Our Story

IMA got its start in 1989 in Tillsonburg, Ontario with three employees in founders Jim and Judy Calvert’s garage. The Calverts took a chance on their dream of entrepreneurship, all based on their knowledge that companies needed clean Material Master data. Since then, IMA has grown into a company with clients worldwide and a dedicated,

in-house development team. 

 

Today, IMA is led by CEO and President, Charlene Freeman, and Chair of the Board, Troy Miller. Our focus is on using our one-of-a-kind technology and unmatched experience to continue providing the amazing service IMA is known for. We are experts in MRO data cleansing and governance and continue to lead the industry with our innovation and proven results.

Prior to becoming President & CEO in 2012, Charlene held multiple positions within the company, ranging from Data Cleanser and Catalog Manager to General Manager. While IMA has traditionally been a service-based company, Charlene's strategic long-term vision for the growth of IMA has become the driving force behind web-based services and internal software development.
