iCompass and Datanet Announce Strategic Partnership
KAMLOOPS, BC & MARKHAM, ON — iCompass Technologies (iCompass) and Datanet Imaging Systems (Datanet) announced today that they have negotiated a joint business agreement to better serve local government and other public agencies across North America. In Canada, Datanet will act in a sales agency capacity on behalf of iCompass. In the United States, Datanet will re-sell, deploy and support iCompass services as a private label.
“We are thrilled that a company of Datanet’s experience and reputation has determined that our CivicWeb products represent the most flexible and easy to use solutions to address the meeting management and tracking needs of local governments and public agencies big and small,” said Todd Stone, iCompass President & CEO. “The coming together of our two companies represents a great culture fit of two organizations that are equally dedicated to customer success, integrity and teamwork,” added Stone.
“Working together will enable both companies to deliver the most positive outcomes possible for our customers,” said George Sparrow, Datanet Principal. “This relationship really demonstrates what the power of two similar-minded ‘best of breed’ organizations can deliver to customers when working together. By partnering with iCompass, we can expand our municipal offerings and provide our customers with the most innovative and effective solutions at competitive prices. We decided to form this partnership because of the level of integrity we have seen from iCompass, their fiercely loyal and credible customer base, and their inherent ability to mesh consistently with the Canadian government structure,” added Sparrow.

About iCompass Technologies
Serving over 400 local government, post-secondary, school district and other public sector customers across North America for almost 12 years, iCompass provides CivicWeb and AcademicWeb, the leading web-based Meeting Management & Tracking Solutions. iCompass services streamline the entire meeting process within one system, while reducing paper consumption, utilizing ‘smart’ templates and electronic approval processes, and enabling the shifting of time savings to tackle other priorities.
Unlike competitive systems, iCompass’ services include an integrated TRACKING component that provides real-time and complete visibility into what’s going on across the entire organization thus ensuring everyone knows what’s actionable and where things are at. iCompass customers save considerable staff time and distribute meeting information by up to 75% faster. As well, iCompass’ customers typically realize a first year Return on Investment (ROI) of approximately 9 months PLUS on-going savings each and every year thereafter, in part due to our SaaS delivery model.
