The Story Behind Our Agency
who we are
An "Apeeling" History of Growth.
Keystroke.ca has built a remarkable journey since its inception in 1994. Originally founded as Keystroke Quality Designs by Ken Quigley, the company quickly established a strong technical-services foundation. By 1998, it had successfully incorporated as Keystroke Quality Computing Inc., and over the next decade evolved into a full-service IT provider with a growing focus on CRM and web-based solutions.

In 2004, recognizing the power of Act! CRM, Keystroke pivoted toward becoming a trusted partner for business growth. Leveraging its deep technical know-how, the team began deploying and hosting databases nationwide. Just a few years later, the company earned the prestigious title of Act! Master Distributor for Canada and became the country’s exclusive Act! hosting provider
Through strategic acquisitions—such as Contactik in 2016 (expanding bilingual services), Handheld Contact for mobile integration, and DesignR1 and other Act! add‑on portfolio firms—Keystroke transformed from a regional player into a global powerhouse. These moves culminated in being named the #1 Act! Reseller worldwide in 2015, a position the firm has steadfastly maintained.
Today, Keystroke is not only a leader in CRM but also an innovation hub. It has developed over a hundred custom add‑on tools, launched the Linktivity suite for productivity, and delivers industry‑specific CRM solutions in sectors like wealth management, mortgage brokering, and technical support. Recognized early on with awards like Sage’s North American “Rising Star” (2008) and QuoteWerks “Best New Partner” (2011), the company continues to enrich its cloud-based services and support clients across North America and India, backed by a team of nearly thirty professionals.
Today we're proud to say our Linktivity suite and custom tables are the foundation of the new Act! Advantage.
