In 2016, Cybera partnered with WBM to spearhead its ShareIT program. Its objective was to leverage economies of scope and scale, facilitating the cost-effective access of IT hardware, software, and services across 15 of Alberta’s post-secondary institutions (PSIs).

“This initiative has allowed us, a small Alberta college, to leverage collective price negotiating that would otherwise not be available to us. ShareIT has allowed us to take advantage of its aggressive pricing while still being able to work with our existing value-added reseller, with whom we have done business for many years. So this is win-win-win: we are happy with the pricing; our vendor is happy with the business; and our students get an updated, state-of-the-art wireless network across the whole campus!”

See how WBM’s partnership with Cybera guided the ShareIT program towards lasting results, including significant cost-savings, strengthened negotiation power, and widespread adoption of the ShareIT model.
