Cybersecurity Services for Present

Present has run out of Montreal since 1990, adding offices in Quebec City and Toronto along the way, and it carries IBM Gold Partner status. IBM Power sits at the centre of the business. Thirty five years on one platform buys something rare, which is customers who stay long enough for their infrastructure to become genuinely complicated, and who expect their provider to have been in the room for every decision that made it that way. Serving Montreal, Quebec City and Toronto from one company also means every answer has to land in two languages

Depth on a platform is not the same as depth in security, and the two are now bought together. A Power estate raises questions that generalist security firms answer badly, from privileged access on the operating system through to how a workload stays protected once part of it lands in Azure. Present resells the security products, but the assessment and the identity redesign behind them call for a different kind of hire. Building that practice from nothing in Montreal, in both languages, while the infrastructure business keeps its existing consultants fully booked, is a slow and expensive way to answer a question customers are asking now

CWS answers it without the hiring. Security engineers from our bench deliver under the Present name, to one standard, anywhere in the United States or Canada, and in French when a Quebec client or a federal file requires it. Corova runs the scope, the quote and the tracking, so the work gets priced and reported the way Present prices and reports everything else. The customer only ever sees Present
