Indigenous BUSINESS REPORT 29 TECH INNOVATORS OUTPUTEASE OutputEase.com M atthew Toner, a member of the Kitchi Sipi First Nation, is a believer in the power of technology to remove economic barriers. In 2024, that belief inspired him to launch OutputEase, a Métis-owned consul- tancy firm that helps small- and mid- sized Canadian organizations grow through tech-driven strategies and solutions. While the company works with a broad range of clients, what sets it apart is its focused approach to servicing Indigenous communities. “OutputEase grew out of my time working in the federal government, where I witnessed firsthand how much stress, time and money organizations pour into systems and processes that could be streamlined or automated entirely,” Toner tells Indigenous Business Report. “I saw talented people spending their energy on repetitive tasks instead of meaningful work, and I knew there had to be a better way.” At OutputEase, that better way means “reshaping working standards” by lever- aging a mix of technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation and custom software solutions. The firm guides clients through a four-phase business growth process they call Discover, Design, Build & Implement and Train & Support. “We believe technology should remove barriers, not create them,” Toner says. “Our work is guided by the principle that every client’s situation is unique, “We believe technology should remove barriers, not create them.... This is especially important when working with communities facing distinct challenges, whether that means remote connectivity limitations, smaller local markets or the need to preserve cultural authenticity.” Matthew Toner, OutputEase Scan to learn more Energy with purpose Our work is guided by a responsibility to learn, listen, and take action — ensuring that our projects support community priorities, create shared opportunities, and contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive future.
