Our History xwave was established in 2000 through the merger of xwave solutions and MITI Information Technology Inc. MITI was formed in 1993 from the IT division of J.D. Irving Inc., and experienced rapid growth through the merger with Datacor/ISM and the acquisitions of Keltic Technologies and Galahad Information Systems. xwave solutions (now known simply as xwave) was formed in 1999 with the merger of Minerva Technology, Paragon Information Systems, NewTel Information Solutions, and the IT Division of MTT. Both xwave solutions and MITI were subsidiaries of Aliant Inc. and had a history of success in their marketplaces. After xwave was established, the company acquired Software Kinetics, PRIOR Data Sciences, ICON Data Systems, and integrated the IT Divisions of Aliant's telecommunications companies. The company also expanded into the United States, by acquiring the offices of TechKnowledge in New England, and into Ireland through the opening of a Dublin office. In 2004 xwave acquired the Atlantic operations of Fujitsu Consulting (Canada) Inc., resulting in a much larger team of senior business consultants and solution architects. In 2005, xwave opened a new office in the Washington DC area to support government-sector growth around its public safety and emergency management offerings. In 2006, xwave transitioned to become a Division of Bell Aliant Regional Communications L.P. (TSX: BA.UN) as a result of an Income Trust agreement.
