Our Services

Our managed IT services provide your business with complete peace of mind as our team of professionals take care of managing, monitoring, maintaining, and maximizing your IT assets for you. We know that while much of I.T. can be handled remotely, you simply can't remove the in-person elements completely. That's why, while our main office is located in Chilliwack, we have technicians located throughout the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island so that we can better serve you and your business interests.

Managing

Our support team continuously maintains your hardware and software with recent patches and updates and remains available to remotely support your team. Whether it’s a staffing change, ‘how-to’ question, or troublesome error message, we’ll be here ready to assist you.

Monitoring

We monitor your IT assets in real time with strategic alerts that help our team ensure your IT investments are stable and available for use by your business. A fire department without smoke alarms can only reply once they see smoke in the distance; our advanced monitors help us catch those fires before they have even begun.

Maintaining

It's a major challenge to stay on top of everything going on in a network. Protocols change, updates are required, and new concerns need to be addressed as they arise. It’s a major time sink. Instead of struggling through it yourself, we manage and adjust your IT assets proactively to ensure optimal performance and security, providing you and your business with complete peace of mind.

Image

Maximizing

We help you get the most out of your IT assets by making sure they are always running optimally and according to the best standards of the industry. This performance tuning can help your business squeeze that little bit extra out of what it already has and take advantage of new technologies as they become available.

Could Automations Save You from Spreadsheet Headaches?

Could automation save you from spreadsheet headaches?

Spreadsheets have been a go-to business tool for decades now. They’re familiar and easy to use (and if we’re being honest, we can all feel like a bit of a genius when we get that one formula to work, right?).

The problem is, 90% of businesses are still relying on outdated spreadsheets to manage important data, even though they’re slowing things down and increasing the risk of errors.

Think about it: How often do you get stuck manually entering data, fixing mistakes, or trying to figure out if you’re looking at the latest version of that important spreadsheet? It’s so frustrating – and you’re not alone.

Research shows that although 82% of businesses have automation on their roadmap, only 43% plan to implement it in the next year. This means that many businesses are still dealing with the same spreadsheet-related headaches, when they could be working much more efficiently.

So, how could automation help your business?

Instead of spending hours plugging in numbers and double-checking calculations, automation tools can handle data collection, processing, and reporting for you. That means fewer mistakes, less time wasted, and real-time updates that keep everything running smoothly.

Automation tools also come with built-in security features, so you don’t have to worry about who has access to what.

Despite all these benefits, a lot of businesses are hesitant to make the switch. Spreadsheets feel safe and familiar, and change can be intimidating. But sticking with outdated tools is holding you back.

The good news is you don’t have to overhaul everything overnight. Start small. Look at the areas where automation could save you the most time and hassle, like payment tracking, customer data, or reporting.

Once you see how much easier things get, you’ll wonder why you didn’t switch sooner.

If you’re ready to see how automating some of your business processes could improve productivity, we can help. Get in touch.
