Valentijn de Leeuw, ARC Advisory Group, commented, "Sometimes an acquisition brings risks for the acquired, but this one did not to slow down the BlueCielo teams.  The new Meridium version provides a clear demonstration of this.  The ongoing development of Merdium also shows that Accruent did not just buy competences, resources and clients, but also wants to actively develop the acquired BlueCieloECM business.”
