May 1st marks the start of 10 years in business for Toronto-based imason inc. Starting out in a humble office (i.e. basement) in Etobicoke, imason’s first paid project was for writing an article for Microsoft’s MIND magazine titled, “Make Your Legacy Apps Work on the Internet”. Since then we’ve grown to 40 people in a renovated space in the Entertainment District working on projects with many of Canada’s top companies. There have been numerous accomplishments worth noting over the years – awards, customer wins, technology firsts, and recognition from many sources. And all the while we’ve been teaching and helping our clients, and learning from them too.

Founders Jeff Dunmall and Scott Howlett sought to create ‘the best place to work’ in 1999, and have succeeded in attracting top talent who exemplify imason’s original mantra: experience, focus and passion. Although we’re a diverse team of skilled professionals who have many interests outside of imason, we’re bound by an enthusiasm for learning. We’re voracious consumers of information and we love solving the tough problems related to business IT strategy, programming, infrastructure and user experience.

We’ve got a lot to be proud of as a team, and you can bet that we’re heartily celebrating reaching the 10 year mark with Jeff and Scott. Every single person at imason helped us get here, and contributes to accomplishments that enable us to celebrate our core purpose: To revel in dramatically impacting our customers, our company, and each other. But we also wouldn’t be here without our valued customers, some of whom we’ve worked with for many years and others who we’re just getting to know on new projects. The relationships we’ve formed with you, and the challenges you’ve trusted us to solve, are two other important reasons we look forward to getting out of bed and coming to work every morning.  
 
Cheers to our customers, our company, and each other!
