Who calls whom, in what order
How an engagement runs
01
We start with a clear picture
Together we map what you run today: who looks after each piece, what it costs, and every option open to you. It is the most useful part of the whole engagement, and many teams see it written down for the first time. Some clients take that map and run with it themselves, and that is a good outcome too.02
Then we decide together what is worth moving
We weigh what a Canadian stack genuinely improves against what each change would take in money, effort and time, and recommend only the moves that pay off. You see the reasoning, so the decision is yours, made with the full picture in front of you.03
Then we move things, carefully
We work in small stages, each one checked before the next begins and each one reversible. You keep operating throughout, and every stage has a tested way back before it goes ahead.04
Then we hand it over properly
You get runbooks written for the people who will be on call, and time with us while your team settles in. Owning your stack means your team runs it with confidence, with us there whenever you want us.
Questions we are often asked
Where is our data hosted?
Do you work with clients outside Canada?
Can our team see and change the code?
Can we move in without disrupting our work?
Who runs it once it is built?
How does a project start?
Tell us what you are building.
That is the whole first conversation: one straightforward talk about what you run and where you want to go. We will tell you plainly what a Canadian stack would take, and whether it is the right fit for you.
