Straight Answers Without the Sales Pitch

Vendor-neutral advice on what to buy, move, and fix.

Ask about hardware, software, networking, or the cloud. We recommend what fits your needs and budget, then help set it up, billed by the half hour with no contract.

Questions clients ask us, with our short answers
  • Which laptops should we buy for the front desk?

    We compare a few options and recommend what fits the work and the budget.

  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

    Either can work. We weigh your files, apps, and team, then plan the move.

  • Is our backup actually working?

    We test a restore, then add an offline or immutable copy.

  • Do we have to sign a contract?

    No. Book one session, or call us when you need us.

  • Why does my PC crash every afternoon?

    We trace it to the cause, whether a driver, a profile, or the disk, and fix that.

  • Our passwords live in a spreadsheet.

    We move them into a password manager and turn on multi-factor sign-in.

  • Can you help without coming out?

    Yes. Encrypted remote sessions work anywhere in Canada.

  • Do we need our own server?

    Maybe not. We look at what you run and suggest the simplest fit.

IT Consulting FAQs

Can you help remotely, or only on-site?

Both. Encrypted remote sessions cover troubleshooting anywhere in Canada, and our Kamloops technicians make on-site visits across the Thompson-Okanagan.

Do I need a contract or retainer?

No. IT consulting is billed hourly with no contract lock-in, so you can book a single session or ongoing support as you need it.

Where do you offer on-site IT and repair services?

We work on-site in Kamloops and across the Thompson-Okanagan. Visits within Kamloops have no travel charge; travel beyond the city is billed per kilometre, as shown on our service area map.

How does your hourly billing work?

Each hourly service has its own rate, shown on its page: IT Consulting, Ubiquiti Professional Services, and Custom PC & Server Services. Work is billed in 30-minute increments, and every invoice lists the time spent and what we did. Managed AI, Storage & Backup, and DNS & Content Delivery services are scoped and quoted per engagement.
