How it started. How it’s going. Three decades of fun.

1985: We launched as “Sharper Image Oil and Gas Computer Systems Limited."

A Toronto acquisition program added Datalist and Maxim Group to our family in 2010.

Things kicked into gear around 1991 (and shortened our name); started growing like crazy.

Calgary launched in 1994 as we actively pursued a Western stronghold.

Compliance and consistency demands led to FloThruTM Contractor Payrolling Service in 2001.

2002: We introduced MatchGuideTM, our proprietary tech platform that's better than ever today.

Hello, Toronto! We opened in Canada’s largest market for IT professionals in 2004.

2005: 1st President’s Club trip for top performers. Highlights: Rome, Hawaii, Chennai, Iceland.

We created the Chennai Tech Centre in 2006 to support scalability of core applications.

2014: The Toronto market kept on growing with the addition of Nexstaff and Redwood Global.

Also in 2014, our industry-leading training curriculum emerged: a transformational development.

For more accountability and scalability, S.i. Systems introduced Scaling Up (Gazelles) in 2015.

2018: A seminal step in our growth came with a majority investment from Quad C.

The road to specialization continued with the launch of the cyber security practice in 2020.

2021: The acquisition of culturally similar Annex Consulting Group expanded operations in Vancouver.

Global disruption didn’t stop us from growing 10% in 2021 while keeping employees remote and safe.

Our 2021 hybrid work model (2 days in/3 days out) is solidified as our team continues to grow.

The 2022 acquisition of Eagle Professional Resources makes us the largest Canadian IT staffing agency.

Another 2022 acquisition, of xiBOSS Corporation, creates larger centers of excellence for financial and tech clients.
