Digitalembrace Launches New Website!
June 10, 2010Digitalembrace has entirely revamped their website to coincide with our next 10 years of business. The new “look and feel” simplifies navigation for visitors, yet provides more pertinent information at your finger tips.
Based on our Sharepoint expertise, the entire site is managed as via a Content Management System based on Microsoft Sharepoint. This will enable seamless and timely updates to ensure all information is current, while also letting different departments publish their own sections on the fly.
The site features new graphics, new Project-based Solutions, new services, and new features for job seekers, while retaining the feel of the old tried-and-true dependability you have come to know over the past 10 years.
Digitalembrace Builds Health HR Data Repository
May 31, 2010Digitalembrace delivered a Sharepoint-based project to build a secure data repository to collect, validate, store, and analyze Health Human Resources data for the Ontario Community Support Association. This project commenced in late summer 2009 and now houses HR information on over 7,000 employees and 32,000 volunteers, in 200 organizations, spanning all 14 LHINs in Ontario. Data elements include: Salaries, Ages, Gender, Benefits, Vacation, and Services, and how they interrelate to one another.
The information is invaluable because there is no other repository that houses this type of information from so many different organizations. Digitalembrace has leveraged their technical expertise in the .Net space to ensure this data was collected and stored in a secure manner for data integrity, and built a flexible reporting engine to extract out pertinent information for the proper analysis.
Currently Digitalembrace is finalizing its analysis and working with the experts at OCSA to properly interpret the data. The final report will be released by OCSA in the near future, and will enable the Community Support sector to properly plan their future HR strategies.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployed.
April 27, 2010Digitalembrace proudly announces another successful deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
An Ontario government agency required a flexible and extensible solution to track and manage stakeholder relationships, events and email mailing lists.
Our CRM consultants were able to gather requirements and use Microsoft Dynamics CRM customization tools to extend the CRM solution with additional data elements and functionality in just over a month.

Digitalembrace at Showcase Ontario 2009
September 22, 2009
Digitalembrace was an exhibitor at the 2009 Showcase Ontario trade show, which high-lights the technological achievements of the provincial government and their vendor partners. As a trusted partner of the Ontario Government for over 10 years, Digitalembrace’s exhibit highlighted our many successful IT projects in both the public and private sectors.
During the 2 days, we had over 900 participants attend our booth. Our “Prize Wheel” provided a chance for all visitors to walk away with one or more of the 1300 “thank you items” given out. The laptop bags and “Green” treats were crowd favourites! There were also 17 separate draws for memory sticks. Showcase 2009 also gave a kick-start to our new branding strategy associated with Youthful Forward-Thinking, Innovative Approaches, and Dependable Technologies. This strategy was supported by our new “Go-Get-Green” motto and our Black&Green coloured uniforms.
Some of the projects highlighted at the show include our OPS Website Conversions (MTO, MOH) our Sharepoint migrations and implementations (MCS, OCSA), and our Google-maps Sharepoint system TRIP (MTO). Digitalembrace thoroughly enjoyed the time we had with our existing clients, and meeting new ones. Please come visit us at Showcase 2010 in September!
