Vancouver
From downtown law and accounting firms to Mount Pleasant studios and Broadway-corridor clinics, Vancouver's small and medium businesses run on Microsoft 365, cloud apps and hybrid teams — and need IT that keeps up without a full-time department.
North Shore
North Vancouver's economy spans Lonsdale offices and clinics, waterfront marine suppliers, film production companies and outdoor businesses from Lynn Valley to Deep Cove. In both the City and the District, those businesses need IT that keeps working through bridge delays, windstorms and busy seasons.
North Shore
Most West Vancouver businesses are small: wealth managers and financial advisors, law and accounting practices, clinics, and the independent shops and restaurants of Ambleside, Dundarave and Horseshoe Bay. Many owners also work from home, and for advisors and professional practices, client confidentiality shapes most technology decisions.
Burnaby & New Westminster
Burnaby businesses work out of office towers at Metrotown, tech and film studios, and warehouses and workshops in Big Bend, Lake City and Still Creek. That mix calls for IT that gives a secure office network and a busy warehouse floor the same attention.
Burnaby & New Westminster
Law offices near the courthouse, clinics around Royal Columbian Hospital, shops on Columbia Street and light-industrial firms in Queensborough make up much of New Westminster's business community. Most are small, many are a short walk from SkyTrain, and few have anyone whose job is IT.
Richmond
Richmond's businesses cluster around the airport, the industrial areas and No. 3 Road: freight forwarders and customs brokers, importers and distributors, restaurants and retailers, clinics and professional offices. Many serve customers in more than one language and trade with partners overseas, so their IT has to be secure and dependable.
Tri-Cities
Coquitlam's clinics, professional offices and shops around Coquitlam Centre and Austin Heights share the city with industrial and wholesale firms along United Boulevard. Most depend on Microsoft 365 and cloud software, many serve customers in more than one language, and few have the time or staff to manage IT themselves.
Tri-Cities
Much of Port Coquitlam's business community works in shops, yards and warehouses — fabricators, contractors, trucking and distribution firms around the Mary Hill Bypass — alongside retailers in Dominion Triangle and offices downtown on Shaughnessy Street. They need IT that holds up on a shop floor and fits around job schedules.
Tri-Cities
Small firms make up much of Port Moody's economy: professional and creative businesses in Suter Brook and Newport Village, the craft breweries of Brewers Row, and shops and studios along St. Johns Street in Moody Centre. Few have an IT department, yet they depend on technology every working day.
Ridge Meadows
In Maple Ridge, a business might be a Town Centre office, a contractor's yard in Albion, a home-based company in Silver Valley or a farm out toward Whonnock. That spread affects the internet options available, the devices people carry and how support visits are planned.
Ridge Meadows
Pitt Meadows fits a wide range of businesses into a small city: flight schools and aviation services at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport, blueberry and cranberry farms on land protected by dikes, and shops, trades and light industrial firms from Meadowtown to Osprey Village. Few have in-house IT staff to keep things running.
South of Fraser
Contractors and trucking companies in Campbell Heights and Port Kells, clinics near Surrey Memorial Hospital, family-run offices along King George Boulevard: Surrey's business community is broad. Few of these businesses have IT staff of their own, and their technology needs change quickly as they add people, sites and vehicles.
South of Fraser
Delta's businesses work in very different settings: warehouses and distributors in Tilbury and on Annacis Island, greenhouses and farms around Ladner, and the clinics, trades and shops of North Delta and Tsawwassen. Each needs IT that fits its site, plus a plan for storms and outages on low-lying land by the water.
South of Fraser
Langley businesses range from manufacturers in Gloucester Industrial Estates and retailers around Willowbrook to wineries, farms and equestrian operations across the Township. City or Township, the technology has to work as well in a shop, barn or tasting room as it does at a desk.
South of Fraser
White Rock is a city of small, owner-run businesses: restaurants and cafés along Marine Drive, shops on Johnston Road and in Uptown, and medical, dental and professional offices near Peace Arch Hospital. Most have small teams and no in-house IT, so technology needs to be simple, secure and well looked after.
