Building Business 2.0 — for real-world small businesses

I’m J.P. Henri — IT analyst and AI systems consultant based in Gatineau. I help small businesses save time, modernize operations, and produce more marketing using practical AI and automation (without unnecessary complexity).

Business 2.0

Business 2.0 is my practical framework for using technology in a realistic, simple and sustainable way for small businesses.

Most small businesses don’t need a dozen new tools — they need clarity, less repetitive work, and better visibility on what truly matters. My work starts from what already exists: the shop floor, the inbox, spreadsheets, and customer conversations. Then we add just enough structure, automation and AI to create measurable improvement.

  • Understand reality: how work actually flows today (not how it “should” work).
  • Simplify first: remove friction before adding new systems.
  • Add targeted automation: only where it saves real time or reduces risk.
  • Use AI as an assistant: for content, documentation and decision support — not to replace people.
  • Measure impact: time saved, fewer errors, better customer experience.

Everything I test eventually gets applied in real projects with real businesses — like the ones below.

Projects

Examples of applied IT, AI and Business 2.0 — always tied to real businesses and concrete outcomes.

Business 2.0 · Local SMB

Chez Gerry 1958

Premium shoe restoration · Gatineau, Québec

Long-term digital transformation for a high-end cobbler: website, clear service catalog, local SEO, before/after content, and backend workflows that simplify mail-in repairs.

This is my main sandbox for testing how far Business 2.0 can go inside a single local shop without losing its personality.

Static site · Food

Chuck’s Casse-Croute

Lightweight restaurant website · GitHub Pages

Fast, minimal and low-maintenance website for a local restaurant. Demonstrates how a small business can look professional online without a heavy CMS.

E-commerce · Outdoor

Pronatureqc.com (2015–2018)

Full online store · Archived

Large-catalog e-commerce project: navigation, product content, SEO structure and performance, aligned with brand identity.

IT Consulting

Assystech SENC (2015–2019)

Consulting · Web development

Co-founded IT consulting and web development firm working with SMEs on infrastructure, custom websites and ongoing support.

This experience shaped my Business 2.0 philosophy: long-term relationships, plain language, and solutions aligned with real constraints.

If you have an idea or project and you’re not sure where to start, we can begin with a simple conversation.

I focus on small businesses, local projects and teams who want to modernize without losing their identity. Whether it’s a website, workflow, documentation or an AI use case, the first step is understanding your reality.

You don’t need a full brief. A few lines about who you are, what you do and what’s slowing you down is enough to start.
