Technical Lead

About IMC

IMC has been working with companies in North America and the UK since its founding in 2004. IMC’s main focus is website development, including eCommerce, to some of Canada’s biggest companies.

IMC approaches solutions from the human side of the equation, not the software side. We focus on the user’s and client’s needs so that the software and processes we build support them. To accomplish this, we apply principles from human psychology, anthropology and culture to drive the solution. By taking this approach, IMC has been able to build and implement systems and processes that our clients’ staff actually like to use, which makes them more efficient and effective.
