Oziom Technologies Canada

What Oziom Technologies Canada does

Oziom Technologies Canada Inc. is a Quebec-based private software company founded in 2009 by Emmanuel Labat and Guillaume Nicoloso, operating from St-Côme, Québec, with 1–10 employees. The company develops and delivers technology solutions for the cultural sector, non-profit organizations (OBNLs), and public institutions, positioning itself as a privacy-first, ethical alternative to the GAFAM ecosystem for data management and digital marketing.

Oziom's product portfolio centers on two platforms. BiOz is a unified commerce platform co-developed with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts since 2012, managing ticketing, subscriptions, donations, gift shop, day camps, and educational activities for cultural institutions; it includes a point-of-sale module, real-time attendance and sales reporting, and a standardized API plugin for orchestration with CRM, CDP, CMS, and mobile applications. Data-Coop Culture (dc-culture.com), launched in 2022, is a cooperative data and marketing platform that deploys Pixel Culture tracking across member sites to collect browsing data independently under Law 25, GDPR, and CPRA compliance; the cooperative had expanded to over 150 cultural organizations by 2024. Members retain ownership of their data and audiences are not commercialized to third parties, with self-service programmatic advertising tools supporting local media.

Revenue is generated through custom-priced SaaS subscriptions for BiOz (delivered on dedicated servers or in SaaS mode under multi-year contracts), cooperative membership fees for Data-Coop Culture, and professional services for architecture, data orchestration, compliance, and governance engagements. Distribution is primarily direct and partnership-driven within Quebec, relying on reference customers such as MBAM, MNBAQ, and the McCord Stewart Museum, alongside referral relationships with organizations like Culture Cible.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Culture24: Culture24 is a UK-based cultural-sector data and digital platform that pools audience and event data across UK museums and galleries. It is a regional analogue to Data-Coop Culture focused on the British cultural sector.
• Pavilion (by Axess): Axess (and its Pavilion platform) provides ticketing, CRM, and access-control solutions for cultural venues and attractions across Europe. Comparable to BiOz for European museums and attractions with similar ticketing-and-CRM scope.

Direct peers

• PatronManager (Tessitura): PatronManager delivers CRM, ticketing, and email marketing for nonprofits on the Salesforce platform. It targets the same OBNL/cultural buyer as Oziom with a hosted CRM-ticketing bundle.
• Spektrix: Spektrix is a cloud-based ticketing, CRM, and marketing platform for arts and cultural organizations, primarily in the UK and North America. It directly competes with BiOz on integrated ticketing, audience insight, and subscription management for the same cultural institution buyer.
• Tessitura Network: Tessitura is a CRM, ticketing, and fundraising platform purpose-built for arts and cultural organizations globally. It is the most direct competitor to BiOz, serving the same vertical (museums, performing arts centers, festivals) with deep CRM, ticketing, and subscription management.
• AudienceView: AudienceView provides ticketing, CRM, and commerce solutions for live entertainment, sports, and cultural venues. It overlaps with BiOz on ticketing, POS, and unified commerce for cultural institutions and large venues.

Broad incumbents

• Blackbaud: Blackbaud is a large, established provider of fundraising, CRM, and financial management software for nonprofits and cultural institutions. It is a broader incumbent with overlapping CRM, ticketing, and donor-management capabilities competing for the same cultural/non-profit budget Oziom targets.
• Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud: Salesforce's Nonprofit Cloud offers CRM, fundraising, and marketing automation for OBNLs and cultural institutions. It is a broader incumbent that Oziom integrates with via the BiOz API but also competes with on CRM and audience engagement.

Others

• Culture Cible: Culture Cible is a Quebec-based marketing and communications firm for the cultural sector and Oziom's strategic co-development partner on Data-Coop Culture. It is an ecosystem participant and channel partner rather than a direct software competitor.
