Ward Associates is an innovative Canadian Staffing company serving the needs of the Information Technology community through consulting and staffing services. The goal of Ward Associates is to offer excellent service and the highest of integrity to the business community while maximizing the potential of individuals and corporations alike.

Peter J. Ward, president and founder of Ward Associates, believes that “the world around us is quickly realizing that the resolute answer to providing the competitive edge in today’s technological trends is skill. This skill must be made available ‘just in time’ with a predictable high quality and level of productivity. The less social, political and off-target distractions the better. This skill, moreover, is delivered only by PEOPLE.”

Information and knowledge are not only the foundation but true tangible assets for the beckoning future. Since 1978 Ward Associates has positioned itself with a veritable “gold mine” of information germane to the Information Technology professionals who are moving into and shaking the “new economy.” As Nuala Beck, a leading Canadian economist, claims in her recent number one best seller, Shifting Gears, the engine of the ‘90s and beyond is the “chip.” The cheaper the microchip gets, the faster we go, and the further we go!

Ward has quickly been accepted as a “benchmark” or “model” to the Information Technology world of staffing. A sophisticated tracking system integrated to a unique service-driven delivery process in a true team environment completes Ward’s impressive infrastructure. Ward Associates correctly offers a unique blend of Information Technology Consulting and Strategic Staffing Initiatives with one purpose: to allow clients to focus truly on their respective core businesses while having the flexibility to react quickly to new market opportunities or fluctuating business cycles without costly repercussions.

Ward’s success is no secret: this all-Canadian company unconditionally treats others as they themselves would want to be treated. Ward’s corporate commitment reinforces this philosophy: “Provide the best IT solutions; Provide the best service and valuable advice; Contribute to our industry and community. We challenge each other to develop an enjoyable, fulfilling, prosperous workplace.”
