What Ignite Technology does

Ignite Technology is a Canadian IT services provider founded in 2011, specializing in audiovisual integration, collaboration systems, and boardroom technology for organizations across Canada. Its core offering is the design and installation of Microsoft Teams Rooms and hybrid collaboration spaces, anchored by a core-tier partnership with Microsoft and supported by managed IT services, cyber security services, and end-user adoption support. The company operates a horizontal go-to-market serving Canadian organizations seeking digital collaboration and meeting-room technology deployments, with no publicly disclosed pricing model, revenue figures, or customer logos. The firm was led by President and CEO Steven Taylor until May 8, 2026, when Ignite Technology merged into MNP Digital (MNP LLP), one of Canada's largest national professional services firms founded in 1958 and operating in more than 150 Canadian communities. The merger brought Ignite's collaboration-technology capabilities into MNP's fast-growing digital services practice, where its expertise now forms the foundation of a national digital collaboration offering alongside MNP's broader AI, data, cloud, cyber, and enterprise transformation practices. Following the merger, Steven Taylor transitioned to National Leader, Digital Collaboration at MNP Digital.
