Cloud product studio · Quebec, Canada

We don't pitch projects.
We run products.

XYConsulting designs, builds and operates its own cloud products. Two are in production today, built on the same technical foundation, hosted in Canada and compliant by design. That is our proof of execution — and it is what we bring to client engagements.

Our thesis

Two products with nothing in common — except what matters

A compliance platform for Quebec IT departments and a luggage tracker for travellers: on paper, nothing connects them. Their markets, buyers and sales cycles are strangers to each other — deliberately so. Each product owns its brand, its domain and its roadmap.

What they share sits underneath: one technical foundation and one founding constraint. Azure Canadian region, infrastructure fully described as code, compliance built in from the start rather than bolted on later. That base was built once, then reused.

The consequence is economic: each subsequent product costs less than the last. Infrastructure, deployment pipelines, the authentication layer and the compliance framework already exist. What remains to build is the product itself.

01 — SOVEREIGNTY

Data stays in Canada

Our product platforms run on Azure canadacentral. Law 25 and PIPEDA on the Canadian side, GDPR on the European side. A constraint accepted on day one, never retrofitted.

02 — EVERYTHING IS CODE

Reproducible infrastructure

Terraform, Bicep, Azure Policy, CI/CD pipelines. Any environment can be recreated identically, tested and audited. That is what lets a small team ship two products.

03 — EVIDENCE

Traceable to the source

Every compliance requirement links back to its originating recommendation — CIS Azure v6, AWS v7, GCP v5, ISO 27001. An auditor can verify without reconstructing the reasoning.

The portfolio

Two products in production

Not mockups or intentions: deployed platforms, with their own customers, their own pricing and their own website.

CloudNorma

In production
Multi-cloud compliance SaaS platform — B2B

CloudNorma scans Azure, AWS and GCP environments against the official CIS Benchmarks, Quebec's Law 25 and ISO 27001, links every gap back to its source recommendation and ships the fix — Terraform code, Azure Policy or step-by-step portal instructions.

Born out of repeated Azure governance engagements: the same gaps, the same weeks spent reassembling audit evidence, client after client.

Travio

In production
Connected luggage tracking — hardware + subscription, B2C

A hybrid GPS + Bluetooth + eSIM IoT tracker, an iOS and Android mobile app, and an Azure platform. Unlike Bluetooth trackers, Travio talks straight to the cellular network: it needs no nearby smartphone to report its position.

26 million bags are lost or delayed every year (IATA). Every existing tracker depends on a third-party phone network — and the AirTag rules out the 57% of travellers on Android from the start.

Tech stack

Built once, reused twice

The same technical stack carries both products. It explains the speed to production and the decreasing marginal cost of every new product.

Cloud & hosting

A single region, chosen for data sovereignty. Every product lives there.

  • Azure canadacentral
  • IoT Hub
  • Functions
  • Cosmos DB

Infrastructure as Code

No clicking through portals. Every environment is reproducible, testable and auditable.

  • Terraform
  • Bicep
  • Azure Policy
  • GitHub Actions

Identity & access

A shared authentication layer, reused from one product to the next.

  • Azure AD B2C
  • SSO Microsoft & Google
  • RBAC

Compliance by design

Regulatory controls live in the code, not in a side document.

  • Loi 25
  • LPRPDE
  • RGPD
  • CIS
  • ISO 27001
The team

Architect-grade expertise, applied to product

Guy Pollen Dadje Piedjo

Founder · Cloud architect

Montreal, Quebec — cloud architecture, governance and security for over 12 years.

Over twelve years of cloud architecture consulting, including large-scale Azure governance engagements: centralised policies, landing zones, multi-region service continuity, and backup and recovery strategies for organisations under strict regulatory requirements.

CloudNorma came straight out of those engagements. The pattern repeated itself: the same compliance gaps, the same weeks spent reassembling audit evidence, client after client. The product automates what used to be done by hand — a problem known from the inside, not a market hunch.

How these products were built

Two technical write-ups: the actual design, the actual constraints and the trade-offs we accepted. Written for readers who can read an architecture.
