West Monroe Partners, a U.S.-based, full-service business and technology consultancy with offices in Canada, announced the addition of Capella Technologies, a work cooperative that provides advanced programming services and specializes in secure applications and multimedia for the information technology industry. The addition of Capella Technologies significantly bolsters West Monroe Partners' existing impressive credentials in Internet design, content management, customer development and Web hosting capabilities in North America.

Founded on a philosophy of client satisfaction, high industry standards and novel processes, the award-winning Capella Technologies has an established reputation for developing cutting-edge solutions through proprietary products such as the Capella Dynamic Edition and Capella Intranet that enhance programming, online collaboration, integration and hosting needs in Web services.

Since its inception in 2002 in Chicago, West Monroe Partners has experienced steady growth that spans a wide range of skills and capabilities across industries and extends throughout cities in the US and Canada. Named one of Chicago's 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For by the National Association of Business Resources, the company brings top-shelf thinking and talent to services from supply chain consulting services and customer relationship management (CRM) services to enterprise integration services and a full range of technology strategy and implementation offerings.

The combination of the two organizations will greatly boost West Monroe Partners' presence in the Montreal market, improving the efficiency of services and resources available to clients.

"We are extremely excited to help grow the Internet solutions and customer relationship management space in the Montreal market as part of West Monroe Partners," said Jean-Michel David, co-founder of Capella Technologies.
