History
Novus (Latin for ‘new') Consulting Inc. was born in October 2000, created by Shamus Bowker and Jeremy Denegar, two IT instructors and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSE), who saw the opportunity and demand for a client-centered Information Technology solutions company in Victoria, BC, Canada. The company continued to grow with the acquisition of Ray Larson as General Manager in September 2003. In July 2005, Novus was successful in acquiring Steven Barley from Campus Computers Ltd, bringing the number of Full-Time Computer Systems Engineers in the company to five. April 2006 saw the introduction of Bev Pedersen as the corporation's new Executive Assistant. The primary role of Novus' Executive Assistant is customer service and assisting the General Manager with communicating, building and reinforcing relationships with clients.
The company has enjoyed steady growth. They have become increasingly popular with local governments and law enforcement agencies, now serving more than half of the municipalities in the Capital Regional District, British Columbia, in addition to several corporations, police and fire departments, and British Columbia Provincial Government Departments.
Novus started publishing a bi-monthly newsletter, NOVUS EDITIO (Latin for 'New Announcement'), in September 2005. Intended to inform the general public, the publication covers a broad range of Information Technology related subjects.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
