-focused acquisitions.
