About IOSi

WHO WE ARE

We celebrate our 25th year!  Internal Office Solutions Inc. (IOSi) was founded in 1998, formed as a private Joint-Stock Company in February 2001 in Ottawa, Ontario Canada, and since then holds leading positions in the Canadian market for systems integration. IOSi develops practical computing solutions and implements projects of countrywide scale. IOSi creates information systems where practical experience of system integration, state-of-the-art technologies and the most up-to-date hardware and software products are consolidated.

Our comprehensive approach to project implementation, utilization of the most reliable equipment and software produced by leaders of the North American computer market, as well as the professionalism of our Certified staff enables IOSi to succeed in a competitive marketplace.

IOSi became the first WatchGuard Certified Training Partner (WCTP) in Canada, and the first Partner in Canada to reach the ‘Expert Partner' level. Over ten years later, IOSi is still the only company in Canada which provides training in multiple provinces.

Why are the dental and medical community, as well as the private and public sector doing business with IOSi? It is the commitment of IOSi to maintain relations of mutual confidence and partnership with its customers, and this contributes to prolongation and further extension of this cooperation.
