Testimonials
Folks who count on us
As an arts organization, we struggled to centralize our data and prepare our annual accountability reports. Since SIMAB implemented CiviCRM for us, our day-to-day management has become much simpler: we can reach our information anytime, from anywhere.
Since 2022, SIMAB has supported us in setting up our digital tools, our CRM platform and our phone system. Their constant support helps us work more efficiently and stay organized day to day.

Common questions
You might be wondering…
Do you only work with non-profit organizations?
Not at all! Non-profits are at the heart of what we do, and we also help small businesses and independent professionals who don’t have an in-house IT team.
Do we have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Our plans are month to month, with no long-term commitment. You stay free at all times.
What happens in an IT emergency?
Every plan includes a guaranteed response time, up to a 1-hour priority response on the Plus plan. In a critical incident, you speak directly with the person who knows your environment: 438 500-4020.
Does our data stay in Canada?
As much as possible, yes. We favour solutions hosted in Canada and help you meet your privacy obligations (Québec’s Law 25, PIPEDA).
Can you take over an existing setup?
Absolutely. We start with a free assessment of your current environment, then plan a smooth transition, without interrupting your operations.
