The UCG mission is simple: Quality. Profit. Fun. 
The UCG vision is clear: Be the World's Premier B2B Information Provider.
From its inception UCG has dedicated itself to being the best. It’s been successful because of the high value UCG places on delivering quality content. And, the corporate culture of personal responsibility and collaboration throughout UCG fosters the creation of quality content.

In 1977, two young journalists, Bruce Levenson and Ed Peskowitz, formed a start-up business information company. They rented office space on top of a liquor store in Washington, DC and put out the first issue of their flagship publication. Two months later, they hosted their first business conference.

Less than 4 short years later in 1981, UCG launched one of America's first online information services for business, blazing the trail for the digital information revolution. The success of their first online endeavor quickly led to expansion into other business units and soon UCG was providing their valued business information services for a growing range of industries.

In the late 1980s, Nancy Becker and Dan Brown became partners in the company. Then in 1996, Todd Foreman, UCG's CFO, became a partner. UCG remains privately held, with no outside investors.

Strong Revenue & Profit Growth
Since inception, the company has grown rapidly through the development of new products and a series of strategic acquisitions. Today, UCG is organized as a portfolio of strategically focused verticals supported by a world-class shared services and operations group. UCG has over 500 employees at offices in Gaithersburg, MD; Boston, MA; Holmdel and Lakewood, NJ; Plainview, NY; Westlake Village, CA. UCG has enjoyed revenue and profit growth in every year since inception. 

Acquisitions
Acquisitions have contributed greatly to UCG's portfolio strategy. We've made over 35 acquisitions through transactions with McGraw-Hill, Pearson, K-III, Bell Canada, and a host of other organizations.  CCMI was acquired from McGraw-Hill in 1990 and now serves as UCG's Telecom Division, providing over 5,000 users with trusted telecom information products and services.
