In a world of relentless change, ISM Information Services Management Canada Corporation (ISM Canada) understands the challenges our client organizations face – firsthand. We strive to bring the best of today’s Information Technology (IT) practices and solutions to our customers.
With 510 employees based in our offices in Regina, Saskatchewan, and Victoria, British Columbia, ISM Canada brings proven expertise in delivering IT outsourcing solutions to organizations whose IT teams are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Our clients are leading public and private sector organizations, who count on ISM Canada to help them succeed.
First established in Regina in 1973 as SaskComp, ISM Canada has undergone a dramatic transformation over three decades in business—keeping pace with technological innovation to help our clients achieve their objectives through cost-effective use of current IT capabilities.
Today, ISM Canada offers our clients more than our full service end-to-end IT solutions - we offer a partnership based on a deep commitment to clients changing needs. From traditional mainframe and midrange IT outsourcing services to talented IT professionals dedicated to working onsite in client organizations to deliver the IT reliability and excellence they count on. From packaged AMS offerings to today’s e-business OnDemand services.
Our offerings include out-tasking and staff supplementation as well as end-to-end solutions: proven, cost-effective application management and networking services, e-business consulting and internet web applications, helpdesk and desktop management services, IT project management, digital document management services, strategic outsourcing and e-utility options.
As a subsidiary of IBM Canada Ltd, ISM Canada is a member of IBM Information Technology Services Americas (ITSA) and Global Services. That relationships enables ISM Canada to employ the worldwide resources and capabilities of IBM ─ specially tailored for our clients’ unique and evolving IT needs.
For most companies, just keeping pace with technological change and ensuring they have the right talent is a huge challenge, since today’s cost-conscious, hyper-competitive business environment demands constant applications evolution and renewal. That effort can take businesses away from what they do best. And that’s where ISM Canada can provide IT solutions to help our clients achieve both IT and business objectives. On time. On budget. On Demand.
