Heart and Stroke Foudation

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada celebrates Heart Month this month, and to help promote awareness and action, we’re spotlighting this important foundation in the February CommerxEMS eNewsletter.


The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada is a volunteer based charity that strives to eliminate heart disease and stroke through research, advocacy, and education. It was instituted over 50 years ago in Ontario to raise awareness and to educate Canadians on heart health. Similar foundations in other parts of the country were introduced, and in 1961 the nationwide Canadian Heart Foundation was born (and later renamed the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada). Today, it is comprised of over 140,000 volunteers, 500 staff, and 85 regional offices that contribute to studying, preventing, and reducing disability and death from heart disease and stroke.

February marks the annual door-to-door campaign, the primary fund raiser for this important foundation. Please join the 13 million donors and support the Heart and Stroke Foundation this year in whatever way you can. For more information, please visit www.heartandstroke.ca


SAAS vs. Enterprise Models

At CommerxEMS we strive to give our customers the best service possible. As part of our ongoing efforts to better serve your needs, we’d like to reiterate some of our product pricing models.

By choosing our Enterprise pricing model, you see most of the total costs upfront, payable in one lump sum once the software has been shipped and implemented successfully. This is coupled with an ongoing yearly support and maintenance fee.

With the SaaS pricing model, you pay a much smaller upfront cost and regular usage fees. These fees are normally collected monthly and are based on usage during the billing period.

During the present recessionary period, many of our clients still need to make purchases to help stabilize, systematize and strengthen their organizations. With this in mind, we are offering more flexible payment options and plans to enable you to obtain the software you need when you need it. Let us help you get through this economic downturn and emerge a stronger, more robust organization.
