You buy directly from the vendors; we sit on your side of the table. - [Services](https://digitaladvisory.ca/services/): We offer six advisory services. Most clients need one or two at a time, and the right starting point depends on whether you are still deciding what to do, choosing how to do it, or already in the middle of a rollout. - [Areas we serve](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/): We advise businesses across all of Canada, online by video and in person. The software question is similar everywhere, but privacy regimes, language rules and sales tax differ by province, and they belong in the requirements. - [About](https://digitaladvisory.ca/about/): DigitalAdvisory.ca is an independent Canadian advisory practice within the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group of companies. It is run from Vancouver, British Columbia, under the leadership of Ali Sedighi, MBA in Technology Management. - [Results](https://digitaladvisory.ca/results/): Our published results come from digital work for HVAC businesses, not from software-selection engagements. We show them because they demonstrate the habits an advisor needs: measure first, build systems that scale, and check the numbers. - [Pricing](https://digitaladvisory.ca/pricing/): You can engage us by the hour, by the project or on a monthly retainer, and the Growth Partner Program offers a custom, performance-based option. Every fee is written into your proposal before work begins. - [FAQ](https://digitaladvisory.ca/faq/): Straight answers to the questions we hear most often about cost, independence, timelines, AI, ownership of data and accounts, and what happens if a previous technology project went badly. - [Contact](https://digitaladvisory.ca/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. A short text describing the decision you face is a good way to begin; we take it from there. ## Services - [AI adoption](https://digitaladvisory.ca/services/ai-adoption/): We help you find the handful of tasks where AI or automation saves real hours, test them on your own data before you commit, and write the rules your staff need to use AI tools sensibly. - [Data and reporting](https://digitaladvisory.ca/services/data-reporting/): We agree how each of your key numbers is calculated, decide which system is the source of truth for it, and specify a weekly owner's dashboard that reconciles with your books. - [Digital governance](https://digitaladvisory.ca/services/digital-governance/): Governance answers a simple question that many businesses cannot: who owns and controls each of our digital assets? We build the register, fix the gaps and set rules so the answer stays clear. - [Digital roadmap](https://digitaladvisory.ca/services/digital-roadmap/): A digital roadmap tells you which technology projects to do, in what order, at what cost, and which to stop. It replaces a wish list with a plan your team and your budget can actually carry. - [Implementation oversight](https://digitaladvisory.ca/services/implementation-oversight/): Once the contract is signed, someone needs to make sure the vendor delivers what was sold. We act on your side during rollout: checkpoints, acceptance criteria, data migration checks and an honest weekly status. - [Software selection](https://digitaladvisory.ca/services/software-selection/): We run a structured selection for CRM, ERP, field-service, accounting and similar systems: written requirements, a shortlist, scripted demos and a weighted scoring matrix. You buy directly from the vendor you choose. ## Coverage - [Alberta](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/alberta/): Alberta firms tend to grow fast and buy software in a hurry. We slow the decision down just enough to compare vendors fairly, plan for Alberta's own privacy law, and schedule rollouts around field seasons. - [British Columbia](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/british-columbia/): British Columbia owners get the same vendor-neutral method we use everywhere, adjusted for BC's private-sector privacy law, its mix of coastal and Interior businesses, and the seasons that shape when a rollout can safely happen. - [Manitoba](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/manitoba/): Manitoba companies tend to be practical buyers who keep systems for a long time. That makes the initial choice matter more, and it is where an advisor without a product to sell earns their fee. - [New Brunswick](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick businesses often serve customers in two languages from small teams. The right software handles both without doubling the work, and an independent review is the cheapest way to find it. - [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): Businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador often run crews and sites far from the office, over patchy connections. Software has to work offline, sync reliably and be supportable from a distance. - [Nova Scotia](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/nova-scotia/): Many Nova Scotia firms are moving from office servers and shared drives to cloud systems. Done carefully, that move cuts risk and cost; done in a hurry, it just relocates the mess. - [Ontario](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/ontario/): Ontario is Canada's busiest software market, which means more vendors, more resellers and more pressure to sign quickly. An independent advisor keeps the comparison honest and the decision yours. - [Prince Edward Island](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/prince-edward-island/): On PEI, most businesses are small and many are seasonal, so software has to be affordable all year and dependable during the few months that matter most. We help owners choose with both in mind. - [Quebec](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/quebec/): In Quebec, two questions sit beside features and price in every software decision: does it work properly in French, and how does the vendor handle personal information under the province's own privacy regime? - [Saskatchewan](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/saskatchewan/): Saskatchewan businesses often serve wide territories with lean teams, so every system has to earn its keep. We help owners choose and roll out software that fits the season, the distance and the size of the team. - [Territories](https://digitaladvisory.ca/areas/territories/): In Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, software must cope with distance, limited bandwidth and small teams that cannot wait days for vendor support. We help northern owners choose systems with those limits written into the requirements. ## Guides and articles - [Guides](https://digitaladvisory.ca/guides/): Six practical guides that show the methods we use in client work, with worked numbers you can check and adapt to your own business, whether or not you ever hire us. - [Accounting to ERP](https://digitaladvisory.ca/guides/accounting-to-erp/): Most growing Canadian businesses don't need an ERP the moment things feel messy. Measure the hours lost to re-keying and workarounds first, try the middle options, and move to ERP only when the numbers and the risks justify it. - [Automation payback](https://digitaladvisory.ca/guides/automation-payback/): AI and automation pay back on tasks that are frequent, repetitive and easy to check. Score candidates on volume, minutes and error cost, include human review in the math, test accuracy on a sample of 50 before rollout, and write simple rules about what data may be used. - [CRM 3-year cost](https://digitaladvisory.ca/guides/crm-three-year-cost/): The licence fee is usually less than half of what a CRM costs you over three years. Add implementation, migration, integrations, training, admin time, renewal increases and an exit reserve, then compare options on the full number. - [Owner KPI dashboard](https://digitaladvisory.ca/guides/owner-kpi-dashboard/): A dashboard is only as good as its definitions. Pick 8 to 12 numbers, write exactly how each is calculated and which system it comes from, reconcile revenue against your accounting every month, and refresh on a fixed schedule. - [Prioritising projects](https://digitaladvisory.ca/guides/prioritising-digital-projects/): A digital roadmap is mostly a list of things you decide not to do yet. Score each idea on value, effort and risk, sequence by dependencies, fund the top few with a contingency, and write down what you are stopping so it stays stopped. - [Scoring matrix](https://digitaladvisory.ca/guides/software-scoring-matrix/): A scoring matrix forces a software decision onto evidence. Screen vendors on must-haves first, weight the remaining criteria to 100, score each 1 to 5 with a written reason, and test how sensitive the result is before you choose. ## Optional - [Full text](https://digitaladvisory.ca/llms-full.txt) - [Parent company](https://sedighi.ca)
