The iQ Business Group, Inc. (IQBG) is an American multinational corporation headquartered in McLean, Virginia, that develops, integrates, supports and sells computer software and services.
History
During the 4th quarter of 2010, Michael D. Beck orchestrated a management buyout of the U.S.-based IQ Business Group (Pty) Ltd., and renamed the company to The IQ Business Group, Inc. ("IQBG").
In April 2013, IQBG moved its headquarters from Atlanta, Georgia to McLean, Virginia in order to maintain closer ties with its federal customers.[2]
The headquarters relocation came after IQBG was awarded a $53 million Software as a Service (Saas) contract from the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) in June 2012 to provide an information governance system.[3]
Known as the eMail, Enterprise Records, and Document Management System (eERDMS), the solution developed by the Department and supported by IQBG captures and auto-classifies (stores in folders according to subject) 75 million e-mails per month[4] and drives compliance towards Presidential Directive M-12-18, signed by President Barack Obama in 2011, requiring that “Federal agencies will manage both permanent and temporary email records in an accessible electronic format” by 2016.[5]
