Industries

IT built for
how your sector works.

Education, retail, agriculture, forestry, mining, oilfield services, legal, manufacturing, construction, non-profit, and professional services. Each has its own compliance requirements, software quirks, and uptime expectations. We know the wire in most of them.

New additions

Northern BC and Alberta strongholds.

Agriculture, forestry, mining, and oilfield services are the economic backbone of the regions North Star serves from Prince George. These industries need IT providers who understand remote sites, ruggedised hardware, and connectivity that works 100 km from the nearest town.

Sector

IT for farms, ranches, and agribusiness.

Rural connectivity via Starlink, farm management software support, remote monitoring for grain storage and irrigation, and the IT controls that regulated agricultural operations need documented.

Sector

IT for forestry, mills, and logging operations.

Remote site connectivity, FortiClient VPN, GIS platform support, ruggedised field devices, and FSC/SFI documentation systems. We operate out of Prince George, in the middle of BC's interior forestry economy.

Sector

IT for law firms that take privilege seriously.

Sector

IT that respects the shop floor.

Manufacturing IT is different. Downtime costs money you can measure. OT/IT segmentation matters. ERP integrations break in inventive ways. We bring office IT discipline and we know not to push patches during a production run.

Sector

IT for crews in the field.

General contractors, sub-trades, and engineering firms. Field connectivity, Procore, Bluebeam, and mobile device management. A stack that works from the trailer as well as it works from head office.

Sector

IT for non-profits that need every dollar.

Non-profits and charities have the same security obligations as for-profits with less budget and more volunteers. TechSoup pricing, M365 non-profit licensing, and discount-stacked wherever possible.

Sector

IT for firms where billable hours matter.

Accounting, consulting, engineering, and architecture firms. Document management, time-tracking integrations, client confidentiality, and the uptime that protects billable hours.
