Quadient has acquired CDP Communications Inc. for an undisclosed amount. The transaction sees Quadient purchasing CDP Communications Inc., a move that integrates CDP's specialized document software solutions into Quadient's portfolio. CDP Communications Inc. provides software that creates compliant, accessible documents, enables print data stream transformations, secures the archival and retrieval of print documents, and compares print data stream files in a fraction of the time required by manual processes.
Since its inception in 1984, CDP Communications Inc. has focused on developing software solutions for Independent Software Vendors, Original Equipment Manufacturers, Service Bureaus, and Developers. The company has continually evolved its software catalog to support the increasing demands for printing and information solutions, with a strong emphasis on digital document accessibility, comparison, and transformation automation for transactional and enterprise documents. Its offerings include tools for universal accessibility, macro and micro document comparison, and print data language transforms.
This acquisition is strategic, enhancing Quadient's capabilities in critical areas of digital document management and compliance. CDP's expertise in automating document accessibility, ensuring global standards compliance (such as ADA, AODA, Section 508, WCAG, and PDF/UA), and providing quality control comparison tools will significantly bolster Quadient's existing solutions. The synergy is expected to enable Quadient to offer a more comprehensive suite of tools for businesses navigating complex regulatory environments and striving for efficient, accessible customer communications.
The integration of CDP Communications Inc. is anticipated to strengthen Quadient's market position by expanding its technological offerings, particularly in high-volume transactional document automation and digital accessibility. The combined entity aims to deliver advanced, integrated solutions that meet evolving client needs for secure, compliant, and highly efficient document processes across various industries.
