The Story of MIRO Computer Rental Inc.

At the beginning, the rental
In February 1985, two businessmen of Quebec, Marc Pilon and Robert Beauchamp found AMI Informatique inc., a computer sales and repair business. During the same year, a customer asks if he could not rent a computer while his is in repair. Robert decides to buy a computer and rent it. So, the first customer is served, and begins Robert's experience of computer equipment rental.

One thing leading to another, the second and the third computers are bought to answer the demand. Robert lets aside the sale and the repair to take charge only of rental. The rental service so grows with the rest of the company. Michel Morel, a computer technician, is hired in 1997 to work with Robert.

The acquisitions
In 1997, the Québectel Group buys AMI Informatique and changes this one's name for Québectel AMI. Two years later, the business is integrated with three other companies the create Versalys, a Québectel subsidiary. In 2000, it's Québectel's turn to get bought by TELUS. This coming brings Versalys to raise the colors of TELUS colors and change it's name again for TELUS Solutions d'Affaires. Robert, Michel and the computer rental service are integrated to the big TELUS family.

The beginnings of MIRO Computer Rental Inc.
In 2002, TELUS Solutions d’Affaires reorganizes itself and decides to end computer equipment rental. The activity works well but does not integrate in the core business that the company wants to pursue. Robert and Michel, then, wish to continue working in the domain. Having a good knowledge of the computer rental market in Quebec, they decide to buy the equipments and pursue the activities.

So since January first, 2003, MIRO Computer Rental is steered by people who have a continuous experience in the domain: Robert - 20 years, Michel - 8 years. The current customers were able to take advantage of uninterrupted service during the transition.
