PROGRESSIVE GROWTH IN NORTH
AMERICA
Sacha Lostun was one of BIT’s
original team members, and recalls
that the company was filling a much-
needed gap in the marketplace at the
time, specifically in Northern Ontario.
“
When the company started the cus-
tomer base was small business, and
our business was concentrated in the
Hudson Bay area. Back then it was just
myself and a couple of other employ-
ees—over 50 people work for the com-
pany now,” Lostun remembers.
“
We began expanding our cus-
tomer base following doing successful
business in the education sector, and
many municipal and federal govern-
ment clients,” he says.
At the time, competition was nil
for the types of services BIT was offer-
ing, because of the remoteness of the
marketplace (further north than other
companies would go in the IT space).
Now, the company has seen many
years of success by providing prod-
ucts that are related to continuous use
The company provides onsite installation for companies all
over the world--wherever their expertise is necessary.
