Montreal Software Development Company

Montreal offers unique advantages: (1) World-class AI expertise through MILA (Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms) and Yoshua Bengio's Turing Award-winning research, (2) Leading video game development hub (Ubisoft, EA, Warner Bros), (3) Bilingual capabilities (English/French) for Quebec market compliance, (4) Aerospace software expertise (Bombardier, CAE), (5) 20-30% cost advantage compared to US tech hubs, (6) Eastern Time Zone for US East Coast alignment, (7) Strong academic talent from McGill, Concordia, and Université de Montréal.

We specialize in six key Montreal industries: (1) AI & Machine Learning - leveraging MILA research for deep learning, NLP, computer vision, and French language AI, (2) Video Game Development - game engines, multiplayer systems, VR/AR experiences, (3) Aerospace & Aviation - flight systems, maintenance software, simulation training, (4) Pharmaceutical & Biotech - clinical trials, research data management, regulatory compliance, (5) E-Commerce - bilingual platforms compliant with Bill 96/101, (6) Financial Services - trading platforms, regulatory reporting, fintech applications.

Montreal software development costs vary by project complexity: Simple projects (MVP, basic features): $25,000-$50,000 CAD, 2-3 months. Medium complexity (custom workflows, integrations): $50,000-$150,000 CAD, 3-6 months. Enterprise solutions (AI/ML, complex systems): $150,000+ CAD, 6-12+ months. Bilingual software (English/French with Bill 96 compliance) adds 15-25% for translation, localization, and legal review. Hourly rates: $100-$200 CAD for developers, $150-$250 CAD for AI/ML specialists, $80-$120 CAD for bilingual QA testers. Montreal offers 20-30% cost savings compared to Toronto and US markets.

Yes, we specialize in bilingual software development compliant with Quebec language laws (Bill 96 and Bill 101). Our services include: (1) Bilingual UI/UX design with French-first or simultaneous English/French interfaces, (2) French language localization for all user-facing content, (3) Bilingual documentation (user guides, help systems, training materials), (4) French-language customer support and maintenance, (5) Bill 96/101 compliance review ensuring French language prominence, (6) French NLP and AI for Quebec-specific applications.

We leverage Montreal's AI ecosystem to deliver: (1) Deep Learning - neural networks, transformers, GANs for computer vision and NLP, (2) Natural Language Processing - French and English language models, sentiment analysis, chatbots, (3) Computer Vision - object detection, facial recognition, video analytics, (4) Reinforcement Learning - autonomous systems, game AI, robotics, (5) AI Infrastructure - MLOps, model deployment, monitoring, scaling on AWS/Azure/GCP, (6) French Language AI - Quebec-specific NLP models compliant with language regulations.

Montreal project timelines vary by scope and complexity: Simple projects (MVP, basic features): 2-3 months including discovery, design, development, QA, and deployment. Medium complexity (custom integrations, bilingual features): 3-6 months with iterative Agile sprints. Enterprise solutions (AI/ML, complex systems): 6-12+ months with phased rollouts. Bilingual projects add 2-4 weeks for French translation, localization review, and Bill 96/101 compliance verification. Game development: 6-18 months depending on platform, complexity, and multiplayer features. AI/ML projects: 4-10 months including data preparation, model training, validation, and deployment. We follow Agile methodology with 2-week sprints.
