Entrepreneurs Declare, "This Can Be Better"

When the tech bubble burst in 2001, Scott Carson saw an opportunity. With an industry devalued and thousands of tech professionals jobless, Scott sought to reinvigorate enterprise technology consulting. The premise was simple: make technology affordable, and easy to use. The means to solving the formula involved a creative mix of both art and science: two opposite ends of a spectrum connected by the power of the internet.

Imagine Buying Money...

(We thought that might get your attention)

Within 1 month of creating Storm Applied Information Technologies, the demand for integrated systems - fuelled by a tremendous collaborative energy between Storm and its clients - prompted a re-brand. Storm Applied Technologies passionately finds creative ways of making clients more efficient, productive, and ultimately profitable. At the same time, we refuse to deviate from our core values of innovation, professionalism, and respect, in a fresh, youthful environment. If we can't find you a service that utilizes existing systems, we'll build a new one, to make you more money. A relationship with Storm is an investment in your profits.

Your Success is Assured with Our Committed Team

With humble beginnings as a one-man proprietorship, Storm Applied Technologies has now evolved to a full service enterprise consulting firm with a full stack team with skills in architecture, design, development, project management, and support. In addition, we empower youth to plant their roots and discover their individual potential.

Our Fearless Leader

Scott Carson

Scott holds a degree in Computer Science, with additional studies in visual arts. During his studies, he was featured in the article, "The fine art of science and multimedia", and his paper on cross-platform networks resides in the University of Regina Department of Computer Science as an example of outstanding work.

Scott's life passion is martial arts, to which he is the head instructor of Shaolin Dragon Kenpo School. Further to his athletic lifestyle, he is a national certified tennis instructor as well as dragon boat coach. In addition, he is a certified teacher of English to speakers of other languages.

Scott looks with optimism towards the future, and with good reason. Scott has motivated crowds young and old across the province. He has been featured in numerous newspaper, magazine, radio, and TV reports, and he is now an active MC, performer, and motivator.

Scott's vast board experience includes Kiwanis Club of Regina, University of Regina Alumni Assoc., Tennis Saskatchewan, Regina Business Development Club, All Nations Healin' Thru Artz, and Uplands Community Association .

With a firm belief in empowering youth, the Storm team sponsored "Communicating Community", a city-wide contest to reward youth for contributing to their community. In addition, their free community festival "Storming the Island", attained such popularity that it garnered interest to bring it back as a full Leadership Summit.

On the occasion that Scott manages to attain free time, he can be found dancing with the love of his life, Malia, auditioning for reality TV shows (just missing out on "The MuchMusic VJ Search" and ABC's "The Bachelor") or customizing his Trans Am (from a childhood fixation with Knight Rider). He firmly holds on to the crazy dream that he'll get one week of free time to show his new daughter & son his favourite fishing hole at Narrow Hills Provincial Park in northern Saskatchewan.
