As a technology agnostic consulting provider, Prosum does not resell hardware or software. By not having direct business ties to specific products and solutions, we are better able to provide unbiased advice and determine the best fit for our customers’ unique needs. However, since many of our clients see great value in tightly coordinating the hardware and licensing elements of a given solution with Prosum’s services, Prosum has partnered with Softchoice.
Softchoice helps North American businesses and organizations of all sizes select, acquire and manage their software and hardware technology needs. Softchoice achieved the designation as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies by Deloitte & Touche in both 2003 and 2002.
