Big Bang ERP Merges with Acumen Factory

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 2, 2015) - Big Bang ERP, a Montreal cloud solution consulting firm, announced today that it has officially merged with Acumen Factory, a 3-Star NetSuite Solution Provider. This strategic merger of two of Montreal's leading cloud CRM and ERP solution providers will deliver customers a wealth of knowledge and experience from some of the best technical and business consultants in the industry.

Big Bang ERP, a leading partner of Salesforce and FinancialForce.com, now adds NetSuite as a third offering in its repertoire. Cloud-based CRM and ERP systems have become many companies' backbones, and Big Bang ERP is passionate that its customers have the right solutions implemented. Big Bang ERP, by remaining solution-agnostic, is assuring customers that their interests are always put first.

As a result of the merger agreement, the management team has been reorganized to ensure that key business areas have the focus and guidance needed to promote continued success. Gabriel Tupula will hold the title of Co-CEO and Chief Operating Officer, while Mark Rhyman, former CEO of Acumen Factory, will be Co-CEO and Chief Business Development Officer. Both are veterans of the cloud ERP world and have experience building and growing cloud solution consulting firms. Confident that Mr. Tupula and Mr. Rhyman will take Big Bang ERP to new heights, Maxime Gaudreau has stepped down as CEO to pursue other projects.

"I am so proud of all the hard work that has gone into making Big Bang ERP what it is today," said Maxime Gaudreau, "It's been an absolute pleasure working with Gabriel Tupula and I know that Big Bang ERP has many exciting years ahead of it."

"The combination of Big Bang ERP and Acumen Factory creates an exciting opportunity for our company, for our employees, and for our customers," said Gabriel Tupula, Big Bang ERP Co-CEO. "The resulting company will have broader customer reach, increased diversity across industries, technologies and geographies and greater and more consistent revenue growth."

"The merging of Acumen Factory with Big Bang ERP seemed like a natural fit," stated Mark Rhyman, Big Bang Co-CEO. "Culturally both companies were very similar, we were both process-oriented, customer-focused companies that were driven by delivering exceptional work. By creating one cloud-solutions powerhouse we are able to keep delivering the same quality and service to our customers, while at the same time increasing opportunities through a more varied product offering and employee skillset."
