Simnet: SIMpleNETworks

At Simnet, we believe there is a better way to do IT. In fact, we are obsessively passionate about it. In 2005, Simnet was created by CEO and Founder, Ted de Vos, because of the misconception that IT needed to be complicated. We’ve stripped away the complexity to make IT simple – and effective.

Our Story

As a company, our mission is to be recognized as one of Canada’s most significant service companies. How? Simple! By providing the best service possible. We want each client to feel valued like they are our only customer. We believe providing excellent service and creating happy customers is the way to create a valuable, enduring company that people love.

A dedicated leadership team

Michelle Hamer

Administrative Director

Michelle Hamer is our Director of Administration in charge of all things financial. After spending eight years working in the financial industry, she took a very important role called “mom” and focused solely on this for nearly eight years. Ready to re-enter the workforce but not wanting to be too far from her flock, she joined Simnet, a local IT company. After a seven-month contract and proving that her background in Human Resources was an added asset to the company, she joined full time and never looked back. “I truly love the variety that a smaller company offers. I can be sitting with senior management workforce planning in the morning and working directly with our clients in the afternoon. I love knowing that the decisions I make have a direct impact.”

Michelle holds a BA from Wilfred Laurier University with her post-graduate certification in Human Resources.

Jim brings compassion, trust, and integrity to Simnet as well as a keen ability to understand and deliver on customer requirements and best of breed Cloud, Cyber Security as a Service, and Managed Service solutions.

Since Covid, Jim has missed the human touch element of the customer engagement lifecycle and can’t wait to sit across a table with business leaders across Canada!
