Canadian Board Diversity Council (CBDC) Chooses InfoTech Solutions for Business for the Diversity 50 2013 Application Process Project

    NEW YORK, NY, May 08, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- InfoTech, a leading software house and system solutions company, has completed and delivered CBDC with a customized white labeled version of the Diverse Director Data Source system (also known as 3D) to support CBDC's Diversity 50 2013 Application process.

The Diversity 50 is a brand new resource for directors and search firms. It is Canada's first-ever database of qualified diverse men and women from across Canada with strong competencies that align with the requirements of many Canadian boards (www.boarddiversity.ca/diversity-50).

The customized solution also includes a public view of all the Diversity 50 winners from all previous years as well as a customized "Candidate Search" feature that allows authorized users to search through the current year's approved candidate's pool. This customization solution improves the Diversity 50 application process as well as the monitoring of the approved candidates.

Peter Housley, CBDC's CMO stated, "The new application delivered by InfoTech provides Canadian Board candidates the ability to register directly via the Web to the Diversity 50 2013 program, bypassing the long and tedious process of mail registration." Mr. Housley added, "We always enjoy working with InfoTech, their products are consistently developed on time and within budget."

Matti Kon, InfoTech's President and CEO stated "We are thankful for the opportunity to work with a company like CBDC which is driven by the pursuit of diversity for the business community in Canada." Mr. Kon added, "It has been a pleasure to work with CBDC and we look forward to working with them on additional opportunities in the future."
