Industry Context

The Challenge for Regional Resellers

OKIOK was founded in 1973, before most of what it now defends existed. The firm shipped a DEB encryption product for the IBM PC in 1983, launched an enterprise single sign on solution called PassMan in 1992, and opened a Center for Innovation and Excellence in Identity and Access Management in 2008. Today it works from Promenade du Centropolis in Laval, holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and is licensed by the Bureau de la securite privee du Quebec

Decades of product engineering leave a firm with something rarer than a service catalogue. RAC/M Identity is OKIOK's own software, sold into finance, healthcare, energy, government, transport and the gaming and lotteries sector. Software is where the margin and the roadmap live. Every hour a senior identity consultant spends on a penetration test, a forensics case or an incident response call is an hour not spent on the product, and OKIOK sells all three. Deployment compounds it, because identity governance software does not install itself and regulated buyers in finance and government want the vendor's own people in the room for the rollout

CWS puts qualified consultants behind the OKIOK name so the product team stays on the product. We staff testing, forensics readiness and identity deployment work under the OKIOK brand, to one standard, across Canada and the United States, in French for Quebec and Canadian federal engagements and in English elsewhere. Corova handles the scoping, the quote and the project tracking, which matters when a licence sale and a services engagement need to close together. Nobody outside the room learns who did the hours

Why This Matters for OKIOK

A 1973 founding date buys credibility no marketing budget can. It also buys a payroll shaped by decades of product work, which is the wrong shape for absorbing a spike in consulting demand. CWS is the elastic half of that payroll, and it answers to the OKIOK name
