ITNovaScotia.com, officially being launched today by partner companies Schooner Solutions and Coverra, is dedicated to becoming the home for news and information about this growing sector of the local economy, without distracting gimmicks.
"ITNovaScotia.com gives those inside and outside of our province a chance to find each other," Schooner Solutions President Mark Langille explains, "it’s more than just enabling businesses to connect with new clients – skilled Nova Scotians who left seeking work elsewhere can see that the IT community is full of opportunities right here at home."
ITNovaScotia.com offers local industry groups free event listings to increase their networking reach within the IT community of Canada’s ocean playground while Nova Scotian firms can include themselves in the industry specific directory or post company news, all free of charge. Site visitors can in turn search the directory for local IT service providers in their city or town, connecting them with businesses right in their own backyard.
"With our extensive directory of IT companies doing business across our province, we hope to show interested parties there’s more to Nova Scotia’s IT community than just the big guys in Halifax," said Coverra’s Devin Cameron, "There is exciting and interesting work being done from Yarmouth to North Sydney, and all points in between."
The ITNovaScotia.com portal is available now at www.ITNovaScotia.com.
