History
editInitially known as Marks-Baer Inc. (MBTI), the company was founded in 1966 by Randolph A. Marks and G. David Baer, two former employees of IBM, in Buffalo, New York.[4] MBI's initial market was the medical industry, since both founders had experience in that area.
A year after its staff grew to 20 employees and its name was changed to Computer Task Group Inc. (CTG), the firm went public in 1969. Six years later, it decided to become a national company.[5] CTG accelerated growth through acquisitions beginning in 1980 and within 5 years, acquired 15 companies.
In 1986, it made its first international acquisition, Shubrook International, Ltd., a software consulting firm based in Chertsey, England.[6] In 2018, five years after purchasing etrinity N.V., a healthcare IT company in Belgium,[7] CTG acquired Soft Company, a consulting and digital services company headquartered in Paris, France.[8]
In August 2023, it was announced CTG had been acquired by the Hasselt-headquartered IT services and consultancy company, Cegeka for $107 million.[9] In December, it was announced that the acquisition had been completed.
