Who we are

NSim Technologies inc. was founded on September 13, 2004. Its founders are Messrs. Jimmy Perron, M.Sc. and Jimmy Hogan, B.Eng., MBA, both of whom have developed their expertise in software and intelligent systems development at the McGill University Laboratory. cognitive computing of Laval University.

Since its formation, the company has started the development of a technological platform that will be the source of various software and modules for the management and analysis of emergency situations (Emergency Management Systems (EMS)) and events. requiring the application of security measures. The company's products are aimed at all stakeholders with cartographic and Spatio-temporal needs. NSim Technology has expertise combining the fields of geomatics, artificial intelligence, and 2D / 3D visualization.

From 2004 to the present, the fulfillment of several mandates granted by various clients (Defense Research and Development Canada - DRDC, DND, MTQ, AMT, Quebec City, Ville de Trois-Rivières, etc.) have largely contributed to the development of NSim's technology platform.

After more than 5 years of research and development, NSim Technologies launched, in 2009, its new NSim Contour cartographic product intended for the dissemination of native vector geographic information and the exchange of real-time information. Since a suite of products and solutions have been launched and marketed.

Our team and expertise

The management team of NSim Technologies is composed of Jimmy Perron, M.Sc. and Jimmy Hogan B.ing, MBA. They have expertise in the field of artificial intelligence and simulation and over 10 years of experience in research and development and management. The NSim team is made up of a highly qualified staff (M.Sc, Ph.D.) specializing in the research and development of tomorrow's software projects.

NSim Technologies has expertise in the field of mapping, telemetry, artificial intelligence, and 2D / 3D visualization. The company is particularly targeted at the defense, security and transportation sectors.
