The 2007 edition of the Ottawa Business Journal’s Book of Lists hits the street this week and Innovapost is well represented; placing 2nd in the “Largest IT Consultants” category and 14th in the “Largest United Way Campaign” category.

The Book of Lists offers a quick reference to the top companies in a host of business categories in Ottawa. It is one of the Ottawa Business Journal’s most popular specialty publications and serves as a definitive source of information in the nation’s capital.

With over 650 employees and contractors in Ottawa, Innovapost ranked second in the Largest IT Consultants category. Innovapost also has an additional 200 employees in offices in Mississauga and Toronto.

Innovapost was also recognized as a top contributor to the 2006 Ottawa-Carleton United Way campaign, placing 14th in the Largest United Way Campaign category. The 535 employees in Ottawa exceeded their goal of $100,000 and donated $198,509 to United Way.

CEO Brendan Timmins commenting on these rankings said, “This recognition shows that Innovapost is making the successful transition from an IT start-up to an enduring fixture in the Ottawa IT business community. This is due largely to the support of our valued customers and the collective hard work of our talented people who are demonstrating an extraordinary confidence in our future.”
