Compugen - Our Story
Our Story
Founded in 1981 by current President and CEO Harry Zarek, Compugen is one of
Canada's largest privately-owned and operated IT services providers and PC systems
integrators. Compugen provides practical, real-world solutions and a comprehensive
customer-focused portfolio of support services.
Compugen has developed industry-leading TCO consulting expertise and has
adopted industry-recognized TCO assessment tools and ITIL methodologies
in order to measure, understand, refine and fully implement our own "best
practices". In keeping with our best practices approach, we developed
a Web-enabled IT lifecycle management software tool, Compugen eMerge, initially
as a product catalogue and procurement engine that streamlined our own product
lifecycle management. Today, eMerge is used by more than 200 customers for
a full range of IT management functions. Our TCO focus, supported by in-house
tools and ITIL practices, affords our customers measurable cost savings and
improved business processes.
Our consistency of ownership and vision over more than 20 years has enabled
Compugen to build strong alliances with all of the major hardware and software
manufacturers, including IBM, HP, Cisco, and Microsoft, as well as smaller,
more specialized technology companies. The combination of long-term alliances
with major industry players and partnerships with innovative specialists ensures
that the solutions we create for our customers take advantage of both reliable
platforms and state-of-the-art technologies.
With a highly qualified technical staff operating from offices in major business
centres from coast to coast, Compugen provides a full range of solutions and
services to mid- to large-size public and private enterprises.
