Leaders in Business and Technology Solutions
You…
While other companies look for consultants who are smart, hardworking, and ambitious - left brain focus - Online looks for a balance between the left brain and right brain. Sure, we want smart, hardworking, and ambitious people too, but we also want people who are creative and have a great personality. We want enthusiastic team players. A great sense of humor is an absolute necessity.
Our clients tell us it's that left brain/right brain balance that sets our consultants (a.k.a. Onliners) apart from the rest. Not only are Onliners incredibly bright, but they also have diverse interests and backgrounds, have more to talk about than just shop talk, and quickly earn the respect of those around them.
Even though Onliners are outstanding in their field, it is important to note that they don't let egos get in the way of their work. Their work speaks for itself; no show, no big talk, just a "let's roll up our sleeves" mentality and satisfaction in a job well done. That's why we keep getting asked back to client sites…it's our people.
Us…
It all started in 1986 with one person with one great idea: treat employees and clients fairly and with integrity - all the time, no exceptions.
Today we have seven offices across North America: Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Minneapolis, Portland, and Boston.
We have been recognized internationally through numerous awards from organizations such as Profit Magazine, Deloitte and Touche, Financial Post, Microsoft, and Sonic Software.
We are not technology dependant. So our clients can be confident that we will recommend and implement solutions that are in their best interests. We do that by working with the leading tools and technologies in the industry. Some of our current areas of expertise include: Tibco, Sonic, Vitria, BizTalk, WebMethods, .NET, J2EE, Informatica, Cognos, and Java.

We offer what everyone else offers… and a whole lot more…
Most companies provide a benefits package. Some companies have a bonus program and maybe even a budget for training. Everyone will tell you they offer challenging work with leading edge technologies. So, what's different about Online?
Well, we do provide benefits. And we do have a few bonus programs - project bonuses, technical certification bonuses, travel bonuses, referral bonuses… get the picture? We do provide a budget for training and professional development that our research - and our people - tells us is second to none in the industry. Of course we provide challenging work with emerging technologies on a huge variety of projects in different industry sectors.
Then we get into things like our:
- Collaborative environment where we exchange information and ideas through such venues as WebBoards.
- Career Manager Program that provides mentorship, coaching, and career planning.
- Skills Program that supports and encourages the use of new and existing technologies.
- Lunch and Learns that provide a venue for Onliners to share technology insights and project overviews with each other.
- Methodologies that are continuously updated based on our experience and industry trends.
- Education Services Department that provides a portfolio of technical training.
- Community Recognition Awards that reward Onliners for participating in community events and volunteer activities; making presentations at user groups, conferences, etc.; and writing white papers or articles for publication.
- How to Be an Onliner (HBO) Course that helps Onliners be the best consultants possible. This course is delivered by our senior consultants and management team.
- Atmosphere. It's innovative. It's dynamic. It's progressive. And it's stimulating. We believe in and promote a diverse and supportive environment. Onliners have a passion for what they do. The hum of computers, printers and telephones is matched with sounds of laughter. A sense of humor is mandatory. At Online the environment is casual yet professional.
