Modest Tree

A special moment for us at Modest Tree this week.

We were invited by our friends at the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust (CNMT) to support their presentation at Evenings at Government House, hosted by His Honour The Honourable Mike Savage, ONS, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, and Her Honour Ms. Darlene (Killen) Savage.

CNMT delivered an outstanding presentation on HMCS Sackville and the Battle of the Atlantic—a story that means so much to our region and to Canada.

Our role was to share—for the first time publicly—the Digital Preservation work we’ve been doing to help capture the Sackville in detailed 3D, ensuring her story remains accessible long into the future.

A big thank-you to CNMT for trusting us to support such a meaningful evening. It’s an honour to play a small part in preserving the legacy of Canada’s Naval Memorial.

🚢 Heading to Deep Blue Forum 2025!

Sam Wood from Modest Tree will be in Ottawa next week, joining top 🇨🇦 defence leaders, military experts, and industry partners to explore emerging technologies and strategic innovations in the underwater domain.

As a collaboration partner on the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project, Modest Tree is proud to deliver immersive 3D training and digital in-service support solutions that ensure crews and maintenance teams are mission-ready and operationally confident. 💻⚓🎯

Sam is looking forward to strengthening connections, sharing insights, and driving conversations on how digital innovation supports Canada’s next-generation submarine capabilities.

Yesterday at the S1000D and ATA e-Business Program User Forum in Montreal, we were proud to join our partners at Pennant International Group Plc in announcing a new strategic collaboration.

“We are delighted to partner with Pennant to bring S1000D-compliant content into Tech Companion,” says Emily Smits CPA,CMA, PMP, CEO of Modest Tree.
“By combining Pennant’s proven R4i toolset with our advanced interactive viewer, we’re helping customers optimize maintenance operations, reduce downtime, and improve decision-making. Together, we’re creating a feedback loop that drives continuous improvement and innovation in how critical data is delivered and used.”

By integrating Pennant’s R4i toolset with our Tech Companion platform, we’re bridging the gap between static manuals and dynamic digital ecosystems—empowering customers to:
✅ Save time and reduce labour intensity
✅ Enhance data quality and usability
✅ Align with industry standards for maintenance and operational efficiency

The announcement was followed by a joint presentation from James St George (Pennant International Group Plc), Allan Schweitz (Onepoint Consulting), and Sam Wood (Modest Tree), highlighting how this collaboration is transforming how maintenance data is delivered, visualized, and applied across the lifecycle.

👏 Congratulations to the teams for driving innovation in maintenance, digitalization, and training technology.
