In today’s globalized tech industry and crazy political landscape, it’s not uncommon for companies to be influenced—or even controlled—by outside investors or foreign interests. That’s why we’re proud to say: our software consulting company is 100% owned and operated in Canada.
This isn’t just a tagline—it’s a reflection of our values, our independence, and our deep commitment to the clients and communities we serve.
What It Means to Be 100% Canadian-Owned and Operated
Being fully Canadian-owned and operated means that every decision we make, every line of code we write, and every solution we deliver is guided by a team that lives and works right here in Canada. We’re not beholden to offshore stakeholders or external investors. Instead, we’re accountable to our clients, our team, and our shared vision for excellence.
This independence allows us to:
- Stay agile and responsive to client needs without layers of bureaucracy
- Invest in local talent and contribute to the Canadian tech ecosystem

- Uphold Canadian values of fairness, inclusivity, and innovation

No Maple Washing
Unfortunately, many companies with a Canadian locations are trying to spin themselves off as being Canadian. Don’t get me wrong, having global companies invest in Canadian employees is a great thing. It’s just different so it should be seen that way.
It’s hard finding Canadian Tech Platforms
There are certain areas where it is very challenging to find a Canadian alternative to an industry platform. Let’s take Microsoft 365 for example, there is no Canadian competitor subscription in that space. Our commitment to our clients and employees is that we will always look for Canadian options first.
