"CONPUTE has received several benefits as a VTN charter member. We have developed many infrastructure enhancements by networking with peers and sharing best practices. The Invitational workshops have been instrumental in us developing our professional services and managed services practices. VTN has allowed us to attract and retain larger clients to sustain growth. Honestly, if it wasn’t for our partnership with VTN, I do not know where CONPUTE would be today".
Don Conaby, president, CONPUTE, Oshawa, ON.

"The VentureTech Network gives my company a significant competitive advantage in my local market by expanding my sales and service offerings, by leveraging technical core competencies of member partners. It also gives me access to technology solutions and training, valuable manufacturer and executive relationships, and business resources which allows me to grow my business more efficiently than my competitors"
Bernie Bourgeois, Chairman, CompuVision Systems Inc., Edmonton, AB

"Over the last eight years, the Venture Tech Network has given WBM a unique opportunity to grow our business and learn from other solution providers across North America. The invitationals and chapter meetings have allowed us to strengthen our existing manufacturer partnerships as well as develop new partnerships with manufacturers. Most importantly though, we have become part of a community of VARs who can openly share ideas, solve problems and work together to secure new business opportunities that we wouldn't be able to tackle on our own. The ROI has been very significant."
JoeAnne Hardy, co-president, VTN Advisory Council, President, WBM Office Systems, Saskatoon, SK

"The VTN organization has helped me grow my business significantly. From increased manufacturer partnerships to the ability to partner with members on a national scale, the VentureTech Network provides a competitive advantage for my business".
Larry Poirier, CEO, Nitro Microsystems, Ottawa, ON

"Outside of the vast North American partnerships we have established, VTN has offered Insite a great benefit of sharing best practices with other members, allowing our company to garner expertise from companies who have already experienced the challenges faced with new technological offerings. Insite has been both, able to change the way we do business, as well as share our expertise with other members, through VTN Invitationals, local chapter meetings and one on one informal meetings. VTN is one of the few organizations where true competitors feel very comfortable sharing their business ideas in great detail".
Doron Kaminski, VP Operations/Business Development, Insite Computer Group, Markham, ON
