In local Ottawa news, a merger between two of our more prominent suppliers has just taken place. Outsourced R&D group Macadamian has acquired user experience design firm Maskery and Associates. The Macadamian team had looked at building their own UE group about a year ago, and has apparently decided that bringing a seasoned team in house makes more sense.Â
Congratulations to both!

Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
