01

What public-sector IT services does SturdyIQ Public Solutions provide?

We plan and build cloud environments, secure web applications, integrations and approved AI workflows. We also support RFPs, project delivery, quality checks, documentation and handoff. Each engagement follows the client's procurement, security, privacy, accessibility, data and operating requirements.

02

Does SturdyIQ Public Solutions provide technology services for Canadian municipalities?

Yes. Municipal work can include cloud services, legacy system integration, secure portals, workflow modernisation, Responsible AI, procurement support and added delivery capacity. Discovery settles the Canadian data residency, data sovereignty, accessibility, privacy and records requirements for the engagement.

03

Does SturdyIQ Public Solutions work with Ontario municipalities?

Yes. We support Ontario municipalities and municipal partners on suitable projects. The delivery plan can account for public-sector procurement, accessibility, privacy, data residency, vendors, security and operations. Each engagement confirms its statutory and contractual commitments in writing.

04

Where does SturdyIQ Public Solutions provide technology delivery in Southern Georgian Bay?

Our office is in Collingwood, and we work on public-sector technology projects across Southern Georgian Bay and the Georgian Triangle. Nearby communities include Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Clearview, The Blue Mountains and Thornbury, Meaford and Owen Sound. We also work elsewhere in Ontario and across Canada.

05

What is a Forward Deployed Engineer?

A Forward Deployed Engineer joins the client's programme, operations, security, vendor and technical teams to deliver a defined outcome. Approved requirements become working integrations, cloud services or AI-enabled workflows, with the documentation and handoff needed for support.

06

How can cloud computing help a municipality?

Cloud computing can improve service availability, give public applications room to grow, strengthen backup and recovery, support remote work and help modernise legacy systems. The right model depends on data sensitivity, sovereignty, residency, integrations, accessibility, procurement, continuity and total cost.

07

How does SturdyIQ Public Solutions approach data sovereignty and Canadian data residency?

We identify where data is stored, processed, backed up, logged and accessed. The architecture records third-party providers, cross-border dependencies and Canadian data residency requirements. Data sovereignty becomes a documented design and governance requirement for the workload.

08

How does SturdyIQ Public Solutions apply Responsible AI, guardrails, and Human-in-the-Loop review?

Responsible AI starts with an approved purpose, the minimum necessary data, named users and a clear risk level. Testing, bias mitigation, guardrails, logs, escalation and Human-in-the-Loop review are added according to the risk. We may restrict or decline higher-risk work.

09

Can SturdyIQ Public Solutions connect legacy systems and data silos?

Yes, when the systems provide a safe and supported connection. We may use an API (Application Programming Interface), secure file exchange, workflow automation or an approved intermediary service. Discovery confirms data ownership, interface limits, security, error handling, audit records and support responsibilities.

10

Does SturdyIQ Public Solutions use Agile, Scrum, sprints, user stories, and an MVP?

Yes. We use Agile delivery, Scrum, time-boxed sprints, user stories and an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) when they suit the procurement and operating environment. Architecture, documentation, accessibility, security, testing and approval gates remain part of the project.

11

Can SturdyIQ Public Solutions provide a Subject Matter Expert?

We can provide or coordinate a Subject Matter Expert (SME) when the approved workstream calls for one and the expertise is available. The proposal names the role, scope, decision authority, deliverables, dependencies and delivery party.

12

Which Canadian compliance requirements can SturdyIQ Public Solutions help teams consider?

We help teams turn applicable requirements into technical controls, delivery evidence and operating responsibilities. References may include PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, Ontario's AODA, other provincial accessibility laws, the Accessible Canada Act, CASL, FINTRAC anti-money laundering duties for reporting entities and cybersecurity requirements. Bill C-8 received Royal Assent in 2026 and enacted the Critical Cyber Systems Protection Act. Justice Laws currently lists its provisions as not in force. Canada's AI for All strategy is policy guidance. The client and qualified advisers decide applicability, commencement and legal conclusions.
