Lakewood-Based Onix Breaks Attendance Record At Conference

LAKEWOOD, OH - From Onix: Onix, a global leader in cloud consulting solutions and strategic IT services, experienced record-breaking attendance at its annual client-partner conference held earlier this month. The event, known as Syzygy, included presentations, training workshops and a networking event at the famous Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Syzygy (pronounced sizz - ə - jē) is defined by Merriam-Webster as "the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies (such as the sun, moon and earth during a solar or lunar eclipse) in a gravitational system." At Onix, this translates to the perfect alignment of clients, partners and employees during a three-day event where ideas and knowledge are shared, and successful partnerships are celebrated.
Held in early October, the event included a presentation from Google about the latest advancements in Google Cloud Platform and Machine Learning, along with client and partner success stories shared by representatives from ATB Financial, Dropbox, Vonage and BetterCloud.

In addition, Ronald Rerko, Director of Translation Development in the Genomic Medicine Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, shared his knowledge of genomic medicine and genetic engineering and described how cloud computing helps the Cleveland Clinic advance its research.

Onix also used the Syzygy event as an opportunity to include its clients, partners and employees in the company's 25thanniversary celebration.

"It took a lot of hard work and the dedication of each and every employee over the past 25 years to build Onix into the successful technology product and solutions provider it is today, and we have much to celebrate," said Tim Needles, Onix CEO. "We felt that this event was the perfect time to share our excitement – and pride – with all of our partners, clients and employees. It was also the prime opportunity to announce that Onix Outreach, our non-profit charitable giving arm which provides assistance to the underserved in our communities, is acquiring its own food truck to distribute meals to those in need."

Since launching in 1992, Onix has grown from a three-person networking and hardware provider into a global cloud solutions provider and a top Google Cloud Premier Partner. The Onix team now numbers more than 140 employees located in its Lakewood, Ohio, headquarters, its recently opened office in Toronto, Canada and remotely throughout the U.S. and Canada. The company's client list includes representation across well-known consumer brands, media companies, global manufacturers, educational institutions and government agencies.
