An office suite fully owned and operated in Canada provides businesses and families with a means to reclaim control over their data.
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 completely Canadian office suite, positioning it as a sovereign option to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. With Canadian ownership and Canadian hosting, Soomi consolidates email, files, documents, and meetings into a single platform for businesses, organizations, and families, all governed by Canadian law and ownership.
The launch comes at a purposeful moment. As Canadians reassess their dependence on American technology and the political environment south of the border becomes increasingly unpredictable, the issue of where a nation’s data resides—and who can access it—has shifted from a niche IT concern to a topic discussed in boardrooms and at kitchen tables. A rising “buy Canadian” movement encourages people to keep their spending, jobs, and data within the country.
For years, the platforms most Canadians rely on daily have been American-owned. This creates two issues. First, data stored on these services can be compelled under U.S. law regardless of which data centre it physically resides in, meaning Canadian location alone does not prevent access. Second, many users have quietly become the product: their information is mined, their attention is sold, and increasingly their content is processed through AI systems they never agreed to.
Soomi operates on a simpler principle: your data belongs to you. The company is 100% Canadian-owned, stores all customer data within Canada, and functions under Canadian law. Soomi does not display ads, does not mine or sell customer data, and never uses customer content for AI training. 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 integrates the essential tools that a business or household actually requires. Soomi Email and Calendar manage mail and scheduling on your own domain. A full office suite includes Soomi Drive for file storage, along with Docs, Sheets, Presentation, and Photos. Soomi Talk provides video meetings and messaging. Everything operates behind a single sign-in and remains fully compatible with Microsoft files, with open formats supported throughout, so transitioning to Soomi does not require abandoning your existing work. Regardless of the format you choose, you can share, export, or open your 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 sign-ups at https://soomi.ca and will begin inviting customers to create accounts soon. Pricing has not been finalized, but the company states its plans will be very competitive with the major platforms. Soomi is a paid service by design, with no surveillance-funded free tier.
