The creative layer

# Canva, in production.

Every team creating on brand, at speed, without waiting on design. Deployed, adopted,
and governed across the business.

Canva at enterprise scale is not a bigger licence. It is a deployment. We run it
as five steps, sold one at a time. See the estate, plan the rollout, go live, govern
it, and connect it to the rest of your stack. You start where it makes sense, and
you only buy the next step once you have seen the value of the last.

Why it breaks

## Most content dies in the handoffs

Someone needs a thing. Someone makes it. Someone signs it off. It goes out. Someone
is meant to keep the brand, the versions and the access under control.

In most businesses that chain runs on email, a design team that has become the bottleneck,
an approval step that does not scale, and a shared drive nobody governs. We map 
the whole chain, show you where it breaks and what each break is costing you, then
put Canva in the right places to fix it.

How we run it

## Five steps. Sold one at a time.

Two gates, then a menu. You only buy the next step once you have seen the value 
of the last.

 1. [Step 1AssessYour Canva estate, measured. A number you did not have before.](https://xanadu.co/services/canva/#assess)
 2. [Step 2BlueprintThe costed roadmap everything else is scoped off.](https://xanadu.co/services/canva/#blueprint)
 3. Scoped off the Blueprint roadmap
 4. [Step 3EnableThe go-live: configured, launched, trained, adopted.](https://xanadu.co/services/canva/#enable)
 5. [Step 4GovernBrand locked, spend controlled. Stands alone.](https://xanadu.co/services/canva/#govern)
 6. [Step 5BuildConnected to your stack, so Canva is part of the workflow.](https://xanadu.co/services/canva/#build)

And we do not disappear after go-live. Renewals, adoption and expansion are handled,
included or as a premium tier.

**Every engagement is fixed fee, fixed scope, and stands alone.**
Senior operators,
small teams, no bench.

Step 1 · Free

## See your Canva estate

**Free. A number you did not have before.**

We pull your actual usage and licence data and show you what is really happening.
Shadow accounts on personal emails. Adobe licences paying for what Canva already
does. Spend leaking through seats nobody uses.

What you walk away with

A Canva Estate Report: every seat, every shadow account, and the overlapping design
spend, in one place, with a number attached. It is the picture the rest of the plan
is built on, and it costs you nothing.

### The detail

DurationAbout a week, from data to report.

CommercialsFree.

You bringAdmin access to your Canva organisation, or an introduction to whoever 
owns the licences.

Once you can see the estate, the question is what to do about it. That is the Blueprint.

Step 2 · Paid

## The Canva Blueprint

**Map it, cost it, plan it.**

A working session series that maps how content actually gets made in your business,
from request to distribution. We find where it breaks, price the cost-out — Adobe
to Affinity, Acrobat to Nitro — and set the brand and technical architecture.

What you walk away with

 *  **A costed roadmap.** With a business case your finance team can underwrite.
 *  **The architecture, agreed.** Brand and technical, settled before the build.
 *  **The cost-out, priced.** The savings on the table before you spend a thing.
 *  **A clear sequence.** What to do first, what it costs, and what each step is
   worth.

Everything after this is scoped off that roadmap, one step at a time.

### The detail

Duration2 to 3 weeks.

CommercialsFixed fee, agreed before we start.

You bringA sponsor, and access to the people who create and approve content.

A plan with a number on it. Not a workshop report.

Step 3 · Launch

## Enable

**Go live, properly. Not a training day.**

Blueprint is the plan. Enable is the launch. Most rollouts fail quietly: licences
get bought, a few teams try it, and within a quarter it is just another tab nobody
opens. A proper go-live is how you avoid being one of them.

What you walk away with

 * **Configured and secured.** Roles, SSO, permissions and data controls set to 
   your policy, with the right people in the right teams from day one.
 * **Brand, built in.** Your brand kit and locked templates live, with Canva’s AI
   set to produce on brand by default rather than off a blank page.
 * **Teams trained by role.** Sessions built around the work each team actually 
   does, with prompt libraries and assets that outlive the session.
 * **Adoption, proven.** Run to Canva’s 80% activation target and measured against
   it, with a 30-day readout. Trained teams, not assumed ones.

### The detail

Duration4 to 6 weeks to launch, plus the 30-day readout.

CommercialsFixed fee.

You bringYour sponsor, named champions, and IT for identity and configuration.

When everyone is creating, two questions arrive on their own: is the brand safe,
and what does it cost. That is Govern.

Step 4 · Control

## Govern

**Keep the brand, control the spend.**

Locked templates and approval workflows so the brand survives scale. Licence and
cost management so you stop paying for seats nobody uses. Shadow accounts brought
into the fold. A clean admin model with named owners.

This step stands alone. Many organisations start here, years after they first rolled
Canva out, when the brand has drifted and the licence bill no longer adds up.

### The detail

Duration2 to 3 weeks.

CommercialsFixed fee. Also available standalone.

You bringA brand or licence owner, and a willingness to see the real number.

A governed estate is one you can build on.

Step 5 · Integrations

## Build

**Connect it to how you run.**

The integrations that make Canva part of the workflow, not a separate tab. You pick
what you need. We build once and reuse, so it holds its value.

![An integration architecture connecting Canva Enterprise to brand systems, CI Hub,
Nitro and autofill workflows](/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/xa-canva-build.png)

What you walk away with

 *  **CI Hub, connected.** Wired to your DAM, so assets flow both ways.
 *  **Nitro for signing.** So Acrobat can go.
 *  **Autofill from your data.** So templates populate themselves.
 *  **Custom AI workflows and apps.** Where they earn their place.

Each one built once, documented, and handed over.

### The detail

DurationFrom 3 weeks per integration.

CommercialsFixed fee per integration.

DeliveryWith our integration partners, CI Hub and Nitro, where relevant.

You bringSystem access and a named technical contact.

Canva stops being a tool people open and becomes part of how the work moves.
