Why Public Sector Teams Are Switching
Since Ontario's Procurement Restriction Policy came into effect, U.S.-based vendors like Miro are no longer contractable unless they meet strict requirements. Bizby was built in direct response to this policy — making compliance simple, not a barrier.
Built for Canadian Teams
Bizby is used by teams in planning, policy, and delivery. It supports collaborative workshops, retrospectives, and visual planning — all while respecting data residency and procurement rules.
