As always, a BALANCED+ cyber security professional can advise you if this release is right for your organization at this time. 

Canadian Tire Corporation operates in the automotive, hardware, sports, leisure, and housewares sectors. Its Canadian operations include Canadian Tire, Mark’s, FGL Sports, PartSource, and Party City.

BALANCED+ was chosen by Microsoft and the client to implement Microsoft Teams as a proof of concept at one of its stores. This store was using a traditional PBX phone system that was proving unreliable and costly to maintain. It was desirable to migrate to Microsoft Teams for its IP-based collaboration, video, and team communication needs.

BALANCED+ has been a Microsoft Sliver Partner since 2018 with specialization in a number of Microsoft applications and tools including the .NET Framework, Visual Studio, SharePoint, Microsoft Azure Stack, Microsoft Web API, and Office 365.

BALANCED+ successfully implemented Microsoft 365 services for the Canadian Tire store including Teams Telephony, Instant Messaging,Shifts, Tasks, Walkie-Talkie, and Meetings.

The proof of concept was successful, and the client now has efficient and reliable store communications complimented by the full suite of Microsoft Teams business tools to keep its operation running at optimum capacity.

Toronto, ON The Prince Rupert Port Authority selected BALANCED+ to build a standalone software application to process security clearances for access to the Port. The Port is in Prince Rupert Harbour in the North Coast Regional District of British Columbia. It is the third busiest seaport in Canada by container volume and cargo tonnage with assets of close to half a billion dollars.

BALANCED+ was chosen as the best candidate for this project based on our expertise with building robust applications on time and under budget.

The Port Authority was administering port passes using a paper-based system that was proving to be inefficient and unable to keep up with the demands of the port. An Online Port Pass system was developed by BALANCED+ to provide a standardized platform for port pass applications and administration, improving the user experience, and increasing the efficiency of the pass application process.

The client was very satisfied with the final product and the software is now fully integrated into PRPAs online platform.
