Why technology alone isn’t enough to transform an organization
One year after Wepoint was created, Vincent Godcharles, President of Wepoint Canada, sat down with La Presse to reflect on the company’s first year and share his perspective on organizational transformation.
This first year has been about bringing people together around a shared mission and new ways of working. With that foundation in place, Wepoint is now looking to accelerate its growth.
For Vincent Godcharles, the term “digital transformation” can sometimes be limiting. Updating software or replacing a legacy system is primarily a matter of technological evolution. Transforming an organization goes further, changing how it operates and how it creates value.
Transformation starts with “why”
Before choosing a technology, the first question should be: why transform? High costs, cybersecurity risks, new business needs: the problem to be solved should guide the solution. And that solution does not necessarily have to be technological. Supporting teams through change, training them and enabling the adoption of new practices remain critical.
Artificial intelligence is accelerating this evolution. At Wepoint, every new engagement now raises the question of whether AI can be part of the solution, without making it the default answer. Its impact is already being felt across technology roles. On new Wepoint projects, agents are now writing lines of code, shifting developers’ roles toward greater orchestration and analysis.
Wepoint continues to pursue its North American ambitions of reaching 1,500 experts and $250 million in revenue by 2030, continuing its growth in New York and establishing a presence in Toronto in early 2027. The goal is clear: to position Montreal as a hub for expertise and help Quebec talent extend its reach across Canada and internationally.
