Seeking diamonds in the rough

Every company has a story to share, and we want to hear yours.

Our story is built on the vision to become the trusted technology advisor for our clients. Our vision is supported by strong values and a culture of inclusion that has gained momentum with the addition of each new member of our team over the years. Our collective force is what makes us unique, and each new team member contributes to the evolution of our capabilities to better serve our current and future clients.

 

Living up to our name, meaning truth, Alithya embraces a business model that avoids industry buzzwords and technical jargon to deliver straight talk to our clients. That business model extends to our conversations with business leaders exploring the potential benefits of merging their companies with ours.
 

Our merger philosophy

Collective sphere

Patience is a virtue, and a key to our diligent approach to finding the right company, at the right time, for the right price. A significant factor of that equation is our desire to work in collaboration with leaders who are seeking the right place for their people to continue their professional growth.

 

At Alithya, our approach to mergers is deeply rooted in the spirit of ensuring that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. As a company driven by the collective intelligence of our people and our clients, our collaborative nature is fertile ground for fostering a culture of partnerships, where mutual respect and shared values form the pillars of our relationships.

When considering potential mergers, cultural alignment is a priority. We actively seek out companies and leaders with whom we share common values and goals, and we carefully evaluate each company's business model to ensure alignment with our own strategic objectives. Our commitment to collaboration, cultural fit, strategic alignment, and patience guides us in our merger endeavors, ensuring successful and sustainable partnerships for all parties in the long term.

 

Alithya’s culture celebrates entrepreneurship in all its forms, welcoming owners and senior leaders who aspire to continue to grow within our team after joining the Alithya family.
