IT Advantages

Canadian vs. U.S. Costs

  • Costs for Canadian Cities are generally 4 to 15% lower than for their regional U.S. counterparts.

  • Overall costs in all Canadian cities are lower than in every city studied in the continental United States. (Even higher-cost Canadian cities such as Toronto and Vancouver rank slightly ahead of the lowest-cost continental U.S.cities.)
Most Generous R&D Tax Credits in the Industrialized World

Ontario offers the most generous R&D tax treatment in the industrialized world, which includes immediate full write-offs for all expenditures in R&D capital equipment and appreciable tax credits.

Researchers at our 45 universities and colleges have international stature in virtually every area of the industry including fibre optics and photonics.

Two Centers of Excellence–Communications and Information Technology Ontario (CITO) and Photonics Research Ontario (PRO)–encourage innovation, as well as commercialization of our leading-edge technologies.

Outsourcing Application Development Services provide for lower costs, sound project management, and less IT staff requirements. While outsourcing may be cheaper than nearshore outsourcing, our lower business costs, and compatible culture make for a compelling reason to consider Ontario’s value advantage.

Application Maintenance for mission critical applications requires real-time support around the clock. Time zone considerations, our politically stable environment supported by a proven extensive infrastructure, and business compatibility make Ontario a very attractive nearshore alternative for outsourcing Application Maintenance.

Devising a digital strategy given the pace of Internet innovation can be an intimidating task. In this climate, it's essential to glean the best from other companies’ experiences as business evolves. Leading providers of customized E-Business solutions in design, development and integration coupled with an extensive technological infrastructure provide a very appealing Ontario e-business outsourcing opportunity.
