Consultants, contractors, self-employed and unemployed professionals typically do not have access to the same benefits that are available to full-time employees.

Zylog provides professional services, consulting, on-shore and off-shore software development, migration services, and proprietary applications for government, shared services, healthcare, banking and finance, insurance, education, telecommunications, cloud computing, business intelligence, field service management, SAP, Sharepoint, MS Dynamics, testing and quality assurance.

The Brainhunter social media site is provided by Zylog to give back to the professional community with access to benefits, discounts, and unique value to consultants, contractors, temporary and permanent employees, and job seekers. Zylog recognizes and appreciates the value of personal relationships and commitment with members of the professional community.

Brainhunter.com Makes Insurance Accessible to Consultants, Contractors and Temporary Employees

Zylog announces a new service to offer competitive insurance plans and prices facilitated by Marsh Canada Limited. Options include life, disability and private health insurance plans.


Zylog and Marsh Canada Limited offer a convenient one-stop-shop to compare plans and prices to fill the gap in individual insurance services with the launch of a new website at http://www.brainhunter.com/.

Zylog and Marsh Canada Limited offer a convenient one-stop-shop to compare plans and prices to fill the gap in individual insurance servicesAs the premier staffing and payroll contract management agency, Zylog recognized a lack of parity and gaps in coverage of life insurance, disability insurance, and private health insurance for many consultants and contractors. Zylog determined to make such coverage more accessible to the community.
Zylog is pleased to offer this “Cafeteria Style” selection in cooperation with Marsh Canada Limited. Marsh’s Individual Insurance Services provide a wide range of insurance solutions with optional plans and comparative prices quoted from many leading insurance providers. This means a one-stop-shop to conveniently compare prices among several respected insurance providers and plans to fulfill individual risk protection needs, peace of mind, and personal budget.

“We are very pleased to offer access to competitive rates and flexible insurance plans that address the needs expressed by our consultant community”, said John Mehrmann, CEO of Zylog Systems Canada.

Traditionally, employer sponsored group plans provide the basis for insurance benefits.  As a self employed professional, these products are now available on an individual basis. The risks of premature death, long-term disabilities or health care related expenses can be financially crippling to those affected. Risk protection products are one of the ways to help mitigate the financial impact of one of these events happening. The following types of insurance can be a key component of an overall financial plan:

  • Private health insurance can provide a person or family with coverage for prescription drug, extended health services, dental and more that will fill the gaps left by provincial health plans 
  • Personal disability insurance will replace a portion of personal income in the event of inability to work due to an accident or sickness
  • Critical Illness insurance provides a lump sum benefit in the event an individual is diagnosed with a covered condition, including heart attack, life-threatening cancer and stroke
  •  Life Insurance protects the family in the event of premature death
The cooperative insurance offering is accessible at http://www.brainhunter.com/

In 2010, Zylog acquired Brainhunter, combining the global IT consulting and development capabilities of Zylog with Canada’s premier agency for technical staffing, consulting, and engineering. Brainhunter has been transformed into an organization that uses social media, technology, and personal attention to empower consultants, contractors, full-time and temporary employees to achieve personal career satisfaction.
Zylog does not sell, resell, markup, or profit from this offer. Zylog is committed to make services accessible to the employment community and to satisfy the needs of the individuals represented by the recruiting, staffing, and contract payroll management services.

Zylog Earns a Spot in Dataquest’s Top 20 Software Exporters for the Year 2010-2011

Zylog has earned a spot in the Dataquest’s IT industry survey for the Top 20 software exporters across India for the fiscal year 2010-2011.

Excerpts from the findings of the survey:While IT services exports jumped back, growing at 21% (vs 6% in FY 10) and engineering services exports grew 22% (compared to 6% in the previous year), BPO exports growth slowed down, growing just 7%, versus 13% in the previous year. The total services exports from India in FY 11 stands at $64 billion, including IT software/services and BPO.
Zylog earned the prestigious placement among the top 20 by virtue of 129% growth year-over-year.
“The slowdown in 2009 and 2010 made the industry more efficient and mature. With the growth now back, the Indian IT industry can look forward to more depth, innovation and global spread in 2011-12,” said Pradeep Gupta, Publisher of CyberMedia India. The survey will be published in the forthcoming issue of the journal dated September 15, 2011.
