Partnerships built on shared vision and complementary expertise strengthen organizations by combining their unique capabilities, expanding the depth of their services, and creating greater value for clients. In that spirit, Octacom is pleased to announce that we have been acquired by DATA Communications Management Corp. (TSX: DCM) (“DCM”), effective July 9th, 2026.
Joining DCM allows us to build on our enterprise services and software business faster than we could on our own, strengthening our capabilities through added expertise, increased capacity, and accelerated investment in our technical solutions.
About DCM
DCM is a leading Canadian tech-enabled provider of digital and print solutions that help simplify complex marketing communications and operations workflows. DCM serves over 2,500 clients, including 70 of the 100 largest Canadian corporations and leading government agencies. DCM's core strength lies in delivering individualized services that simplify client communications, including customized printing, highly personalized marketing communications, campaign management, digital signage, and digital asset management. From omnichannel marketing campaigns to large scale print and digital workflows, DCM's goal is to make complex tasks surprisingly simple, so clients can focus on what they do best.
Joining Forces
Since 1976, Octacom has partnered with clients to address complex operational challenges through large scale scanning, AI enhanced capture (including entry processing and AP automation), secure integrations, and comprehensive BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) support. We have built and delivered intelligent document and data management solutions that help our clients automate, optimize, and govern their most critical workflows.
By joining forces, the impact to our clients is positive:
-
Increased Capacity: leveraging DCM's network of 16 locations across Canada and the US and over 1,400 people, backed by greater operational capacity.
-
Expanded Solutions and Services: access to DCM's full suite of marketing communications, campaign management, digital signage, and digital asset management capabilities, alongside Octacom's document digitization and AI-driven intelligent document processing (IDP) solutions.
-
Deeper Technical Bench: a broad, experienced technical team supporting system integration, automation, and continuous innovation.
-
No Change to Client Teams or Services: Octacom will operate as a distinct division of DCM, retaining our name, our entire team, and our leadership team. Our clients will continue working with the same people, following the same processes and service standards relied upon today.
This partnership will not disrupt the quality of service our clients have come to expect from us. In fact, quite the opposite: it positions Octacom to deliver an even more exceptional client experience, drawing on a broader set of solutions, services, and technical resources.
“Combining our business with DCM marks an exciting new chapter for Octacom, expanding our ability to deliver secure and innovative solutions that help organizations improve operating performance and advance their digital transformation and automation agenda,” said Lee Berger, Managing Director of Octacom. “With DCM's national reach of secure document processing facilities, complementary client relationships, and strong commitment to the IDP space, the combined organization will be well positioned to deliver broader value to customers and capitalize on attractive growth opportunities.”
With continued innovation and the ability to adapt to the changing landscape of business technology, this acquisition positions Octacom and DCM to leverage each other's strengths, driving growth for the combined organization and elevating the value delivered to customers.
Most importantly, thank you to our clients for the continued trust and partnership, and we look forward to continuing to augment and improve our solutions into the future.
