Fireminds’ technical skills, plus their sales and service
capabilities, are complementary to Ignition’s.” Graham Pearson,
CEO, Ignition Group

new Senior Vice President, stated that, “Fireminds was growing
rapidly. We recognized that we needed to expand our capabilities
in managed IT in order to support our hosting environment, and
to deliver 24 x 7 operations. The Ignition team was a perfect
fit as they are a recognized leader in 24 x 7 managed IT
support, and provide excellent customer service throughout the
offshore jurisdictions.”
Graham Pearson, CEO of Ignition added, “Ignition is pleased to
be able to serve Fireminds clients with our team of IT
consultants based in Bermuda, Canada, Atlanta and Cayman. The

provide more robust and expanded business continuity and
disaster recovery services; including managed hosting
capabilities and cloud computing platforms owned and managed by
the Ignition group of companies. In addition, Michael W. Branco,
a rising star in the Bermuda business community, is an excellent
