What TNG Consulting Inc. does

TNG Consulting Inc. is a privately held Ottawa-based IT consulting firm that has specialized in Moodle LMS implementation, customization, and support since 1994. The company is led by president Michael Milette and operates with 1-10 employees, serving primarily the Government of Canada (including through the WET-BOEW-MOODLE open source project for which Milette is the official lead), as well as business and non-profit organizations. Its core technology is the open-source Moodle LMS augmented with a proprietary plugin portfolio including the AIID AI Instructional Designer, FilterCodes, GCWeb Pro theme (aligned with Government of Canada branding), Contact Form, eMailTest, Invitation Enrolment, and the Trema theme; most plugins are released under open-source licenses through the TNG Open Source initiative and the Moodle.org plugin directory.

The firm operates a dual go-to-market combining direct, quote-based consulting engagements (LMS development, customization, support, training, and ROT assessment) with self-serve distribution of plugins via its e-commerce storefront and the global Moodle.org marketplace. Revenue streams consist of professional services, one-time plugin licensing, and 1:1 coaching covering AI, Moodle, job search, and tech/business life mentoring. Its primary AI capability, AIID, generates near-complete courses from keyword prompts entirely within the Moodle environment. With no disclosed institutional funding, M&A activity, or public listing, TNG Consulting functions as a founder-led boutique consultancy whose growth has historically tracked the founder's individual community standing, evidenced by 11 consecutive years of the Particularly Helpful Moodler (PHM) award.
