New media and communications incubator Itemus Inc, Toronto, has turned one of its latest acquisitions, Ottawa-based Intrasoft Technologies Inc, into the sharp end of its corporate stick. With over a dozen companies under the Itemus Inc investment umbrella, the new unit – now named Itemus Solutions Inc – will serve as the pivot around which the disparate technologies in the group will revolve. Executives say it will act as an information broker both facilitating communications between member companies and for the group as a whole to provide Internet and application service provider (ASP) services globally.
