Eighteen months after helping to engineer the merger of manufacturing execution system software provider Intercim Inc. and manufacturing intelligence software purveyor Pertinence SA, Intercim President and CEO John Todd said the companies have completed the marriage of their two organizations and are now working to create tighter integration between their product lines.

As part of the organizational integration, 100-employee Intercim has implemented a dual headquarters setup, with Todd running the overall company and former Pertinence CEO Amelie Faure taking on the role of European CEO.
