As opposed to other types of Marketing, Search Engine Optimization is a finite undertaking requiring a one-time upfront investment, with minimal maintenance in the future. Having been properly implemented once, it begins producing outstanding results very quickly and continues to bring generous rewards for years afterward.

You need to identify users best suited to be your potential customers; you need to instantly attract their attention and then retain it throughout a number of pages; you need to prompt them with timely and appropriate "calls to action"; and finally, you need to "convince" your users to click, review, and fill out your order or registration forms. We help you accomplish these tasks by executing rigorous time-tested methodology that has helped our clients generate sales through their websites in as quickly as four weeks. Our Web Marketing and Search Engine Optimization services are geared toward one single goal: to help you attract potential customers and generate sales through your website as quickly as possible.

CANADIAN MARCONI COMPANY

Our Company

Marconi plc is a global communications and information technology company that provides the superhighways for information traffic to move rapidly from origin to destination.

Most people use a phone, watch television or surf the Internet and don't think about how sound, pictures or words actually travel through these mediums.

For example, how is someone, thousands of miles away, able to hear your voice over the phone? How does information get transferred from your computer to a business’s computer on the other side of the globe, or from the Internet to your computer? Well, the simple answer is Marconi makes it happen.

We provide the software and hardware for building the superhighways that enable sound, video, computer data or other information traffic to travel rapidly to you.

Marconi plc has research and development facilities in 19 countries, manufacturing operations in 16 countries, and serves customers in over 100 countries. Marconi delivers innovative solutions that transform communications networks.

Headquartered in London, Marconi was listed on the London Stock Exchange in November 1999. However, Marconi’s heritage stems back to the 1900s with Guglielmo Marconi, the Nobel Prize winner and wireless communication pioneer.

Since those early days Marconi has led the way in many areas of communication and continues to do so today.

Within public networks, Marconi is a major supplier of optical networking in the area of synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) technology.

Countries currently upgrading their communications infrastructure with a Marconi solution include France, Holland, Belgium and the United Kingdom - as well as two of the world's largest networks, in Australia and the People's Republic of China.

Marconi is also providing a reliable network foundation for the core of the Internet, with customers including Cable & Wireless, UUNET Technologies, Level 3 Communications, MCI/WorldCom and Qwest.

Our Oracle and Unix expertise, in addition to our Internet database development services, provides us with a competitive advantage in the high-tech arena.

    We have maintained a close association with Oracle Corporation over the years by providing contract instructors. EIS owes its Oracle expertise to a long, association with Oracle Education. Bryden Currie, Director of Education for Oracle Canada, says "EIS personnel have given us great service over the years, across the country. Their technical knowledge and professionalism are their key strengths.

    Many training organizations employ people exclusively as instructors; not EIS. Our motto is: "software developers make better instructors and instructors make better software developers." In preparing to teach, EIS developers expand their knowledge in both depth and breadth. "There is a motivator – fear of speaking in front of a group," says Jim Miles. He adds, "There is no substitute for experience when speaking in the classroom. Students of EIS instructors benefit from our real-world knowledge."

    By hiring, training, and employing EIS staff for both development and instructors duties, we have developed a very high standard of practical Oracle expertise. "TEACHING while DOING" is mutually reinforcing; what our instructors learn in preparation for teaching is brought to the development area. Lessons learned during development are presented in the classroom.

    As Oracle Database Developers, we concentrate on building a library of software components. We compete for business opportunities that allow us to leverage our expertise and experience in Oracle Database Development.

    • Globally recognized and called upon by organizations in the US, the UK, Norway and Korea for its comprehensive and proven Risk Management and IT Security expertise, particularly in the areas of PKI and Registration Management.
    • Achieved 40% revenue growth, developed and delivered over 300 e-business solutions and filled more than 30 new full-time positions, despite the extremely uncertain cycles this industry has experienced in the last year.

    Our outlook for 2002 is extremely positive, as we kick off the New Year and launch the newly integrated company, which will be called Qunara Inc.

    Those of you familiar with Exocom can expect to see the name and Exocom brand transition to Qunara over the course of the next few months. While the Exocom brand became known for excellence in service delivery and quality, we want to further develop Qunara’s brand identity to reflect the momentum, innovation and agility of the combined organizations.

    Qunara is a company strategically architected to be versatile and responsive to the needs of today's client. As an employee based organization now 260 strong, we continue to grow a solid and experienced team, with exceptional credentials and references. A breadth of service capability and years of proven experience stand ready to address the priority technology needs of clients as they strive to gain business advantage.

    We thank our clients, partners and all key stakeholders for rewarding us with your continued trust and confidence. We believe that moving forward, you will be pleasantly surprised by what we have built and encouraged by the value Qunara can deliver, as an innovative organization grounded by solid and proven business fundamentals. In the coming months you can expect several announcements related to the exciting events taking place at Qunara and I encourage you to visit the new web site, which will launch by the end of January, to discover the differences at Qunara and learn about our fresh-minded approach to e-business.

    * Overall, do they go the extra distance to attract and retain outstanding employees?
    * What charitable work is the company involved with?
