About Us
The Ontario Small and Medium Business Coalition (OSMBC) is the voice of small and medium Information Technology (IT) companies in Ontario. Our members specialize in providing Information Technology services and / or products to the Public and Private sectors in Ontario and help drive innovation in Ontario.
Unlike other organizations, the OSMBC is the only group that exclusively speaks for small and medium-sized IT providers. Our members are located in communities across Ontario where they employ thousands of people in skilled jobs – helping to strengthen both local communities and the local economy.
The OSMBC’s mission is to help foster and develop a competitive information technology (IT) environment where small and medium businesses can grow, innovate and prosper.
We provide our extensive membership with advocacy, networking, newsletters, and other benefits to help strengthen the sector and ensure we guide develop procurement and policies that help them thrive here at home and around the world.
The OSMBC is focused on advocating for our members regarding current and long-term issues and challenges in the landscape, such as maintaining the existing ON-Demand IT Services Vendor of Record (VOR) process; to ensure small and medium IT providers continue to compete, succeed and provide outstanding services.
