Canada Digital Adoption Program
With technology changing so fast, small and medium sized businesses often have unmet tech needs, which they don't have the budget or expertise to address. CDAP is one of the leading Government of Canada business grants.
As a certified CDAP Digital Advisor through the Boost Your Business Technology stream of the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP), we are able to support your Canadian businesses in getting:
- $15,000 grants for developing Digital Adoption Plans
- $100,000 interest-free loans through the BDC
- Funded work placements of recent graduates ($7,300 wage subsidy)
The Process
1. Application + Digital Needs Assessment
The first step is to apply for the program and fill out a short quiz to determine your digital maturity. You will be approved within 5-10 business days and have access to a list of Digital Advisors (including us) to guide you through this program. Let us help you take the stress out of your Canada Digital Adoption Program application.
2. Digital Adoption Plan
This is where we come in. Through a series of interviews reviewing your current technology, barriers you're facing, and goals for growth, we'll go through our Tech & Systems Audit which will give you a complete report on your business, our recommendations, and a roadmap to implementing them.
3. Implementation
Once we have identified your firm's needs, priorities, and made our plan, it's time to put it into action and start the tech conversion. We handle the set up end to end, coordinate with any technology vendors, and even provide training and processes to your team so you're not stuck with software you're completely clueless on using. We'll also stick around for future support and tweaks as you use it and discover what features or additional functionality you need.
