Yes. GAM Tech supports Esri ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS (open source), MapInfo, and specialty municipal GIS platforms. Services include administration, user access, data integration with planning and permit systems, public-facing map portals, and open data initiatives.

GAM Tech provides technology controls supporting provincial public sector FOI legislation — MFIPPA (Ontario), FIPPA BC, FOIP (Alberta), LAFOIPP (Saskatchewan), FIPPA Manitoba, Quebec's Act Respecting Access to Documents Held by Public Bodies and Law 25, and Atlantic provinces' legislation. Specific controls include records retention aligned to your Municipal Act, MFA across all FOI records systems, audit-ready logging, access review procedures, and documented response support for FOI requests. Your municipality's FOI coordinator and CAO retain responsibility for compliance determinations; our role is to ensure the technology environment supports what the legislation requires.

A 5-minute response from ticket submission to first human engagement, delivered on 99%+ of tickets, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. For critical public service incidents (council meeting technology failure, resident-facing portal outage, FOI records access issue), escalation to senior engineering is immediate. During scheduled council meetings and public hearings, GAM Tech provides elevated monitoring and standby support.

Canadian municipalities are among the highest-value ransomware targets in Canada, and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security has issued repeated warnings. GAM Tech's cybersecurity approach for municipalities includes baseline controls (EDR, MFA, phishing simulations, email filtering, incident response planning) on every plan, Ultimate MDR 24/7 managed detection on Gold and Platinum tiers, and security compliance program alignment with CCCS guidance on Platinum. For municipalities requiring extended cyber insurance coverage, we support the technical control implementation that insurers require.

GAM Tech configures client environments with Canadian data residency wherever possible — Canadian-hosted Microsoft 365 tenants (Canada Central or Canada East regions), Canadian-hosted or Canadian-replicated backup, and vendor platforms selected for Canadian data residency commitments. For municipalities with specific sovereignty requirements (for example resident data required to remain within province), we document the configuration before engagement.

GAM Tech supports voter list management, election-day technology deployment, poll book administration, and electronic result tabulation where legally permitted by your municipality's election bylaw.
