Fort Worth, TX — September 15, 2009

ECi Software Solutions (ECi), a leader in industry-specific information technology solutions, announced today that M1 by B&G™ has transitioned to a new brand name: ECi M1™.

"This is nothing more than a transition to a new brand name which we think carries the strongest recognition," says Ron Books, President and CEO of ECi. "ECi has a proven record of investing in the companies it acquires and continuing to enhance and support their software platforms and M1 will be no different.

"The transition from M1 by B&G to ECi M1 reflects the wider recognition of the M1 brand and will see M1 continue to be a great product backed up by service and support that is second to none. Since ECi and Bowen & Groves are both customer-focused companies, even under a new name M1 will continue to be constantly enhanced to provide our customers class-leading manufacturing ERP software," says Daniel Noonan, Managing Director of ECi M1.
