IT project quotes for Sherbrooke businesses

Sherbrooke: knowledge, industry and municipal business support

Sherbrooke had 172,950 residents in Statistics Canada's 2021 Census. The Gouvernement du Québec regional profile (in French) lists it among the main municipalities of the Estrie region, which backs onto the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York, along with Granby, Magog, Cowansville and Bromont.

Knowledge has a visible place in the city. The Université de Sherbrooke (in French) notes that Sherbrooke is home to three colleges and two universities, one of them English-language; Bishop's University describes itself as an English-language university in the heart of Québec. The 2021 Census also shows that 9,815 of the 87,525 people in Sherbrooke's labour force across all industries are classified in educational services.

Municipal economic development goes through Sherbrooke Innovante. According to its About page, its team is made up of the City of Sherbrooke's Economic Development Service and Entreprendre Sherbrooke, and provides strategic support to businesses and investors. The organization aims to build an innovative, collaborative and sustainable economy, leveraging the city's knowledge hub, creativity and spirit of collaboration. It also has a funding page (in French) for manufacturing and agri-food businesses, covering start-up, growth and succession projects, including productivity or management software projects.

The Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Sherbrooke (in French) has set itself the mission of fostering and promoting the socio-economic development of private enterprise, defending its members' interests and maintaining conditions that support business growth in its community.

For a manufacturer, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system often connects purchasing, production, inventory, shipping and invoicing. Before requesting a quote, it is worth listing the processes to cover, the software to replace or connect and the data to migrate, and naming the person who will make configuration decisions. If your project is part of a funding application to Sherbrooke Innovante or another organization, say so: the quote can follow the expected breakdown.

Finally, an ERP holds information about your employees and customers. Law 25 obligations follow this data into the new system; our Law 25 guide explains the principles.
