About us

Who are we?

Great People + Delivery Principles + Empowerment

An outsourced procurement, vendor management and delivery team.

Techworks is an outsourced sourcing, vendor management and delivery team. We run your outsourced delivery, from choosing the partners to checking the work.

Sourcing, vendor management, requirements development and delivery governance are specialist skills, and most organizations, small or large, don’t have them together in one place. We bring them as one team on your side, and we bring your teams and the partners’ teams together around one plan.

You tell us the outcome you need. We define the business and technical requirements, advise on the market, run the RFx, recommend the right solution, contract the delivery partners, manage vendors, budgets and timelines, and verify what gets delivered.

We source the right delivery partners for each outcome, based on the market, not from a fixed roster. We have worked with the leading and mid-sized firms across domestic, nearshore and offshore delivery, so we know how they perform, where delivery gets hard and how to manage the risk. Those working relationships help us improve delivery and bring costs down for you.

The partners build. We govern and verify. That separation is deliberate: it gives you safe access to cost-effective delivery, and it means the people who build never grade their own work. We work for you, not for the partners. They don’t pay us.

Our roots are in telecommunications and digital services, where we have deployed and tested networks, applications and mobile devices for service operators in Canada. That depth is why technology and telecom vendor management remain at the core of what we do.

We specialize in “Capital D” delivery executed through proven governance and a culture of leadership, accountability, and straight communication.

What makes us different

On your side of the table.

On your side, by design

We sit on your side of the table. We own sourcing, contracts, budget and acceptance. Partners own execution. We work for you, not for the partners. They don’t pay us.

Safe access to cost-effective delivery

Experience with leading and mid-sized delivery firms, and a clear view of the market and its delivery challenges, lets us match partner, price and risk to your requirements, and manage that risk once work starts.

Independent verification

Our own team runs final verification and testing. Nothing is accepted until it has been checked against the criteria you signed off.

Our values

What we hold ourselves to.

People First

The health and growth of our people, our partners and our clients come first. It is the right thing to do, and motivated people build highly effective teams.

Results That Hold Up

We are committed to getting our clients’ products and services to market. We focus on outcomes, delivered through proven principles, the right partners and independent verification, and we train our people on all three.

Client Focus

Client success is our business. We treat every client as if they were our first, and we measure ourselves by their results and their feedback.

Open Book

Honest, frank communication is essential on complex programs. We set up governance early so our team, our clients and the partners we manage can speak openly, and we show you the numbers: spend, savings and test results.

Our delivery principles (DP5)

The same five principles shape each engagement, from a single sourcing event to a multi-year program.

Scope Clarity

Before work starts, everyone agrees in writing: requirements, deliverables, milestones, dependencies and dates. Clear scope is the first defence against delays and surprise change requests, and it is what we hold partners to. We don’t play the change request game.

Frank Communication

Bad news is cheapest early. We track every dependency, say plainly when a deliverable or date is at risk, and escalate fast, to our partners and to you. Nobody should find out late that a program was off track.

Big Picture View

Everyone on the engagement, ours and our partners’, understands where you are headed, not just what is due this quarter. That guides decisions on knowledge transfer, continuity, resourcing and the next phase, so today’s choices don’t cause tomorrow’s problems.

Key Partnerships

Strong relationships with your stakeholders and every partner at the table, at project and executive level, give us the visibility to clear bottlenecks early and a ready escalation path when we need one.

Be Brave

Getting results takes a culture of bravery, confidence and steadfastness. We hold partners to what they committed to, push back on scope, price and quality when something is off, and say the hard thing early, to partners and to you. We stay with a program until the result is delivered.

Techworks Academy

Delivery-focused onboarding for building winning teams.

What we train our people on. It is for our team and Tiger Team specialists, and, by arrangement, for partner and client teams who want to work our way.
