(http://www.motioncomputing.co.uk) to support UK customers," said Motion CEO Scott Eckert. "We're very pleased with the speed and the superior manner in which Ergo has integrated our product line. Itês an early validation of our strategy to establish a global network based on resellers that are market leaders in their respective countries."
