Back to News and Events page

Atlanta (January 7, 2004) - eMag Solutions, LLC today announced today a definitive agreement to acquire San Diego, CA based Computer Conversions Inc, a privately held company that has for twenty years been at the forefront of leading edge conversions from removable backup media, specializing in restoration of data for electronic evidence purposes. The acquisition was effective January 5, 2004, and CCI will operate as part of eMag's worldwide operations and will continue to be located in San Diego CA.

The addition of CCI will expand eMag's market leading portfolio of products and services for data restoration of removable media formats making it easier for customers to access and manage their data. This move underscores eMag's commitment to allow customers the ability to access and/or recover their removable backup media no matter the age, format or media type, and enhances its ability to serve customers of all sizes across the US and around the world.

"This acquisition gives eMag increased leadership and unsurpassed capability in the conversion market," said Brendan Sullivan, President of eMag Solutions. "Our approach to this market is unique. We are software developers first and foremost. We gain access to otherwise unobtainable files by having a massive library of knowledge relating to tape and backup formats, and we integrate that knowledge into our service bureaus allowing us to handle the widest range of restoration problems our clients are likely to encounter. Our extensive knowledge base positions us ideally in the electronic evidence market, and gives eMag the capability to handle data restoration independently of its original environment."

About Computer Conversions Inc
Computer Conversions, founded in 1981 as a data conversion service bureau, rapidly became the leader in transferring data and word processing files from one format to another. In 1988, Computer Conversions began offering data recovery services for 9-track magnetic tapes. Since then, we've have added over 500 tape and cartridge backup formats and software versions to our recovery and conversion library. Today our primary business is recovering data from damaged or overwritten media. We save clients time and money by retrieving information thought to be permanently lost from their backup tapes. We also provide transfers between older and newer tape formats when equipment is lost, inoperable, or upgraded.
