Top 100 Solution Provider turns 35

Three and a half decades is a long time in the channel.

This fact is not lost on MicroAge Canada, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this week in Montreal.

The company, which has around 40 offices across the country today, was founded in 1981 and offers solutions including installation and configuration, maintenance, help desk, remote monitoring and more.

In 2014, the company weathered a sale by former parent company Hartco Inc. to TMN Systems. Most recently MicroAge chose its first ever preferred leasing partner for its Canadian franchises, namely Catalyst Finance Partners Inc.

At its Innovation Conference this week, the solution provider discussed opportunities and challenges including managing for profitability, recruitment and compensation strategies, and best practices in the areas of marketing, managed services, cloud services and more.

The company ranked No. 15 for the past two years on CDN’s Top 100 Solution Provider’s list
