Platforms we build on

What we do

You do not have to build the entire foundation before anything moves. Put one piece of the data foundation in place, start driving value with it, then take the next piece.

Strategic advisory

Chart the course before you sail it.

  • AI ReadinessWhere you actually stand across data, culture, and stack.
  • Roadmap to AgenticThe course from pilot to production, staged so value lands before the end.
  • Workflow MappingWe sit down with you and your team and break the work down to the task level, to attach AI where it will stick. Process mapping stops a level above this.
AI adoption, from readiness to rollout

Data & context infrastructure

Your agents are only as capable as what they can see.

  • Unified Context LayerOne layer across a multi-domain, multi-tool ecosystem.
  • Real-Time SignalsAgents acting on live data, not last month’s extract.
  • Modern Data StackSilos migrated into one governed platform.
  • Advanced Data StructuresVector and graph structures where they earn their place, and room for whatever lands next.
Our Databricks practice

Agentic infrastructure

Technology adapts to you, not the reverse.

  • Business AppsProprietary internal apps instead of another licence.
  • Orchestration LayerMultiple agents coordinated in concert, with a human accountable.
  • Proprietary AgentsYour domain, your rules, your IP. Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers where your agents need to reach your own systems, so the context travels with the work.
  • Custom DevelopmentThe build that nothing off the shelf covers.

Forward Deployed Engineering

Grow beyond one size fits all.

The industry is settling on a name for this model: forward deployed engineering. Senior specialists inside the client's environment, building what the business actually needs, then handing back the keys.

Our success stories

1188 Union

Business centre, Montréal

A mapping workshop, then a portal that swallowed month-end.

Month-end ran on paper and a three-person team. We mapped it, then built a SharePoint portal with Power Automate flows where every task starts and ends: 20 hours recovered a month. AI on invoicing then saved 5 more, because the context it needs was already in the portal.

In their words

The people who run the work every day, on what changed.

“I used to have a desk buried in paper. Now every task starts and ends in the same place: our SharePoint portal. It changed the way I work. And when we work with Claude, all the context it needs is already there.”
Catherine Q. directs operations at 1188 Union Inc. We built her team a SharePoint portal where every request, document and approval lives in one place, so her people and Claude both start with the full picture.Translated from French.
“JP gave us agility. We update our site ourselves and test a promo or a new idea the same day. No developer, no waiting: we're independent.”
Yves D. is president of 1188 Union Inc. We taught him Claude to prototype his own ideas, and set his site up on a CMS he edits himself, so a promo goes live the same day without coming back to us.Translated from French.

Your first four weeks

The workflow assessment: one or two of your workflows, four weeks, three workshops. Your team gives about an hour and a half a week for three weeks, and comes out with a map of the work and a ranked list of where to start.

Week 1

The pain points

The whole team of one domain, finance for example, in a room for an hour and a half. What works, what does not, then a vote on the biggest pain points.

Week 2

Every task, measured

Only the people who run the chosen workflows. We break each step down to the task, with volumes and time per task, then vote on where to start.

Week 3

Rethink the work

The same people, one question: with a magic wand or a hundred interns, how would you split this work? Between sessions, we sit with the people who do the work.

Week 4

The readout

We present the task map and the ranked list, by hours saved and by effort. You confirm the priorities, and we send a proposal for the option you choose.
