Part of Innovia’s business growth in the last three years has been through strategic acquisitions, and it is always exciting to make those announcements. We value welcoming new customers to our company and, just as importantly, welcoming new employees into the Innovia family. I am happy to announce that on August 29, 2022, Innovia Consulting completed the acquisition of the Dynamics Manufacturing Systems Inc (DMSI) NAV/Business Central (BC) practice. DMSI will retain all rights, ownership, and control of its existing ISV practice.

The customer base for this practice is primarily in Canada. Innovia already has staff and customers in Canada and will add additional staff with this acquisition. The acquisition allows us to expand our business footprint in an area we believe has significant growth opportunities.

Innovia has worked with DMSI for many years through its ISV offering. We have seen firsthand the quality of the work provided by DMSI and how our corporate cultures match. When DMSI decided to focus more on their ISV offering, discussions began to determine if we would be interested in taking over the NAV/BC practice. We rapidly completed the acquisition when we decided that the fit was good.

We look forward to continuing the excellent service provided by DMSI to their NAV/BC customers and continuing to grow our company with the business from Canada.
