You gotta be in it to win it! We’ve all heard that saying before. And, in this case, we’re definitely glad we were in it!

Several weeks back, we saw an article in the Province about a company called Imogo who was holding a contest offering an IT Makeover worth more than $16,000 for the Grand Prize winner!

The contest requested entrants to tell how technology has helped their business over the years. In our company’s “lifetime” there have been major changes in technology that have affected how we complete our work, deliver our service and collaborate with our clients. Long gone are the days of 16-column worksheets and manual writing of financial statements! Ever-evolving software suites have made the bookkeeping process more efficient than ever.

We carefully crafted our technological tale and submitted it for consideration in the contest. Each week when we heard about one of the other prizes being given away, we were – perhaps, strangely – happy that we didn’t win. Our Managing Director said to our staff, “That just means that we’re going to win the Grand Prize!” And, sure enough, we did!

We received a call earlier this week notifying us that we had been selected as the Grand Prize winner for the contest. We are elated! We’re looking forward to working with Imogo as they make over our office’s IT infrastrcture.

The Province is running a follow-up feature article about the contest and our company, so watch for us in this Sunday’s edition!
