This company is truly a stroke of genius! For small organizations like ours — just starting out, in a brand-new niche and with modest revenue at first — being able to benefit from support to learn and build the greatest possible autonomy in managing our website was exactly what we needed. And what a gift for teaching from Myriam-Zaa Normandin and Erick Frappier! We are delighted with the results and with our progress.

Since 2011, the magazine À bâbord ! has relied on the professional services and skills of Myriam-Zaa Normandin for every technological development project in the digital world. Myriam-Zaa brilliantly designed and built our integrated website. More than an archive, the À bâbord ! website has now become a central tool for organizing and managing our subscriptions (database, communication and online subscriptions) as well as for promoting our activities. Her expertise was also invaluable in producing the digital versions (ePub and Kindle) of the magazine. Finally, Myriam-Zaa is easy and pleasant to communicate with, she is a great listener and shows proven expertise in new technologies and an undeniable talent for teaching. She follows up on projects efficiently.

I have worked with Zaa for nearly 5 years within various structures at UQAM and for CIMtl. Whether in management, creativity, ideas, listening, time or meeting deadlines, she has always shown great professionalism and never let me down, even exceeding my expectations and always delivering projects exactly as I had pictured them. I recommend her constantly, and all my business partners are satisfied.

Dear Zaa, thank you for your invaluable collaboration throughout the preparation and running of this summer school. The students greatly appreciated having timely access to the speakers’ various texts and presentations, thanks to your work putting them online. Overall, this 4th edition was a real success — in terms of the number of participants and the variety of speakers, as well as the richness of the content and the exchanges between participants and speakers. Looking forward to our next collaborations.
