What i2bGlobal does

i2bGlobal Inc. is a privately held Canadian IT consulting and custom software firm headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario, founded in 2001 by Bob Gill (President) and Bogdan Jedrzejewski (Vice President). The firm designs and develops custom websites, e-commerce platforms, content management systems, and bespoke software applications for small-to-mid-sized businesses, real estate agents and brokerages, labor unions, museums, healthcare organizations, environmental monitoring networks, and municipal clients across North America. Its technology stack is built primarily on Microsoft ASP.NET/C#, MS SQL Server, HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript, with proprietary assets including a .NET-based CMS and the i2bStoreFront e-commerce platform; its most distinctive proprietary asset is the Leniac Web Components suite, for which i2bGlobal holds exclusive endorsement from Leniac Systems as the only vendor permitted to deliver real-time web integration with the Leniac Union Management Database.

The company's revenue model is professional services–driven and quote-based, spanning one-time custom development projects (website builds, e-commerce sites, custom software such as pavement asset management, welding certificate management, and air quality reporting systems) bundled with recurring managed services including web hosting, domain registration, SEO, PPC management, social media management, and email marketing. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, anchored by direct website quote requests, free digital marketing audits, BBB and Hamilton Chamber of Commerce credibility, and a referral network built over 25+ years of client relationships. Custom packages are tailored to client needs and budget, with annual subscription tiers available for the Real Estate Website product.

The firm operates with a small team (1-10 employees) and remains bootstrapped with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no external funding. Strategic positioning centers on being a full-service provider managing the complete development lifecycle from requirements gathering through ongoing support, with vertical specialization in the Ontario labor union market via the Leniac partnership, and productized offerings in the real estate vertical. AI capability is limited to optimizing client visibility in third-party generative search platforms (Google AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT) rather than proprietary AI development.
