We're Architects of Institutional Connection.
Since 2012, we've been dedicated to a single mission: helping complex organizations connect their people, knowledge, and mission through intelligently designed digital solutions.
Our North Star: Connecting Your Organization
Our name, Proximify, is our mission. We believe that the greatest challenge for any large organization is bridging the distance—between departments, between experts, between the institution and the world. We build digital ecosystems that close these gaps, facilitating communication, connection, and discovery. We achieve this by making your organization's collective knowledge more accessible and its people more connected.
Our Journey: From University Labs to Enterprise Solutions
A Foundation in Institutional Needs
Our story began in 2012, born from the complex data challenges of the Canadian university ecosystem. Our early work on collaborative research networks and academic CV management gave us a deep, foundational understanding of institutional data, workflows, and politics.
Building a Better Way
This experience led us to a powerful realization: these organizations didn't just need better websites; they needed a fundamentally better way to manage and connect their information. From this insight, we built the Uniweb Platform—a technology designed to empower non-technical users and solve the most complex digital challenges for institutions worldwide.
A Smarter Approach to Building Your Solution
"Game developers don't build a new 3D engine for every game—they build on proven platforms like Unreal or Unity. We believe the same logic applies to institutional web solutions. You don't need to build the complex, underlying technology from scratch."
We've already invested years in perfecting the Uniweb Platform, a mature, enterprise-grade foundation for managing content, data, and web presence. By building your solution on our platform, you get the best of both worlds: a tailored system that meets your unique needs, powered by proven, world-class technology.
React / SPA

AWS Infrastructure

We manage the technology, the infrastructure, and the updates. You get a fully managed, continuously improving solution without the internal IT overhead.
The Proximify Difference
Our approach is shaped by a unique blend of expertise and a core set of principles that guide every solution we build.
Strategists with Technical Depth
Our team isn't just one or the other. We are institutional strategists who understand the nuances of your world, and we are enterprise architects who build robust, secure, and scalable technology.
A Philosophy of Empowerment
We build tools that are meant to be used. Our focus is on creating intuitive, collaborative systems that empower your people to manage their own content, reducing bottlenecks and freeing up IT resources.
Building for the Long Term
We are not interested in short-term fixes. Our solutions are architected for longevity, scalability, and future integration. We build systems that grow with you.
Security as a Prerequisite
In the institutional world, trust is paramount. Security isn't an add-on; it's a foundational principle of the Uniweb Platform and our Unicloud infrastructure.
