Leading cloud solutions provider Onix is expanding its footprint in Canada to better serve its existing customer base as well as address growing demand for its services.
The Lakewood, Ohio-based company is planning to open an office in Montreal and continue purposely growing the staff throughout Canada to keep up with demand. Onix -- which also has offices in Toronto and Ottawa -- already has 10 employees in the greater Montreal area, all of which are bilingual or trilingual.
A Greater North American Reach
"Onix has had a strong presence in Canada for more than 25 years," said Tim Needles, Onix President and CEO. "We have brick-and-mortar offices in Toronto and Ottawa, and adding another office in Montreal will allow us to better serve existing and new customers.”
“A real physical presence adds to our value proposition and offers our valued customers an additional layer of commitment. Customers want to know that if they have questions, they can talk to a real person in a real office.”
This announcement comes less than a month after Onix received the 2018 Google Cloud North American Reseller Partner of the Year award for its achievements in the Google Cloud ecosystem.
Onix was specifically recognized by Google for helping the City of Montreal move to the cloud from dated legacy systems by developing custom infrastructure and workplace cloud solutions. The city wanted to modernize its email to a high-performing, cost-effective, cloud-based solution for 25,000+ employees. City officials wanted to give employees an efficient, secure platform that also promoted mobility and information sharing.
Onix was founded in 1992 and has been a Google partner since 2001, offering planning, deployment and ongoing support and services for the entire suite of Google Cloud solutions. This includes G Suite, Google Cloud Platform, Cloud Search and Google Maps Platform. Onix also offers its own line of cloud solutions and also provides custom application development.
