Mississauga, Ontario- February 16, 2007
E-ternity Business Continuity Consultants Inc., a Mississauga, Ontario based company that provides comprehensive Business Continuity Solutions to customers in Ontario, today announced that the organization continued its dramatic growth in 2006. E-ternity greatly expanded its customer base, increased its partner portfolio, and expanded its service offerings to solidify their position as a leader in the Canadian Business Continuity Solutions marketplace. E-ternity expanded its customer base by 134% in 2006, acquired new strategic alliance partners such as IBM Global Services, and grew overall gross profit by 29% compared to 2005.
Greg Onoprijenko, E-ternity’s Managing Director of Sales, commented on the organization’s successful year. “E-ternity continues to address incredible demand in the market for affordable, comprehensive Business Continuity Solutions. Whether the customer requires a Business Continuity Plan, a high availability IT infrastructure, continuous voice communications solutions, or all of the above, E-ternity is a single place for them to go.” Michael Aaron, E-ternity’s Managing Director of Services, commented on the organization’s growth in Services. “Our Business Continuity Management Services practice enjoyed explosive growth compared to 2005. And with our customers’ increasing shift towards high availability IT infrastructure, our Data Integrity Services portfolio had a strong year as well. We expect this to continue in 2007.”
In 2006, E-ternity acquired a number of prestigious customers including:
- Callaway Golf Canada Ltd., a world leading manufacturer of golf clubs, golf balls, and golf accessories
- 3M Canada, a worldwide diversified technology company
- Blue Mountain Resorts Limited, Ontario’s largest mountain resort
- Consumer Impact Marketing (CIM), a dynamic North American sales, merchandising, events and promotions management company
- Moneris Solutions Inc., an RBC Royal Bank/Bank of Montreal joint venture and Canada's largest processor of debit and credit card transactions.
With CIM, E-ternity closed the largest IP-One Managed Voice Over IP Solution in TELUS history. CIM’s Manager of IT Operations Sunil Patel commented “E-ternity’s experience in voice communications continuity combined with TELUS’ leadership in the telco space gave us the confidence to move forward with this solution.”
With Blue Mountain, E-ternity helped develop a Disaster Recovery Plan and a high availability IT infrastructure. “It was great to have an organization like E-ternity that covered both the consulting aspect and the technology aspect of this project. This made it easy for us to work with them,” said John Gowers, Blue Mountain’s Director of IT.
E-ternity also made a major strategic alliance addition in 2006, bringing IBM Global Services on as a Tier One partner for their Business Continuity Management Services portfolio. With IBM's experience as a worldwide leader, E-ternity’s opportunity for growth in 2007 is tremendous.
Onoprijenko is optimistic about 2007. “E-ternity matured as an organization in many ways in 2006. Our customer base solidified, our Services business evolved, and a deeper foundation was laid for our key partnerships. With a solid track record and great customer references, E-ternity has truly established itself as a leader in Business Continuity.” “
“Any business looking to improve its ability to navigate through any crisis can benefit from a relationship with E-ternity,” added Aaron.
