What Canvia does

Canvia is a Peru-headquartered digital transformation services firm operating for over 38 years (founded 1987) and owned by global private equity firm Advent International. The company serves large enterprises across three core verticals — financial services, industry and commerce, and the public sector — with an integrated portfolio of seven solution areas: Journey to Cloud (multi-cloud migration across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud), Ciberseguridad (a CyberSOC processing 50M+ daily events, supported by a FIRST-certified CSIRT team and the proprietary CyberIA AI capability), Digital Services (application development and modernization), Data & Analítica, Digital Workplace (Smart Desk 4.0 help desk), Smart Info (legally compliant electronic and digital signature services), and Smart Banking (RPA and digital channels for banks).

The technology stack is anchored on multi-cloud expertise with deep SAP and Oracle implementation capabilities, and operations are supported by a Technology Operations Center (COT), Network Operations Center (NOC), Command Center (CECOM), and CyberSOC. Canvia holds the highest industry certifications including CMMI Level 5 (2025), ISO 9001, 27001, 20000-1, 22301, 37001, 14001, 45001, and FIRST, positioning it as a qualified partner for regulated industries. Notable clients include Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP), Banco de la Nación, Komatsu, Aceros Arequipa, UPC, Celima, and Sura AFP.

The business operates a direct enterprise field sales model with custom-quoted, multi-year engagements. Revenue is generated through project-based cloud and digital transformation engagements, recurring managed IT services (data center outsourcing, NOC/SOC, SAP system administration, service desk), and subscription/transaction-based digital signature services via Smart Info. The wholly owned subsidiary Gestión de Soluciones Digitales S.A.C. (GSD S.A.C.) handles digital document management, microform storage with legal value, and electronic accreditation services. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no self-serve or marketplace channel, and all sales are conducted via field sales targeting CIOs, CTOs, and IT decision-makers at large Peruvian organizations.
