The Oracle Experts Behind Talan’s Innovation

For more than two decades, our team has helped organizations transform ideas into scalable Oracle-powered applications. What began in Montreal in 2002 as Insum evolved into Talan’s dedicated Oracle Technologies business unit — a global Center of Excellence for Oracle APEX and Oracle Cloud solutions. 

Our team has delivered Oracle-based solutions across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East — helping clients in more than 20 countries achieve smarter, faster results. 

Our Story

From Insum to Talan: a journey built on collaboration and community. Founded in 2002 by Michel St-Amour, Francis Mignault, and Patrick Bonneville, Insum was created to help organizations harness the power of Oracle to boost productivity, expand capabilities, and deliver innovation faster. 

Collaboration has always been our foundation — with clients, partners, and each other. Today, as part of Talan, we bring that same spirit of teamwork and curiosity to projects around the world.

Community & Expertise

What’s an Oracle ACE?

Oracle ACEs are experts recognized by Oracle for their deep expertise, thought leadership, and commitment to knowledge sharing. Having multiple ACEs on our team means our clients benefit from world-class insight — often from the very people shaping best practices in the Oracle community. 

Our experts regularly speak at conferences, publish blogs, and develop tools that help developers everywhere get more out of Oracle APEX and Oracle Cloud.
