History
editEstablished in 1991, Digitcom began as a reseller of voice mail, specializing in selling the Octel Compass product to the Canadian business market. The company expanded in 1993, which saw the inclusion of the sales and support of Avaya, Cisco, and the legacy Nortel line of telephony products.[2]

editDigitcom is an Avaya SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) Expert dealer in Canada with its President, Jeff Wiener,[3] currently the only Canadian to sit on the Avaya SME Advisory Council.[4]
On October 20, 2010, at Avaya’s Global Sales and Partner Conference in Las Vegas, Digitcom was awarded the SME Canadian Business Partner of the Year award. To be considered for the Business Partner of the Year award, eligible companies must achieve a 90 percent customer satisfaction rating, demonstrate industry leadership and outperform key strategic goals.[5]

On February 23, 2023 justice J. Kimmel approved the sale of Digitcom's assets to Comwave.[7] The sale price is reported to have been $1.75M.[8]
