A domestically controlled, Canadian-owned productivity platform offers businesses and households a path to reclaim control over their information.
Canadians pay for these services and still end up as the product. We think people are ready for a different deal.”— Mark Morais, Founder and CEO, SoomiTORONTO, CANADA, July 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Soomi has launched a waitlist for a fully Canadian productivity suite, designed as a sovereign alternative to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Wholly Canadian-owned and hosted within Canada, Soomi consolidates email, files, documents, and meetings into one platform, all under Canadian ownership and governed by Canadian law.
The rollout comes at a deliberate moment. As Canadians reassess their dependence on American technology and the political landscape to the south becomes increasingly uncertain, the issue of where a nation’s data resides—and who can access it—has evolved from a specialized IT topic into a discussion for boardrooms and kitchen tables alike. A rising “buy Canadian” sentiment is prompting people to keep their spending, employment, and information within the country.
For years, the platforms that most Canadians use daily have been American-controlled. This creates two issues. First, data stored on these services can be accessed under U.S. law, regardless of which physical data centre holds it—meaning Canadian storage alone does not shield it. Second, many users have inadvertently become the commodity: their personal information harvested, their attention sold, and their content increasingly fed into AI systems they never agreed to.
Soomi operates on a straightforward principle: your data belongs to you. The company is entirely Canadian-owned, keeps all customer data inside Canada, and functions under Canadian legal jurisdiction. Soomi displays no advertisements, does not harvest or sell user data, and never trains AI on customer content. The service is offered in both English and French.
“Canadians pay for these services and still end up as the product,” said Mark Morais, Founder and CEO of Soomi. “We think people are ready for a different deal. Pay a fair price, own your data, and keep it home. Soomi is a Canadian home for the tools people use every day.”
Soomi combines the essential tools that a business or family truly requires. Soomi Email and Calendar handle correspondence and scheduling on a custom domain. A complete office suite includes Soomi Drive for file storage, along with Docs, Sheets, Presentation, and Photos. Soomi Talk delivers video meetings and messaging. All components work through a single sign-in and remain fully compatible with Microsoft file formats, with open formats supported throughout—so migrating to Soomi doesn’t mean abandoning existing work. Regardless of the format chosen, users can share, export, or open files anywhere.
“Sovereignty is not a slogan for us, it is the architecture,” Morais added. “Being Canadian owned and Canadian hosted is the whole point, and it is the one thing the global platforms cannot copy without walking away from their own model.”
Soomi is now accepting waitlist registrations at https://soomi.ca and will soon begin inviting customers to set up accounts. Pricing has yet to be finalized, but the company states its plans will be highly competitive with the major platforms. Soomi operates as a paid service by design, with no surveillance-supported free tier.
