    Without you asking

    Your browser just told us all of this.

    Every site you visit receives this information by default. We show it to you instead of collecting it silently.

    Your browser isn't sharing anything readable here, which is actually a good sign.

    None of this has left your device. Nothing was recorded, nothing was sent, no fingerprint was computed. The code reading these values is the same code you could inspect on this page.

    Four service areas

    Every engagement starts with the problem of the person who owns it, not with the technology stack.

    Custom application development

    Daily work relies on scattered files, tools that don't talk to each other, or an existing system that needs to evolve without a full rebuild.

    We design, build and deploy web applications, internal tools, portals, and system integrations, with data migration when an existing system needs replacing.

    Deliverable form

    • Custom web application or internal tool, deployment included
    • Integration between existing and new systems
    • Data migration and reload

    IT advisory and support

    A digital project stalls, technical options contradict each other, and no one can decide with confidence.

    We scope the need with the people involved, compare the available options, and stay engaged through execution as project management and quality assurance, with knowledge transfer at delivery.

    Deliverable form

    • Business analysis and needs scoping
    • Options comparison and solution architecture
    • Project management, quality assurance and knowledge transfer

    Automation and applied AI

    Repetitive tasks and manual document processing absorb time that should go elsewhere.

    We automate processes and document handling with generative AI models that can be operated on the client's own infrastructure, keeping data sovereignty intact.

    Deliverable form

    • Process and document processing automation
    • Generative AI tools operated on your infrastructure
    • Data sovereignty, no dependency on a third-party cloud service

    Application management and evolution

    An application deployed a year ago no longer has anyone to fix it, host it, or watch that it keeps holding up.

    We provide evolutionary and corrective maintenance, level 2 and 3 support, hosting, backups and monitoring, under a service agreement defined with you.

    • Hosting, verified backups and monitoring

    Security and compliance by default

    On every engagement, not only the ones that name it: HTTPS, email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), verified backups, compliance with Quebec's Law 25, and a security-focused code review included at delivery. An in-depth security audit is still offered, but as an extension of an ongoing engagement, never as a lead product.

    How we work

    Four steps, from first contact to delivery.

    1. First conversation

      A meeting to understand your context, your constraints and what needs to be solved first. No charge, no commitment.

    2. Written scoping

      We put the scope, assumptions, required authorizations and timeline in writing. You approve before work begins.

    3. Staged execution

      Work proceeds in short stages, with a checkpoint at each one. You see progress as it happens, not only at the end.

    4. Delivery and handover

      You receive the deliverable, its documentation, and the explanations your teams need to take it over.

    Who we serve

    We serve Quebec and Canadian organizations, private and public sector alike, as well as partners who need external development capacity.

    • Public and parapublic bodies

      Municipalities, state corporations and organizations subject to procurement and personal information protection requirements.

    • Service businesses

      Organizations whose operations rely on internal tools and on customer data that needs protecting.

    • Organizations in digital transformation

      Teams replacing manual processes who need technical support from scoping through to deployment.

    • IT agencies and integrators

      Partners who need reliable external development capacity that can plug into their teams and their deliverables.

    • Non-profit organizations

      Organizations with limited means who want simple, durable tools that are easy to maintain in-house.

    Selected work

    A selection of engagements. Client organizations are not named here pending confirmed permission to cite them.

    Product pilot for an online shop

    A print-on-demand online shop needed creative directions and a first batch of products adapted to its platform and brand.

    Three creative directions, a five-product pilot and ten adapted designs, delivered as a first milestone.
