Atlantic Canada's exciting information and communications 
technology industry covers a full range of sectors, including IT and eBusiness consulting, telecommunications, and IT and eBusiness education to name a few.
Atlantic Canada has one of the most competitive business cost environments in the world for companies developing software applications and content for eBusiness solutions, according to KPMG's 2002 Competitive Alternatives Study. The cost of developing software in cities like Moncton, Fredericton and Halifax is significantly less than in cities such as San Jose, Boston and Seattle - nearly 30-percent less in some cases! Companies from all over North America have expanded into Atlantic Canada in recent years to take advantage of the excellent environment for web-based operations, including New York City-based Register.com, EDS Canada, SkillSoft and Xerox Canada.
Atlantic Canada is home to one of the largest clusters of eLearning firms in North America. Their clients include top North American and global organizations, in search of products ranging from custom content development to integrated eLearning solutions. The region's eBusiness industry has also created innovative solutions for government and the health care sector. Atlantic Canada is home to groundbreaking eBusiness and ICT-related research and development, and has the infrastructure in place to facilitate technology transfer.
With existing eBusiness clusters, a large pool of high-tech graduates, leading-edge research facilities, the most competitive business costs among the G-7 countries, and an advanced telecommunications infrastructure, Atlantic Canada is simply the perfect portal for eBusiness.
