What Strategic IT Services Includes in Maple Ridge
Strategic IT is the layer above the helpdesk. For Maple Ridge it is also the layer that decides whether a 60-minute drive from Vancouver is a problem or a planned and budgeted activity. Each service below is delivered by named people on a documented cadence, not on request.
Technology Roadmap and Budget
A written 12 to 36 month plan covering hardware lifecycle, software renewals, security investments, connectivity upgrades for rural east Maple Ridge sites, and headcount-driven capacity. Refreshed quarterly so finance can budget with confidence.
vCIO Advisory
A virtual Chief Information Officer at the leadership table. We attend your strategic planning, translate growth plans into technology decisions, and present to lenders or investors when needed. Included on Professional and Enterprise plans.
Field-Staff and Mobile Project Delivery
Mobile device management rollouts for tradesperson tablets and phones, dispatch and field-service software deployments, vehicle-mount and ruggedised hardware procurement, and Wi-Fi for shop yards and equipment compounds. Scoped up front, fixed-price, with weekly status.
Vendor and Contract Management
We hold the relationships with your ISP (Telus, Shaw, fixed wireless in rural east Maple Ridge), telecom, line-of-business software vendors, and hardware distribution. One throat to choke when things break, and one team negotiating renewals on your behalf.
Quarterly Business Reviews
Real strategic reports: engagement health score, financial recap, project status, renewal calendar, and an AI-summarised executive paragraph delivered as a PDF every quarter. See the QBR page for a worked example.
Operational Baseline Included
Strategic IT does not work without solid operations underneath it. Helpdesk, 24/7 monitoring, EDR, managed backup, and scheduled on-site support are all included on the same flat-rate plan, not a separate contract.
Industries We Plan With in Maple Ridge
Maple Ridge is heavily trades-driven and increasingly varied. Strategic IT planning looks very different for an Albion industrial manufacturer than it does for a Haney Place Mall retailer, and that is reflected in the roadmap we build for you.
Construction and Trades
Framing, electrical, mechanical, paving, excavation, and equipment rental firms across Maple Ridge need mobile device management, ruggedised tablets, field-service software, and a ticketing path that works for a foreman with muddy hands.
Manufacturing and Industrial
Maple Ridge Industrial Park and the Albion industrial area host manufacturers and distributors with ERP roadmaps, OT segmentation needs, and shop-floor refresh cycles that need capital planning.
Healthcare and Clinics
Clinics in the Ridge Meadows Hospital corridor need EMR roadmaps, multi-site standardisation, and BC PIPA-aware planning for personal health information.
Film and TV Production
Productions shooting in Memorial Peace Park, historic Hammond, or rural Whonnock need short-term project IT: location Wi-Fi, set-network security, and a tear-down plan that protects footage.
Retail and Hospitality
Tenants at Haney Place Mall and along Dewdney Trunk Road need POS lifecycle planning, payment-platform changes, and multi-site rollouts done outside trading hours.
Professional Services and Agriculture
Accounting, legal, and insurance firms in Town Centre, plus agricultural and agri-business operators in rural east Maple Ridge with connectivity and field-data planning needs.
Compliance-Ready IT Baseline for Maple Ridge Businesses
Every Maple Ridge 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. This is the same baseline we apply to our own infrastructure, not a stripped-down small-business version.
Identity and access. Microsoft Entra ID with Conditional Access policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement on every account, and compliant-device sign-in checks.
Endpoint protection. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) on every Windows, Mac, and mobile device, deployed and active before the user receives the laptop or tablet.
Disk encryption. BitLocker on Windows and FileVault on Mac, key-escrowed centrally so a lost tablet at a job site does not become a data breach.
Email hardening. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment plus anti-phishing and impersonation-protection rules tuned to your industry.
Backup and recovery. Managed backups with documented retention and quarterly restore tests so you know recovery actually works before an incident.
BC PIPA and PIPEDA aware. Audit logging, role-based access, and breach-notification process documentation kept up to date with the current Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada guidance.
Hardware Procurement and Lifecycle Planning in Maple Ridge
Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for Maple Ridge businesses, with access to authorized Canadian distribution channels for Lenovo, Apple, Microsoft Surface, ruggedised tablets (Panasonic Toughbook, Samsung Tab Active), and networking gear from Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, SonicWall, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Juniper. Procurement is part of the roadmap, not a one-off sales transaction. Every device, vehicle-mount kit, and switch is on a documented lifecycle so the next refresh is budgeted before it is urgent.
At end-of-life we handle decommissioning with the same discipline as deployment. Drive sanitisation follows NIST Special Publication 800-88 guidelines, 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).
Who you actually work with in Maple Ridge
Hexafusion is led by founder Alex Barari, a former PCI DSS Internal Security Assessor with 15+ years in enterprise IT and cybersecurity. Strategic engagements are led personally, not delegated to a junior account manager reading a deck written somewhere else. Because Maple Ridge is at the far reach of our standard service area, the engagement is built around named people, scheduled cadence, and an explicit understanding of when remote is enough and when an on-site day is needed.
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.
Why Maple Ridge businesses choose Hexafusion for IT services
Strategy with operations. A roadmap is worthless if the helpdesk is broken. Both come on one flat-rate plan.
Named vCIO. Leadership knows who is accountable for the technology agenda, not just who is on call.
Planned on-site cadence. Maple Ridge clients get scheduled on-site days that batch project work, QBRs, and hands-on touchpoints into productive visits.
Project discipline. Fixed-price scopes, weekly status, and post-mortems on every project. No mystery invoices.
Vendor consolidation. We hold the contracts with ISP, telco, software, and hardware so leadership stops being a switchboard.
Outcome reporting. Every QBR ties IT spend back to business outcomes leadership cares about.

In-person at your Maple Ridge office or remote, leadership-level, with a PDF report delivered ahead of the meeting.
Initial ticket response
Within 15 minutes
Operational baseline still applies. Every ticket is acknowledged by a real engineer within 15 minutes during contracted coverage hours.
Roadmap refresh and QBR cadence apply to Professional and Enterprise plans. Project scoping windows are targets and depend on response speed from your team and any third-party vendors involved. On-site visits for Maple Ridge are scheduled in advance to consolidate the 50 to 70 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. Fixed-price project scopes are built on documented assumptions; out-of-scope work is quoted separately before it is executed.
