Who We Are
Applied IT Solutions (AITS) is a Toronto-based consultancy founded in 2008 and led by its principal consultant. It advises government and Fortune 500 organizations on artificial intelligence, enterprise data strategy, document and records management, and business process improvement, with one aim: deriving tangible business value from the application of information technology.
Most engagements are delivered end to end by the principal, from requirements gathering through solution design and delivery to train-the-trainer and hand-off to the client's own team. For larger projects, AITS brings in experienced consultants it works with regularly. AITS has run projects worldwide and works in any time zone.
Out of this work, AITS developed the Content Tracking System (CTS), an AI-powered monitor that scores the health of a document repository against the organization's own KPIs.
- Consultant Team
- AITS has deployed commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software in the EIM/BPM/DMS space since 2008. Working alone on smaller projects or with experienced associates on larger ones, AITS brings solid action to the application of enterprise or discrete solutions.
- Common Roles
- Business analyst or Product SME are often the roles we start an engagement in. Building requirements to find and configure technology to provide an adopted business solution is what we do.
- Understand "the Mess" - Business Processes / IT Deployments
- As companies grow, people come and go, ideas bloom and fade; this organic growth can lead to a perfectly functional corporate disorder most affectionately known as "the mess". AITS will clear it up one process at a time through discussion and documentation of what is and should be happening.
What We Do
AITS makes technology work. It's that simple. If you are thinking that there must be a better way to do something, there likely is and we know how to make technology work smoothly, consistently and do all the heavy lifting so that you can focus on building your business or department by managing the exceptions, not the norm.
This is BPM and AITS will get you there. We work with your team as a team or as individuals bridging a knowledge gap. We do not just install software, but configure it to make it work in your environment and deliver the results for which it was intended. Modernize operations through the application of technology and measure the results.

- Fix the Mess - Business Processes / IT Deployments
- Documenting as-is and to-be processes are the cornerstone of process modernization. But AITS does this with the intention of using those diagrams as working models in simulations as well as in runtime, execution mode. This means the models are done once and reusable by multiple disciplines down the line.
- Document Conversion
- From paper format, microfilm or microfiche to certified digital reproduction; this is the essential process of managing documents in any modern business. AITS will manage this even before selecting a DMS vendor to ensure the operation is in a state of readiness to adopt BPM technology.
