- 03
Adopt AI safely
Private AI that runs on your own data, in Canada, under your control.

Pay for it smartly
Fixed prices, plus help finding and applying for the government funding that can cover part of the cost.
Who we help
Built for your size and your rules
The rules change at 20, 25 and 50 staff, and again by sector. Start with the page that fits you.
Small businesses (under 50 staff)
Pass the insurance form, keep client data safe, and know which rules apply as you grow.
Accounting and law offices, dental and physio clinics, machine shops supplying defence primes, retailers and trades companies. Most have no IT person.
See what appliesMid-size (50 to 499 staff)
We work alongside your IT team, not instead of it.
Manufacturers in the Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph supply chains, distributors, multi-office professional firms, health groups and software companies, usually with an IT manager or a small team.
See what appliesNon-profits and charities
Three ways to pay for better IT: save first by moving to non-profit software pricing, write the work into your grant budgets, and phase the rest.
Registered charities and not-for-profit corporations in Waterloo Region and southern Ontario: social service agencies, community health centres and hospices, children's aid societies, arts, sport and faith-based community programs, and member organizations such as chambers, associations and BIAs.
