I attended the ThinkNB industry showcase a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the depth and breadth of information and communications technology companies in our province of only 740,000 people. There were close to 100 companies packed in to the Aiken Centre (of 250 listed in ICT) . Most of the companies I spoke with are active, have a range of products and services and have real clients. Lisa, at MeshEast, has highlighted two IT companies that I know fairly well – Evolving Solutions and Spheric Technologies. This is a vibrant industry, that even impressed a cynic like me ;-)
I also spent part of the day with my business partner Hal Richman in showing our new Business Check-Up product, designed for small & medium sized businesses:
The “Business Check-Up†involves initial discussions with management, a review of your financial statements for the past three years and running an anonymous survey for staff and management. You then get a comprehensive graphical report that gives you clear, concrete guidance on what you can do NOW to increase profits.
I’d recommend subscribing to the MeshEast blog to stay up to date with web focused start-ups on the Canadian East Coast.
