TORONTO, August 2, 2011 — The professional services firm PwC is pleased to announce the addition of new service capabilities in Atlantic Canada with the acquisition of InfoTech Solutions in St. John’s and Moncton.

InfoTech Solutions provides a range of services including IT consulting, business analysis, information architecture, Intranet and Extranet solutions and IT resourcing for midmarket to large-scale organizations.

“The addition of an experienced InfoTech Solutions team will be beneficial to our current and potential new clients that require highly-skilled technology consulting professionals, particularly in the Microsoft consulting area,” says Michael Anaka, Atlantic Region Managing Partner for PwC. “The InfoTech team is a natural fit in PwC’s Atlantic Region – we are currently working closely with them on projects within the public sector and we now have a deeper capability to help East Coast organizations capitalize on their important IT investments.”

The acquisition of Infotech Solutions includes current contracts and approximately 25 people.
