Over 30 years, the IT field has changed dramatically. In that time, the digital landscape has remade itself several times over. Yet, we're still proud to be a part of our partners' business journey, guiding them through this disruptive world of IT, one that is changing at an ever-increasing rate.
It's 1984, and the Apple Macintosh has just been introduced to the market. Imagetext's three founders are faced with a monumental decision: continue down the existing typesetting track, or forge a new path into the strange "digital" typesetting landscape. Keep in mind the concept of a "World Wide Web" had yet to be developed, so there was little idea that this technology would evolve into the global network we have today. Fortunately for Imagetext, the decision to strike out on this new path was the right choice, yet it hasn't always been smooth sailing.
We credit our ability to weather 30 years of change and remain a market leader in the IT industry to the close partnership with our clients. We take pride in forming relationships that span over two decades – it's our dedication to long-term partnerships that has been key to flourishing in the digital world.
Our biggest asset, which has kept Imagetext ahead in a highly competitive industry, is our talented staff. We're a close-knit team, where 65% of us have been with the company for 12 plus years. Inclusion and diversity are an intrinsic part of our culture – we have a mix of diverse cultures, and 40% are female.
In addition, professional development is fostered as a matter of course for the betterment of both ourselves and our partners. Ongoing training helps us ensure Imagetext stays light on its feet and provides the right IT consulting advice to assist businesses to grow and improve productivity.
