Data Infrastructure That Drives Canadian Decisions
Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt and BI stacks engineered to consolidate Canadian data, automate reporting, and surface metrics your CEO trusts.
Canadian companies are drowning in dashboards and starving for trusted data. Every SaaS platform has its own analytics. Bilingual operations have data fragmented across English and French systems. PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 expect documented data flows that most analytics stacks were never designed for. Meanwhile your CFO can't get a clean cash position by Friday close.
Buraq builds Canadian modern data stacks that consolidate fragmented sources into a trusted warehouse, model the data with dbt, surface it through BI tools your team already uses, and govern it for Canadian regulatory expectations. Output is a data function that supports growth instead of slowing it down.
What teams in Canada are up against
Multiple departments reporting different numbers for the same KPI.
Bilingual operations producing parallel reports that disagree.
Manual Excel exports consuming hours of analyst time every week.
Data engineering bottleneck — every new dashboard requires an engineer.
PIPEDA and Law 25 data subject requests requiring weeks of manual work.
Where we deliver across Canada

Outcomes for Canada teams
One source of truth
Warehouse consolidation, semantic layer and governed metrics so the same KPI returns the same number across every team and tool.
Bilingual reporting under one roof
English and French reporting from the same warehouse with localized labels, formatting and BI delivery.
Canadian data residency
Snowflake or BigQuery deployed in Canadian regions for clients requiring Canadian residency.
Self-service that doesn't break trust
dbt models and governed semantic layer so business users explore data without inventing new definitions of every metric.
Built for the Canadian modern data stack reality
The Canadian modern data stack has consolidated around the same patterns as the U.S. — Snowflake or BigQuery, Fivetran or Airbyte, dbt, semantic layer, BI tooling — with the added constraint that Canadian customers increasingly require Canadian-region data residency. We pick the right components for your scale, team and regulatory posture.
Where pre-built connectors don't exist, we build custom ingestion. Where dbt models need optimization, we refactor for cost and performance. Where dashboards proliferate without governance, we consolidate around a semantic layer.
Aligned to Canadian regulatory expectations
PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 expect specific things from data architectures: documented data flows, data minimization, defensible retention, and the ability to satisfy data subject requests for access and deletion. Most analytics stacks were never designed for these requirements and treat them as ad-hoc projects every time they come up.
We design Canadian data infrastructure with these obligations as first-class concerns. Data subject request workflows automated. Retention rules enforced. Audit trails on data transformations. Output is an analytics function that satisfies your privacy officer as easily as it satisfies your CFO.
