CUNNINGHAM GRAPHICS INT'L -- A Digital Prospectus

Having engaged in a flurry of acquisition activity in the late 1990s, for a time CGI took on the appearance of being another industry consolidator. According to Mays, the true agenda behind these moves was to put the geographical and capability pieces in place to provide one-stop service.

The company itself became an acquisition target in the May/June 2000 time frame, and now is a division of Automatic Data Processing (ADP) in Roseland, NJ. Mays characterizes this move as a significant event in a very positive way. "Being part of ADP has made us an ever stronger force in the financial industry," he says. "It provides investment resources and technical expertise, as well as gives us strategic access to clients."
