Cybersecurity Services for Aptum

Aptum signed away all eight of its Canadian data centres to eStruxture on March 30, 2021. It later stood beside eStruxture, ThinkOn and Hypertec to launch an end to end sovereign AI ready cloud built against Government of Canada data residency and operational sovereignty requirements. Same counterparty, opposite side of the table. The company that once owned the floor now sells what happens on it

An asset light model puts everything on people. Aptum's worth to a federal buyer is now the architects who design the landing zone and the engineers who move the workload and then hold the sovereignty commitment once it is live. Federal procurement adds official languages requirements and personnel screening that a managed hosting bench was never sized against, and the CloudOps team Aptum bought in Montreal in 2023 is a fixed number of people. Sovereign cloud demand does not arrive evenly either. It arrives when a department's mandate lands, and several tend to land in the same quarter

CWS supplies the people without the payroll. Engineers deliver under the Aptum brand, to a single standard applied identically in the United States and Canada, and in French for the Quebec and Canadian federal files where an English only team is simply not eligible. Scoping, quoting and project tracking sit in Corova, our platform, so a sovereign cloud migration can be priced and tracked as one engagement even when the delivery team was assembled for it rather than inherited from last quarter. Nothing about the arrangement is visible to the department buying the outcome
