First time Top 100 Solution Provider expands Toronto offices

Eastbay I.T. Consulting Inc., a first time addition to the CDN Top 100 Solution Providers list, is expanding its offices and updating its Network Operating Center (NOC) in Toronto.

The firm landed tied for the 100th spot on the CDN Top 100 Solution Providers list with a reported revenue of $5 to $10 million in 2016. Eastbay will conclude the move to its new offices at the end of May, where it will begin to show off its NOC and development lab.

Eastbay I.T. Consulting is a solutions provider of managed, hosted, and professional services throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and the rest of Canada.

In 2016, the company also received a Dell Canada 2016 Channel Partner of the Year – Central Region award for “delivering significant customer value with Dell Solutions”. Jeff Ridout, the company’s president, spoke with CDN at last year’s Dell World to express his excitement about the newly combined entities of Dell EMC. EastBay I.T. Consulting was a Dell Premier Partner under the old Dell partner program. Under the new Dell EMC Partner Program, Ridout estimated that his business could grow three to four times the market rate.

“One of the big things that separate us is we are a pro deployment partner and the only one in Canada that is Compellent certified to deliver on Dell paper. If you commit to Dell EMC there is commitment that is equal right back to you as a partner,” Ridout said last October.

Additionally, Eastbay I.T. Consulting was recognized as the Sonicwall Innovation Partner of the Year.
