IT support & managed IT services in North Vancouver
North Shore companies need IT that keeps going when bridge traffic stalls or a storm knocks out power. We manage Microsoft 365, laptops, security and backups for professional offices, clinics, marine businesses and production companies across the City and District of North Vancouver. Most support happens remotely, which keeps bridge traffic out of the equation, and on-site visits are booked for network installs, hardware and office changes.

What shapes IT here
Getting across Burrard Inlet means the Lions Gate Bridge, the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing or the SeaBus, so a slowdown on either bridge changes when staff, deliveries and technicians arrive. Windstorms regularly bring trees down on power lines, and neighbourhoods higher up the slope can get snow when the waterfront only sees rain. Film and marine work happens away from the office too, on sets, docks and job sites, so staff need secure access from wherever they are. Offices range from new Lower Lonsdale buildings to older low-rise blocks where wiring may be dated.

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.
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.

FAQ
Managed IT Services in North Vancouver: questions
Do you work with businesses in both the City and the District of North Vancouver?
Yes. The municipal boundary makes no difference to how we support you, whether you're in Lower Lonsdale, on Marine Drive, in Lynn Valley or out in Deep Cove. Most requests are handled remotely, and on-site visits are booked ahead for installs, hardware and network work. We also support businesses in West Vancouver.
How can a North Vancouver office keep working through a windstorm power outage?
Nothing keeps an office fully running without power, but planning limits the disruption. A battery backup, or UPS, keeps the modem, firewall and Wi-Fi running through brief outages and lets equipment shut down safely during longer ones. Cloud-hosted email and files stay reachable from home or a phone, and a cellular backup connection covers internet failures when the power stays on.
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.
