Fresche Solutions, the world's leading provider of IBM i application management and modernization solutions, was recognized as one of Montreal's Top Employers. This is the fourth year in a row that Fresche has been chosen as one of the most employee-friendly and forward-thinking companies in the region. Fresche provides all of the following and more for employees:

  • Opportunity for advancement: Fresche has a promote-from-within policy, and as the world leader in IBM i solutions with rapidly-accelerating growth, opportunity for advancement is everywhere.
  • Education: Fresche employees update their skills through a variety of in-house training programs, tuition subsidies for job-related courses and subsidies for professional accreditation.
  • Worldwide strategic partnerships: Working at Fresche means having close, dynamic relationships with some of the most important IT firms in the world, including IBM.
  • Flexible working model: Employees enjoy flex time and the ability to work from home two days per week. The attractive downtown setting in a historic old-port building is close to public transportation, has secure bike parking and is next door to a variety of restaurants and services.

Maria Anzini, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Fresche, commented that "Fresche now has well over 400 employees world-wide, with more than 150 in Montreal. The size of our Montreal office alone has doubled in the past 18 months as job-seekers and our market begin to realize what an innovative, energized and dynamic organization we are. It starts with employee satisfaction and success, which then acts as a catalyst for business success. Before long, the two feed off each other, and growth accelerates at an astonishing rate. We're now IBM's partner for any company running IBM i, as our expertise in the IBM i application modernization and management space is unparalleled."

Robert Heroux, Fresche's Chief Commercial Officer, says that "Fresche is now the central player in the IBM i community, and room for employee and business growth is unlimited. We're at 200% of our fiscal plan this year with two months to go, and new contracts and global demand are driving significant hiring around the world. We have over 60 openings for RPG, Synon and Java developers, in addition to QA analysts, project managers and software engineers. It's a fantastic time to be at Fresche. We appreciate our employees and do everything we can to nurture their growth so that they truly enjoy their work and transmit their enthusiasm to customers."

No matter where you are in your career - or where you are in the world - you can make a significant contribution at Fresche if you are enthusiastic and ready for growth. We have consistently been chosen one of Montreal's Top Employers, but our benefits and philosophy extend worldwide to our many Fresche offices. Our diversified cultures around the world are a vital part of our success.
