nition from Quebec’s Immigration Minister for
how well it has integrated immigrants as em-
ployees. This is due in large part to the fact that
there was not enough experts in the province
in Oracle and Java solutions technologies and
PSA systems, this forced Momentum to look
outside of Canada. The company proudly has
as many as 20 nationalities of employees, and
has predominately hired experienced people
from France, Belgium and Brazil. Another rea-
son that they had to look beyond the borders
of Quebec at least, is that they cannot hire em-
ployees from their clients whom they service
with the very expertise in technology solutions
that they would be trying to recruit to work for
Momentum. Their competition in this regard
has come from very big contributors like CGI
and Futjisu and IBM.
“We invest in a lot of skilled education. We
have to specialize our employees. Expertise is
big for us, and we have had our experts and
clients alike say that they like that and that is
really what has distinguished us from the com-
petition from the very beginning.”
Momentum’s goal is to take that experience
to a global level. Next year the company has
plans to set up an office in Boston, and other
parts of Canada.
“The recent recognition has helped to estab-
lish us as a company on a worldwide level, and
our expertise is leading the way,” said Ganache.
