In constant evolution
to help others evolve

CANEA was founded on the idea of helping companies and organizations to become better, more efficient and more profitable. In short, to help others evolve.

From consultancy to training support

Initially, it provided consultancy services to organizations that wanted to be certified or otherwise quality assured. From there, we soon realized that there was a lack of good training in our specialist areas. Put simply, our consultants developed customized training courses, based on the research of others and their own experience. These soon became both sought after and popular, and an increasingly important part of our business. Most importantly, as we got better, it helped our clients get even better. Which in turn made us better!

Last piece of the puzzle in place

The next big step in our development was taken in the late 1990s, again in response to the needs of our clients. By developing effective IT solutions for document management and business workflows, we were not only able to keep up with the market, but to lead it As it turned out, in a period of internationalization and emerging digitalization, the timing was excellent. IT solutions soon proliferated and there is now a complete family of modules - CANEA ONE - which has been disseminated and recognized internationally.

Together with management consultants and training, we have created what can truly be called comprehensive solutions. Our span is, so to speak, also our cutting edge!

Practise what
we preach

From day one, CANEA has been run by employees who are themselves active in the business. Some spend their days thinking about what IT solutions of the future will enable and require. Others lead a training course one day and are on consulting assignments the next. What we have in common is that we keep abreast of market needs and our client's realities in the exciting intersection between strategy and implementation. Always responsive to what our clients need, not just what they ask for. The day we stop listening, being curious and evolving ourselves, is when we should do something else.
