Northern Voice & Data Inc has a long history of providing technology solutions to businesses in the north. Of the three divisions within the corporate structure, the interconnect division is the oldest and most recognizable. Created in 1981 with the deregulation of Bell Canada, it has grown to be the largest interconnect company in Northern Ontario. Customer demands for structured cabling within interconnect, fostered the creation of the Cabling division in 2001. With over 20 years of experience in the computer cabling industry, Dave Lammi has grown the division to include many local and national clients. 2004 marked a milestone in the evolution of Northern Voice & Data Inc with the acquisition of the Northern (NTC) division of GEAC. This division brought with it a wealth of knowledge and successes in the IT industry. Focused on network design and implementation it completed the company's evolution to a convergence model.

The corporation has now grown to 30 employees and over 2000 customers within its Sudbury and North Bay branches.

Co-owners, Gates Poulin and Monique Forsyth were recognized for their business acumen in 1997 with the Northern Ontario Business Award for Company of the Year. Further recognition regarding their growth was illustrated in a featured article published in Northern Ontario Business June, 2004 (click here for full article). Community involvement is an integral part of the corporate philosophy. Partners and staff have served as Directors or participants in organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Clubs, Hospital Boards and Hockey Associations.

The corporate business philosophy emphasizes three core values:

• Honesty and integrity – the cornerstone of our relationship with customers and employees.
• Exceptional customer service – focused delivery of service on a timely and professional manner.
• Quality of products – provide our customer with the "Best in Breed" products in all divisions.
