Post Event - Summary

Onsite at D.E. Systems Ltd

Classification: Computer Sales & Service

 

D.E. Systems Ltd. has been providing technology services in Ontario and Quebec for over 45 years.  Their range of services includes Computer Rentals and Event Technology Services, Computer Network Sales, Service and Support along with the development of software solutions for the event industry.

 

D.E. Systems' commitment to provide innovative information technology solutions to the industry and government has made them one of the largest and most respected Computer Rental Service organizations serving all areas of Canada and the U.S. through its business partners. Their fully integrated approach allows them to meet the expanding needs of their customers' Information Systems requirements to include Rentals, Leases, Sales, Maintenance, Technical Support and complete Network Services.

 

Last week's onsite was a great success with almost twice as many people showing up as had confirmed!

 

François Brunet started his talk by sharing with members D. E. Systems' history and evolution over the last 40 years.  Then he introduced his partner and Vice-President of the company,

David Dugas as well as members of his staff and family that were in attendance.

 

François also talked about D.E. Systems' main focus in computer sales and network maintenance as well as the other areas they deal with including computer rentals, field maintenance and event registration systems. They have an onsite warehouse and approximately 800 computers available for rental and they also offer a remote maintenance service which allows them to fix many of their client's computer issues without being onsite.

 

François informed members that D.E. Systems would be providing all internet services for the new CE Centre currently being built near the airport.  This state of the art event space, opening in January, will replace Lansdown Park.
