Who We Are
A partner, not another AI vendor.
Contivos is an AI and data consultancy headquartered in Vancouver. We work with enterprise teams across 12 industries and 33 countries, helping them find where AI can genuinely move the business, then building it, securing it, and keeping it running.
Most firms are strong on one side. Technology shops know the tools. Advisory firms know the industry. We bring both into the same room, from the first conversation to long after go-live.
A partner, not another AI vendor.
Decades of technical expertise with leading technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Tencent, Ericsson, Seagate, Disney, and Equinix.
What Makes Us Different
Two kinds of expertise. One team.
Technology Depth
We build secure, high-performance applications and operational platforms tailored to complex workflows, regulatory constraints, and enterprise-grade performance demands.
Industry Fluency
Our people have worked inside the sectors they serve. They understand the regulations, the workflows, and the pressure on margins, so our recommendations fit the way your business actually runs.
Accountability for Outcomes
We measure success by what changes in your business, not by what we hand over. That's why we stay involved after launch, monitoring, improving, and adapting as your needs change.
What We Believe
The principles behind every engagement.
01
Business first, technology second.
We start with the outcome you need, then choose the tools. Never the other way round.
02
Good AI starts with good data.
If the foundation isn't right, nothing built on top of it will be.
03
Security is built in, not bolted on.
Security is built in, not bolted on.
04
Built for production.
Security is built in, not bolted on.
05
Straight talk, no hype.
We’ll tell you what will work, what won’t, and when AI isn’t the answer.
