Innobec Joins Intermec Partner program
MONTREAL, Quebec (4 February 2010) – Innobec Technologies has recently been invited to join the Intermec Honours Partner program as an ISV Partner, based on their experience developing custom mobile applications for Intermec’s rugged handheld computers, as well as Android, Blackberry, iPhone and other Windows Mobile smartphones.
Patrick Bergeron, co-founder of Innobec Technologies, believes this partnership will be mutually rewarding because of Innobec’s capacity to provide Intermec clients with end-to-end custom solutions, including software development, data synchronization, backoffice integration and ongoing support.
“For most businesses, going mobile is all about efficiency, but a lot of that efficiency can be completely lost if the team in the field is forced to adapt to an off-the-shelf solution. Innobec provides custom software tailored to the unique needs of clients who want tools adapted to the way they do business, not the other way around.”

Innobec supports Haiti
Like millions of people, we were deeply touched to hear of the tragedy in Haiti.
Shortly after the event, Innobec directors launched an internal initiative to match any contribution made to Haiti by any staff member.
We are happy to report that our small team went beyond the call of duty and contributed over 1350$, which our company will match (+1350$) as a donation to UNICEF, and which will also be matched by the Canadian government (+1350$), for a combined amount of over 4000$ devoted to the Haitian cause.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the members of our team. Big thumbs up guys.
Patrick & Stephane.
