IT for a community of local businesses
Maple Ridge stretches from the Pitt River to Stave Lake, and its business community reflects that range. Downtown Haney, around 224 Street and Lougheed Highway, has professional offices, clinics, restaurants and shops. Albion and Hammond have industrial and commercial areas with contractors, suppliers and light manufacturing, and Maple Meadows Business Park sits near the Pitt Meadows border. Silver Valley and the rural east, out through Thornhill, Websters Corners, Whonnock and Ruskin, are home to many owner-run and home-based businesses, from trades to consultants.
Since the Golden Ears Bridge opened, Maple Ridge has been closely tied to Langley and the rest of the Fraser Valley, as well as to the Tri-Cities to the west. We support businesses across that whole area with managed IT support and on-site help when it’s needed.
Reliable internet for rural properties
In east Maple Ridge, internet options can be limited, and an outage can stop a business completely: no email, no online orders, no card payments, no cloud files. We help in three ways:
- Choosing the right connection. We compare what’s available at your address, including cable, fibre, fixed wireless and satellite, and recommend the best fit for your needs and budget.
- Adding a backup connection. A second connection, often a cellular or fixed-wireless line, takes over automatically if the main one goes down.
- Fixing what’s inside the building. Sometimes the real problem is an old router or poorly placed Wi-Fi. Our network management service sorts that out.
Trades, contractors and suppliers
Contractors and suppliers in Albion and Hammond run their businesses from phones, laptops and job management software. We manage those devices so they’re secured and can be wiped if lost, give every person their own account with multi-factor authentication, and back up the office systems that hold quotes, jobs and invoices. We also help protect against invoice fraud, which targets businesses that pay suppliers by bank transfer. See our cybersecurity services.
Clinics and professional offices
Downtown clinics, accountants, lawyers and advisors handle personal information that BC’s privacy law requires them to protect. We provide secure email, encrypted devices, monitored computers and tested backups, and we explain clearly what each safeguard does and why it matters.
Home-based businesses
A home office still needs proper IT: a separate business network, a backup that runs on its own, email on your own domain and someone dependable to call. We keep the setup simple and the price matched to the size of your business.
