Beverly Chaloux, Executive Vice President of Circulation Specialists, Inc. of Shelton CT, the consultancy that managed the vendor selection process, commented: "The ARGI Acuity system will raise the potential of future growth for strategy+business".

ARGI CEO, Ray Butkus said: "Booz & Company has a global reputation of excellence in management consulting.  strategy+business is a preeminent management magazine, and significantly for these difficult times, is one of the few business magazines with an expanding circulation.  This is testament to both the outstanding quality of its content and skill of its publishing and circulation staff.  ARGI is honored to be able to play a key role in strategy+business' future growth.  Circulations Specialists is an organization of highly skilled experts and we could not be more pleased with their recommendation to select ARGI Acuity."
