What Solutions Consortech does

Solutions Consortech (operating as Consortech) is a privately held geospatial IT consulting and integration firm headquartered in Brossard, Quebec, Canada, founded in 1989 by Pierre Genest and currently led by President François Laganière (since 2024) alongside co-owner Guillaume Genest. The company specialises in geospatial data integration and ETL automation built on two vendor platforms: FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) by Safe Software, which Consortech resells as Safe Software's sole Platinum Value-Added Reseller in North America, and ArcGIS by Esri, for which it holds Silver Partner and System Ready Specialty status. Service offerings include strategic consulting, co-development, coaching, integration partnerships, ArcGIS development, data validation, and real-time data management, packaged into modular kits (Ignition, Automation, Orchestration, FME Governance) and supported by a $9,860 FME Technology Assessment engagement. Documented integrations span Cityworks, IBM TRIRIGA, Waze, Power BI, ArcGIS QuickCapture, Survey123, Dashboards, GeoEvent Server, Velocity, and Oracle.

The company generates revenue across four streams: project-based and hourly/fixed-fee consulting, virtual FME training (public and private cohorts), FME software resale and support (Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5pm EST coverage), and turnkey project implementation. Pricing is disclosed only for the FME Technology Assessment at $9,860 (multi-year subscription-style contract); other services are quoted by scope and training is pay-as-you-go. The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, anchored on direct engagement with GIS managers and IT departments at municipalities, government entities, public utilities, and transportation organisations, supported by blog content, webinars, conference participation (GeoIgnite, MISA Prairies, BeSpatial, Geomatic Rendez-vous), case studies, and a newsletter. Customers include Hydro-Québec, City of Greater Sudbury, Portland Public Schools, City of Sherbrooke, Saint John Energy, City of Toronto, City of Brandon, Planview Utility Services, and Énergir, with 500+ completed projects and more than 40% of revenue generated outside Quebec by 2019 across Canada and the United States.
