Mr.Telford said Onix was named Google’s global search partner of the year last year, but was not able to penetrate the Canadian market, thanks to CT Partners.

“They were looking to expand into the Canadian market and it was a perfect fit for us as we were looking to expand into the other product suites such as Google Apps and Google Geo and Google Cloud so it’s a perfect fit.”

“Through the Google Enterprise Partner program, Onix and CT Partners help change the way employees connect, collaborate and grow in organizations of various sizes. I look forward to seeing how these two companies continue to support businesses of all sizes across Canada,” he said in a statement.
