We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey — Canadian Info Tech is now an official Odoo Learning Partner. This strategic partnership reflects our commitment to offering cutting-edge business solutions backed by one of the world’s most dynamic ERP platforms. It also opens the door to a new wave of opportunities where innovation, scalability, and reliability converge.
Our partnership with Odoo marks more than just a badge — it reinforces our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what enterprise systems can do, especially in industries where standard solutions often fall short. In true Canadian Info Tech fashion, we’re not just adopting Odoo — we’re reinventing how it’s implemented.
The Innovation: Disaster-Recovery-Proof Odoo Architecture
At the core of this announcement is an ambitious and forward-thinking project we’ve been quietly developing: a disaster-recovery-proof Odoo architecture designed to solve a major problem for industrial businesses operating across remote locations.
The Challenge
Many industrial groups manage multiple plants in disconnected geographies — some of them in remote, infrastructure-limited environments. These plants often generate critical accounting and operations data that needs to be centrally consolidated, but network instability, latency, and lack of reliable internet access can lead to incomplete synchronization, data loss, or lagging visibility for the head office.
Traditional cloud-only deployments are not ideal for such environments. On the other hand, standalone on-premise systems lack the centralized control and reporting needed by HQ management.
Our Solution
Canadian Info Tech is currently engineering a hybrid system that blends the strengths of local computing and cloud architecture in a truly disaster-resilient design:
- Local Odoo Instances as Master Databases
Each remote plant runs its own full-featured local Odoo instance that acts as the master source of truth. This means critical operations — such as stock movements, manufacturing, time tracking, and especially accounting — are always available and responsive, even during internet outages. - Scheduled Sync to Central Cloud Odoo
Instead of relying on real-time syncing (which often fails in remote locations), our architecture uses intelligent, scheduled synchronization routines to push updates from the local instance to the central cloud-based consolidated Odoo database. - Centralized Reporting & Group-Level Visibility
The HQ can securely access the consolidated cloud database, which aggregates data from all plants. This setup ensures that decision-makers always have access to the most recent updates across the enterprise without disrupting the workflows at remote sites. - Disaster Recovery by Design
In the event of a local system failure or hardware damage, the last synced copy of each database is always available from the cloud — and vice versa. This dual-source design provides redundancy and operational continuity far superior to either cloud-only or offline-only models.
Why This Matters
For Industrial Groups
This approach is tailor-made for companies with plants and operations that face:
- Intermittent internet access
- Harsh environmental conditions
- Remote geographies with limited support infrastructure
- Centralized accounting and compliance regulations
Whether you're running cement factories, power generation sites, oil and gas terminals, or offshore platforms, our hybrid Odoo architecture ensures no data is lost, and no decision is delayed.
For CFOs and Financial Controllers
Accurate, timely, and secure accounting data is non-negotiable. Our system supports group-level financial consolidation while enabling each plant to operate autonomously. You gain real-time visibility, consistent chart of accounts, standardized reporting, and synchronized ledgers — without compromising speed or reliability.
For IT Managers
Say goodbye to choosing between uptime and visibility. With local Odoo deployments that never go down and scheduled secure synchronization to the cloud, your infrastructure becomes both robust and manageable. Central patches and updates can still be performed across the cloud layer while local customizations remain intact.
Training and Empowerment: The Learning Partner Advantage
As an Odoo Learning Partner, Canadian Info Tech doesn’t stop at deployment. Our team is undergoing ongoing official training from Odoo’s core educators. This ensures:
- Our implementation teams follow best practices
- We maintain technical and functional expertise
- We can train your staff confidently using Odoo-certified materials
- Your business is aligned with Odoo’s long-term product roadmap
We are not just integrators — we are educators and enablers.
Looking Ahead: Standardizing ERP in Challenging Environments
Becoming an Odoo Learning Partner is not the end — it’s a new beginning. Canadian Info Tech is committed to bringing standardized, scalable ERP solutions to environments where others simply can’t.
We’ve listened to clients who say, “We need centralized accounting, but we can’t rely on internet.” We’ve heard plant managers say, “We want to digitize operations, but our current system is either too slow or too generic.” And we’ve answered by building something entirely new.
Let’s Talk
If you’re an industrial group looking to modernize your ERP, consolidate your accounting, or simply bring structure to your remote operations — we’d love to show you how our disaster-recovery-proof Odoo solution can transform your business.
