Consulting/Professional Services
Special Projects
Occasionally, a small business runs into a project that requires specialized IT support such as:
- Moving offices
- Hiring a new employee
- Letting someone go
Although these may seem like simple endeavours, they can cause major headaches in terms of IT security problems and downtime.
Example - The Big Move
You could spend hours coordinating the move of your internet service, including the cutoff at the old location, which could interrupt your e-mail delivery. You might have specific power needs for your workstations or server room, air conditioning might be required, fire suppression, etc.
We can manage this entire process for you, coordinating with all required contractors, so all you have to do is show up at the new office, ready to get back to work!
Example - Hiring and Firing
The same goes for hiring or firing staff - this can be a very emotional or stressful time - only to be made worse if there's a concern of data security. Let us manage your user accounts for you, ensuring access to your data is available only to those users you specify, and only specifically when you require it.
Backup & Recovery
Are you worried about the reliability of your backups? Or, are you worried because you don't even have a backup? We've partnered with vendors such as Symantec to provide you with best-of-breed backup solutions, ensuring that your mission critical data is always available when you need it. Furthermore, we test your systems regularly to ensure that your backup is properly functioning, and that recovery from that backup is working as planned. A good backup and disaster recovery plan is more than just a good idea - it's a requirement.
If you have more complicated backup requirements, such as multiple locations, a variety of server platforms, or a need for "hands-off" worry free backup, we can provide solutions utilizing our connectivity partners to provide extra flexibility in your backup options. Everything from replicating one office to another, to managing your entire backup offsite for you - let us show you what true peace of mind feels like.
Connectivity Solutions
Are you tired of dealing with Telus, Shaw, or Primus internet connections? Frustrated with sitting on hold for half an hour, only to discover the person on the other end of the line doesn't know anything anyway?
We've Partnered for Reliability
So are we. That's why we've partnered with an emerging local ISP, in order to provide extremely reliable, extremely fast internet connections to our clients. In addition, we can provide custom solutions, such as private networks, secure lines, redundant connections, and even unlimited traffic to our data centre, so you can co-locate your network equipment without worrying about traffic limits or slow access.
As every situation is different, please contact our sales team so we can provide you with a custom solution quote for our connectivity services.
Assessments/Compliance
Do you have industry requirements that are difficult to meet? Such as specific security or IT compliance levels? Or, do you simply want a security assessment of your current network, to get an idea of any potential problems or vulnerabilities? Either way, Sea to Sky can include these services as part of your managed services package - monthly assessments are available, and we can assure you meet the rigorous standards required by different industry associations. Our experience means you won't be caught out in the cold.

The Hybrid Cloud; Things to Consider Before Deployment

"We needed a more effective computer network system - Sea to Sky were integral in helping us achieve a solution, right from the start they have been able to troubleshoot in an efficient, courteous and professional manner. They generated the results we were looking for!"
"Sea To Sky has provided IT support for our office for over 5 years. From keeping track of our domains for us and managing our Exchange server to dealing with new equipment acquisitions, setup and maintenance, the Sea To Sky team is always quick to respond, friendly and efficient – often reminding us of important updates and domain name expiries. Highly recommended."
"The Liberal Party of Canada in BC is a small organization with large IT needs. With both full-time and rotating staff, we have security concerns as well as reliability and uptime issues. Sea to Sky started working with us in August 2009, at which point they replaced a majority of our infrastructure, and restructured our IT policies and procedures to streamline our systems. Their attention to detail and our budgetary constraints has been excellent, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
