News Release
April 1st, 2004
Wiz-Tec announces deal to provide annual service and support
for the NSIFTE
(Nova Scotia Indian Fuel Tax Exemption) Program.
Calgary, Alberta, April 1, 04 – Wiz-Tec Computing Technologies
Inc. announced today that the Provincial Government
of Nova Scotia has chosen Wiz-Tec as its exclusive service and support
provider in conjunction with the NSIFTE Program.
Wiz-Tec expects to focus more of its business efforts on Indian tax exemption
programs in future, and the Nova Scotia
Government, in partner with the First Nations members in its province,
is a key customer in Wiz-Tec’s efforts to build
out the software services they offer. There is a high degree of interest
in Wiz-Tec tax exemption programs, and the
response from the First Nations communities has been very positive.
“Nova Scotia, and specifically the people working for the government
in the SNSMR (Service Nova Scotia Municipal
Relations) department are forward thinking, and very hardworking individuals
who see the benefits capable of being achieved
with Wiz-Tec technologies. They are doing a great job for the tax-payers
of their province, and the First Nations members”,
comments Wiz-Tec’s VP of Operations and Director of Corporate Development,
William Macdonell. “It has been a
challenging and exciting opportunity to be working so closing with a government
agency so focused on delivering
systems and solutions that solve problems, and save taxpayer money. That’s
what Wiz-Tec products are all about,
efficeincy, and value for money spent”.
Wiz-Tec Computing Technologies Inc. was founded in 1990, and its corporate
head office is based out of Calgary, Alberta,
Canada. In 1992, Wiz-Tec was already involved in POS projects, when it
realized that significant components of the Retail
Gas Industries POS (Point of Sale) product were lacking components that
were crucial to the ability of the retailer to run their
business effectively. So Wiz-Tec began building the necessary modules
required to provide a 100% solution.
Since that time Wiz-Tec has sold its software, directly and through dealers,
to over 1500 sites in Canada and the US, as well
as developed new, more sophisticated software with applications in Government,
Fleet card, and Small Business
environments. We have customers that do not even know they run our software.
Today, Wiz-Tec is working hard towards quickly becoming a major player
in the Canadian claims industry, as well as
creating economical, easy to deploy solutions for Fleet card and loyalty
based retail programs. Wiz-Tec’s greatest efforts
are centered around innovative applications for existing technologies
in order to breath new life into them, while creating
cost effective solutions for our customers, both new and old.
Wiz-Tec maintains over 1.5 million lines of source code in over 20 software
products, some of which are as popular today
as the day they were released
