Help Desk & End-User Support · New Westminster, BC
The help desk is the part of IT your staff actually interact with. Password resets, printer problems, Outlook quirks, Wi-Fi drops, Teams audio, new-hire laptops, Douglas College co-op intake batches, and a hundred other small things that decide whether your team has a good day or a frustrating one. Hexafusion runs the help desk for New Westminster businesses with a 15-minute initial response, named engineers, and a documented escalation path when an issue gets hard.

Day-to-day issues that decide whether your team is productive or fighting their tools. Each category below is standard scope on every managed plan.
Locked out of Microsoft 365, forgot the MFA app on a new phone, lost a hardware key, or a Douglas College co-op hire needs to be enrolled. Handled in minutes by a named engineer with the right access already documented.
Print queues stuck, scanner not finding the network share, conference-room camera dropping, Anvil Centre meeting-room AV not pairing. The small things that derail a meeting. Resolved remotely first; on-site when remote is not enough.
Mailbox issues, calendar sharing, mail-flow problems, distribution lists, Teams audio and video, SharePoint permissions, OneDrive sync. The day-to-day Microsoft 365 support most users actually need.
Wi-Fi drops at the desk in a Columbia Street heritage office, VPN refusing to connect from home, Sapperton clinic struggling on the Royal Columbian-adjacent corridor. We test, isolate, and either fix or escalate to the right vendor on your behalf.
HR sends one form. New hires and Douglas College co-op students get a pre-imaged laptop, accounts created, security baseline applied, and a documented first-day experience. Co-op term ends trigger documented offboarding with audit log entries.
Laptop battery dying, mouse dead, keyboard stuck, monitor flickering. Replacement hardware shipped or hand-delivered for clients in the Downtown New West, Uptown, and Brewery District cores. Old device collected and securely wiped.
Different New West industries lean on the help desk for different things. The ticket mix at a Sapperton specialty clinic is not the ticket mix at a Queensborough film studio or an Uptown accounting firm running Douglas College co-op cycles. The named engineer learns yours.
EMR login issues, imaging-system glitches, secure-fax problems, and chart-printer queues for clinics in the Royal Columbian Hospital corridor in Sapperton.
Document-management system support, e-signature platform issues, and matter-folder access for accounting and legal firms in Uptown, along Columbia Street, and around Douglas College.
Guest-network onboarding for visiting crews, dailies-pipeline access issues, and high-bandwidth file transfer support for Queensborough studio tenants on active productions.
Shift-worker logins, shop-floor printer queues, handheld-scanner issues, and ruggedised-laptop swaps for facilities in Queensborough and around the Annacis access routes.
POS terminal lockouts, payment-platform disconnects, label-printer issues, and after-hours coverage for Columbia Street and Quayside / River Market tenants.
Shared-mailbox hygiene, secure-document handling, and software-licence questions for provincial-office tenants and provincially regulated organisations in BC's original capital.
Every New Westminster business we onboard receives a documented security baseline aligned to the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security baseline controls and the requirements your cyber insurance carrier is asking about on renewal questionnaires. The help desk inherits and enforces that baseline on every ticket.
Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for New Westminster businesses, with access to authorized Canadian distribution channels for Lenovo, Apple, Microsoft Surface, and networking gear from Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, SonicWall, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Juniper. The help desk handles every hardware swap, every replacement, and every new-hire and co-op laptop. Devices arrive pre-imaged with the security baseline, enrolled in Microsoft Autopilot, and ready to power on.
At end-of-life we handle decommissioning with the same care as deployment. Drive sanitisation follows NIST Special Publication 800-88 guidelines (cryptographic erasure for SSDs, multi-pass wipe for spinning drives), every retired device generates a serial-numbered certificate of destruction for your PIPEDA breach-notification record-keeping, and devices beyond economic refurbishment are recycled through programs accredited by the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA Canada).
Hexafusion is led by founder Alex Barari, a former PCI DSS Internal Security Assessor with 15+ years in enterprise IT and cybersecurity. Help-desk tickets in New Westminster are handled by a Vancouver-based team. There is no offshore tier-one queue. Your staff get a person with context, not a script. Tickets are routed to the named primary engineer first, and to a documented secondary when the primary is out. For Uptown firms running Douglas College co-op intake, that continuity matters.
Our quarterly business review (QBR) is a real strategic report, not a generic newsletter: engagement health score, financial recap, onboarding progress, renewal calendar, and an AI-summarised executive paragraph delivered as a PDF to every client at the end of every calendar quarter. See the QBR page for a worked example.

Tell us how many staff you have, where they sit, and what is making the day frustrating. We respond within one business day with a custom flat-rate quote and a sample week of ticket data.
15-minute initial response applies to all plans during contracted coverage hours. Same-day resolution applies to Professional and Enterprise help-desk tickets within standard scope. Vendor escalations, hardware RMAs, carrier outages, and other third-party dependencies can extend resolution. Emergency on-site windows are targets, not guarantees, and depend on traffic, weather, and bridge conditions.
