Our Story

IntegrateIT was born out of a partnership between The Momentum Centre and AstroLab Synergies, united by the desire to support Manitoba’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to foster economic growth, create employment and contribute to the welfare of our communities.

SMEs are crucial to Manitoba's economy, and are challenged by an ever-changing world. SMEs need digital tools, resources and opportunities to adapt and thrive. Our goal at IntegrateIT is to provide timely digital solutions and effective collaboration with businesses to find an optimal path forward.

Manitoba is lagging in eCommerce adoption and CDAP will facilitate access to and greater participation in the digital economy.
