Independent Kraken Migration and Assurance in Canada

Kraken is crossing into Canada, and the migration onto it is where the risk sits. We give Canadian energy and utility providers independent, client side help to plan, run, assure or recover a Kraken migration.

Kraken in Canada

Kraken is building its North American presence, with Saint John Energy among its early adopters in Canada and National Grid its first integrated utility customer on the continent. As Canadian utilities look at the platform, the hard part is not the licence, it is migrating live customer and billing data cleanly and changing the operating model to match. The discipline is the same across every sector Kraken serves and every market it enters.

Two ways to work with us

Not just migration: assurance or full integration

We do more than migrations. On Kraken in Canada we work in two parts, and you can take either or both.

Part A: assurance

Independent assurance alongside Kraken and your systems integrator: readiness before you commit, the plan and contract tested, stage gates and go live assured, and data and billing reconciled, with an honest view for your board at every step.

Part B: full integration

We take on the full integration: programme leadership, integrating Kraken with your surrounding systems and industry processes, data migration, testing, cutover and hypercare, delivered by our own practitioners alongside your team.

Or both, in sequence

Many clients start with assurance and ask us to take on the integration once they have seen how we work. The same people carry the knowledge from one part to the next.

Why independent

Why a client side adviser matters

A Kraken migration almost always involves the platform provider and a large integrator, each with their own interests. That is exactly when a supplier benefits from an adviser working for it alone, holding the plan, the data and the cutover to a standard. Start with a free migration readiness check.

FAQ

Questions we are asked

Do you work in Canada?

Yes. We support Kraken migrations worldwide, including across Canada and North America. The discipline does not change with the market: data first, a rehearsed cutover and a reconciliation everyone trusts.

Are you a Kraken or Octopus partner?

No. We are independent and work for you, not for the platform. Our only interest is your migration landing well.

Can you recover a Kraken migration that is already in trouble?

Yes. We come in to assure, stabilise or recover a migration already under way, reasserting client side control and a safe, controlled path.

Who actually does the work?

Senior people who have led and recovered the largest migrations onto Kraken, backed by a bench of five Kraken practitioners.
