For BC local government

Modern services for your community. Without a big-city IT budget.

Cities, towns, districts and regional districts are asked to do more online with the same small team. We build the pieces that take work off staff and make things easier for residents, one fixed-price phase at a time.

Sound familiar?

The problems we hear most.

Paper and PDF forms

Permits, licences and requests arrive by email attachment and get retyped by staff.

The same questions, every day

Residents phone about things already on the website, because the website is hard to search.

The server in the closet

A critical app runs on aging hardware, and one person knows how it works.

Systems that do not talk

The same data gets entered into three places, and they slowly drift apart.

Unclear cloud security

Accounts were set up over the years by different people, and nobody is sure who can access what.

AI pressure

Council and staff want to use AI, but nobody wants to be the next headline about leaked data.

What we build

Practical fixes, not a digital transformation.

Each of these can be a small, standalone project. Start with the one that hurts most.

  1. Online permit, booking and intake portals

    Replace the fillable PDF with a form that checks itself, routes to the right person and shows residents where their request is.

  2. A website assistant for residents

    Answers questions from your bylaws, schedules and service pages, cites the page it used, and hands off to staff when it should.

  3. Staff assistants

    Search council minutes, policies and past reports in plain language. Draft replies and summaries. Stays inside your own cloud account.

  4. Legacy app modernization

    Move the aging system to a supported, documented, automatically deployed setup, without a multi-year project.

  5. Cloud & security review

    A two-week, fixed-price look at who can access what, what is backed up, and what to fix first.

Privacy, access, procurement

Built for public-sector rules.

Privacy first

Designed with BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) in mind. Personal data kept to the minimum and stored in Canadian cloud regions when required.

Help with your PIA

We write up the technical side of your Privacy Impact Assessment: what is collected, where it lives, who can see it and for how long.

Accessible

Public-facing work targets WCAG 2.1 AA: keyboard use, screen readers, colour contrast and plain language.

Procurement-friendly

Fixed-price written proposals, split into phases that fit the budget you have this year. Happy to respond to an RFQ or RFP.
