DATA COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CORP.
DATA COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CORP., commonly styled DATA Communications Management Corp. and trading under the ticker DCM, is a Canadian corporation registered under business identification number 1169788040, with an on-file incorporation date of 28 January 2014. The company is headquartered in Brampton, Ontario. This incorporation date most likely reflects a corporate reorganization step in the lineage that produced the present legal entity rather than the origin of the underlying business, which traces back to a Canadian printing and business-forms operation founded in 1959. That business later operated as The DATA Group Income Fund, converted into the publicly traded Data Group Inc. effective 1 January 2012, was subsequently known as DATA Group Ltd., and was renamed DATA Communications Management Corp. in 2016.
DATA Communications Management Corp. is a technology-enabled provider of marketing execution, commercial print and digital asset management solutions. It plans, produces and manages complex, personalized marketing and business communications programs for corporate and government clients, combining offset and digital printing with software platforms such as ASMBL and the newly launched contentcloud.ai digital asset management platform. According to the company, it serves more than 2,500 clients, including around 70 of the 100 largest corporations in Canada, and government agencies.
DATA Communications Management Corp. common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol DCM and on the OTCQX marketplace in the United States under the symbol DCMDF. For fiscal year 2025 the company reported consolidated revenue of approximately CAD 450.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately CAD 60.4 million. In July 2026 the company completed the acquisition of Octacom Limited, a privately held Canadian intelligent document processing business, for approximately CAD 54.0 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, extending its activities into AI-enabled data capture and document workflow automation.

Data Communications Management Corp. is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and full details of its shareholder base are not published in a single consolidated register.
