OTTAWA (October 5, 2009) - Protus, the provider of the highest quality software as a service (SaaS) communications tools for small-to-medium-businesses (SMB) and enterprise organizations, today announced that it has been named a winner of the Employees' Choice Award (ECA) for a third consecutive year.

The Employees' Choice Awards (ECA) program honours organizations that respect employees as their greatest asset. Operated by the Ottawa Business Journal, the selection committee consists of volunteer experts from various local organizations. As a 2009 recipient, Protus has been selected based on its employees' opinion, survey scores and comments, which demonstrate why Protus is an ideal place to work.

With an excellent response rate of 84%, the survey results are of great value to Protus. The ECA program's in-depth employee survey provides valuable affirmation of employee motivation factors and satisfaction drivers, as well as opportunities for continuous improvement.

"It's easy to see why people really like to work at Protus," said Joseph Nour, CEO of Protus. "We have a strong entrepreneurial and team culture characterized by pride, respect and commitment. Our people are the most important part of our success. Protus employees strive to make our customers' experiences outstanding every day. This award reflects the engagement of our employees who understand the needs of those we serve."

"When asked why we believe Protus won this accolade - we answer that we have a very committed and engaged workforce. When asked what advice we could share with other organizations - we say build the best teams, stay focused and have fun!" added Nour.

Protus joins an esteemed group of ten organizations being honored with this award. The region's top winning employers will be showcased in the Ottawa Business Journal and at a special awards ceremony in October.
