A 32-year-old local IT firm that rapidly scaled up its revenues earlier this decade and became an official partner of this year’s Canada 150 celebrations in Ottawa is coming under new ownership.
Northern Micro, which provides IT hardware – including client devices such as notebooks and desktops as well as data centre infrastructure – and software, says it’s been purchased by Converge Technology Partners.
Northern Micro president Herman Yeh and other members of the company’s senior management team will continue in their current roles.
