Consilient was a privately held company located in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The company provided push email software for mobile phones and devices using open standards.
As of Monday, November 17, 2008, Consilient shut its doors and laid off all of its employees without pay and without warning.
This was due to a move by a major investor, Quorum Group of Companies [1], to take over the firm.
On May 30, 2009, ACOA (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, a Federal government incubation fund for private companies) announced its intention to sue Consilient for $7.7 million Canadian, the principal that had been invested in Consilient over the years.
