Why Red Sphere Solutions

Senior, Canadian, and built for the work that actually ships.

Based in Ottawa · serving clients across Canada
Pragmatic architecture that actually works
No ivory-tower diagrams. Designs are validated against real operations, real procurement, and real production constraints before we commit to them.
Government-grade security & compliance baked in
Protected B patterns, Zero Trust, Conditional Access, and auditable ALM are defaults — not afterthoughts bolted on at the end of a project.
We speak both tech and business
Equally comfortable in a solution-architecture review or a steering committee. We translate outcomes into Microsoft capabilities, and back.
