Greater Vancouver · Fraser Valley
Managed IT services & IT support for growing businesses
An outsourced IT department for small and medium businesses: a help desk your staff can actually reach, devices and Microsoft 365 managed properly, security and backups handled — and someone planning ahead instead of only fixing what broke.

Managed IT services replace the "call someone when it breaks" approach with ongoing responsibility for your technology. Instead of paying for emergencies, you get a team that keeps laptops patched, accounts secured, backups tested and small problems from turning into outages — plus a help desk for the everyday questions that eat into your staff's day.
For most small and medium businesses in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, that means Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace configured the right way, company laptops managed wherever people work, multi-factor authentication on every account and a documented record of how everything is set up. The difference shows up as fewer interruptions, faster onboarding for new hires and far less risk when someone clicks the wrong link.
We support most requests remotely, because that's fastest, and come on site for network work, hardware, moves and anything that needs hands on equipment. Admin accounts, licences and documentation stay in your company's name, so you're never locked in. If you're weighing the options, our guides compare managed IT and break-fix support and explain what managed IT services cost.

Process
How it works
- 01
Consultation
A conversation about your team, systems and pain points, and what you want technology to do for the business.
- 02
Assessment & onboarding
We document every device, account and licence, secure admin access and fix the urgent risks first.
- 03
Day-to-day support
Help desk, monitoring, patching and backups run in the background while your team gets on with work.
- 04
Regular planning
Periodic reviews of what's working, upcoming renewals and replacements, and a budget you can plan around.
Pricing
How pricing works
Managed IT agreements are typically priced per user or per device each month, based on the services included. After an assessment, we put the scope and monthly price in writing, including what counts as a separate project.
Software licences such as Microsoft 365 and any hardware are listed separately from the support fee, so you can see exactly what each costs. Our guide to managed IT services costs explains the common pricing models.
- Number of users and devices
- Servers, sites and network equipment to manage
- Security and backup tools included
- Compliance or industry requirements
- How much on-site support you need

Greater Vancouver
Remote-first, on site when it counts
Most day-to-day requests across Greater Vancouver are solved remotely, often while you're still on the call. For network work, hardware, moves and anything that needs hands on equipment, on-site visits are scheduled by area, so help arrives without losing half a day to bridges and traffic.
Fraser Valley
Planned around Fraser Valley distances
Across Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission, remote support handles the everyday requests and on-site visits are planned by route. Support plans also account for valley realities: backup internet for rural and agricultural properties, battery backup for winter outages and off-site backups that survive a flood.

FAQ
Managed IT Services questions
What's included in managed IT services?
Typically a help desk for staff, device management and patching, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration, security tools, backups, vendor coordination and regular planning. Projects such as office moves, server replacements or migrations are usually scoped separately. Every agreement we write lists exactly what's covered.
How is managed IT different from calling someone when something breaks?
Break-fix support is paid by the hour when there's a problem, so nobody is responsible for preventing the next one. Managed IT covers ongoing maintenance, security and support for a monthly fee, which makes costs predictable and rewards fewer problems. Our managed IT vs. break-fix guide covers when each makes sense.
Can you work alongside our in-house IT person?
Yes. Many growing companies have one internal IT person who is stretched thin. We can take on the help desk, security tooling, after-hours projects or strategic planning, while they stay focused on the work only an insider can do.
Can you take over from our current IT provider?
Yes. We plan the handover so nothing is lost: admin credentials, licences, documentation, backups and vendor contacts are transferred and verified, and any gaps are fixed during onboarding. Everything is set up in your company's name so you keep control.
Do you provide IT support outside Vancouver?
Yes. We support businesses across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley — from the North Shore and Richmond to Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack. Most requests are handled remotely, with on-site visits scheduled when hands-on work is needed.
What size of business do you work with?
Small and medium businesses — from a handful of staff to growing, multi-location teams. The common thread is a business that relies on technology every day but doesn't want to build a full internal IT department.
