“DCL is exactly the kind of business we set out to partner with when we started this journey,” said Colin Murphy, CEO of CTI. “They’ve spent 45 years building deep technical expertise, long-term client relationships, and a reputation for excellence in a market that is only becoming more important as organizations work to make content AI-ready. Together, CTI and DCL offer customers a more complete picture of the data lifecycle, from the front-end management of physical and analog information to structured, enriched, digital content. We’re thrilled to welcome the DCL team.”
CTI’s strategic thesis centers on the increasing complexity of how organizations manage information across the full lifecycle. As government agencies and commercial enterprises navigate mounting volumes of legacy content, regulatory requirements, and the need to make data usable for AI and analytics, the demand for specialized providers with technical depth and client trust is accelerating. DCL’s capabilities in content transformation, data enrichment, and structured content delivery extend CTI’s platform meaningfully into the heart of this opportunity.
