Help Canadian communities thrive through improved efficiency, performance, and security

Government departments and public sector organizations have a mandate to improve Canadian lives and deliver innovative, interactive, and efficient services and experiences to citizens. In a data-driven world, where new challenges and advances in technology are constant, innovation and transformation are essential.

Juggling budget constraints, avoiding hidden fees, and keeping up with technology is stressful and can stall transformation goals. Simplicity, flexibility, resilience, and the capability to scale up and down as demand for services and circumstances change are fundamental to meeting business goals and delivering efficient public services.

ThinkOn is the only cloud service provider capable of offering sovereign cloud to the Government of Canada. We are a trusted partner who understands public sector needs and how important it is to protect the data supply chain.

The ThinkOn difference

True north strong and sovereign

ThinkOn is Canadian owned and operated, so protecting Canadian data is our business. We are the only Canadian CSP with the contractual capability to sell cloud-based data governance services to support all levels of government and public services, including federal government sensitive workloads.

BaaS and DRaaS: better together

Sensitive government data needs a complete backup solution—with critical recovery in the face of ever-present cyber-disaster. ThinkOn provides a data stronghold with Veeam Cloud Connect Backup and Compass Data Protect for M365, supported by industry-leading DRaaS with Zerto and Veeam to provide the gold standard in disaster recovery.

It’s not about being cloud-everything, it’s about being cloud-smart. Not all workloads and applications belong in the cloud. ThinkOn understands seamless hybrid environments that give you the flexibility and freedom to move data where it belongs.

Regulatory compliance

ThinkOn ensures that data sovereignty, traceability, and supply chain management are in full regulatory compliance with Canadian law—critical for any government or public sector organization that works with sensitive data.

Purpose-built data centres for government workloads—managed by Canadians

Compliance and security for sensitive government data begins at home. Our high-security clearance standards guarantee that all personnel handling customer data are vetted within Canada. At ThinkOn, true north strong and free means
