What Strategic IT Services Includes in Vancouver

Strategic IT is the layer above the helpdesk. It is what decides whether technology supports growth or quietly limits it. Each service below is delivered by named people on a documented cadence, not on request, and every Vancouver engagement ties back to the same QBR document leadership signs off on.

Technology Roadmap and Capital Budget

A written 12 to 36 month plan covering hardware lifecycle, software renewals, security investments, cloud migrations, and headcount-driven capacity. Refreshed quarterly and re-baselined to your fiscal year so finance can budget with confidence.

vCIO Advisory at the Leadership Table

A virtual Chief Information Officer who attends your strategic planning, translates business goals into technology decisions, and presents to boards or investors when needed. Included on Professional and Enterprise plans, no add-on fee.

Fixed-Price Project Delivery

Downtown office buildouts, server-room moves, Microsoft 365 migrations, ERP rollouts, AV refresh, and Wi-Fi redesigns. Scoped up front, fixed-price, with a named project manager and a weekly status report you can forward to leadership.

Vendor and Contract Management

We hold the relationships with your ISP, telecom, line-of-business software vendors, and hardware distribution. One throat to choke when things break, and one team negotiating renewals on your behalf at QBR cadence.

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 on-site support are all included on the same flat-rate plan, not a separate contract you discover at renewal.

Industries We Plan With in Vancouver

Vancouver's industry mix is unusually varied for a single city. Strategic IT planning looks very different for a Yaletown SaaS company than for a Coal Harbour mining HQ or a Hollywood North production office, and that is reflected in the roadmap we build for you.

Technology, Gaming, and SaaS

Yaletown and Mount Pleasant gaming studios, ecommerce platforms, and SaaS vendors need IT that scales with engineering headcount and satisfies enterprise-customer security questionnaires inside a single fiscal year.

Film and Media (Hollywood North)

Production offices and post-production houses run short-lived projects with long-lived data. Roadmaps cover asset-management refresh, MPA-aware content security, and capacity that scales up for a project then back down.

Finance and Mining HQs

Coal Harbour mining headquarters, asset managers, and family offices need a documented control environment, board-ready reporting, and a refresh budget defendable to a CFO.

Healthcare and Clinics

EMR roadmaps and multi-site clinic standardisation for practices in the VGH corridor, the St. Paul's catchment, and the South Granville and Kitsilano clusters, with BC PIPA-aware planning.

Professional Services and Hospitality

Accounting, legal, and consulting firms in Downtown and Gastown, plus restaurants and hospitality groups handling seasonal cruise and tourism IT spikes from May through September.

Education and Co-working

Training providers, non-profits, and member-organisation offices near UBC Robson Square, BCIT Downtown, and the WeWork and Spaces footprints throughout the Downtown peninsula.

Compliance-Ready IT Baseline for Vancouver Businesses

Every Vancouver 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.
  • Disk encryption. BitLocker on Windows and FileVault on Mac, key-escrowed centrally so a lost device 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 Vancouver

Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for Vancouver 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. Procurement is part of the roadmap, not a one-off sales transaction. Every laptop, server, 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 Vancouver

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. The same team that builds your Vancouver roadmap reviews the alerts at 2 a.m. and shows up on-site when a project crosses the line from remote to hands-on. Our downtown office at 250 to 997 Seymour Street means a Vancouver site visit is a short walk or SkyTrain ride away, not a cross-bridge commitment.

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 Vancouver 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.
  • Budget-friendly cadence. Quarterly roadmap refresh and annual re-baseline lines up with how Vancouver finance teams actually plan.
  • 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.
  • HQ on Seymour Street. Walking distance from Granville and Stadium SkyTrain. Site visits in the downtown core happen the same day.
