IT services for Ottawa businesses
Ottawa organizations frequently work with formal procurement, security, and documentation expectations. We help smaller teams understand what they operate, who can access it, and how essential services recover. We are based in Burnaby, BC, in Metro Vancouver. We do not have an office in Ottawa, and routine delivery is remote.

Local operating context
A procurement culture makes vague technology ownership expensive
Federal suppliers, Kanata technology firms, defence-adjacent organizations, and downtown professional teams may be asked detailed questions about controls and providers. Useful preparation begins with accurate evidence and a remediation plan, not a template that claims more than the environment can prove.
Ottawa buyers — government and private alike — do their homework: procurement culture runs deep here, and a thin website reads as a thin company.
Local operating conditions range across downtown and the ByWard Market, Kanata North — Canada's largest technology park, Westboro, and the east-end business parks, while the business mix includes the federal government and its supplier ecosystem, telecom and software in Kanata North, defence and security, and tourism. Those facts do not prescribe a product; they help frame who works where, which systems are shared, and what an interruption would affect.
Where to focus first
Technology priorities for Ottawa organizations
The right starting point depends on which workflow, obligation, or customer promise is at risk. These priorities help frame the first conversation without assuming a predetermined product bundle.
Close evidence gaps methodically
Assess identity, endpoints, patching, backup, logging, and incidents, then prioritize controls according to actual obligations and risk.
Recovery for contractual commitments
Define which services and records must be available to meet customer, project, or public-facing obligations.
How remote delivery works
Working with us from Ottawa
Metro Vancouver IT is based in Burnaby. Routine work is remote across Canada — phone, secure screen share, and written tickets. On-site visits are limited to Metro Vancouver and only when hands-on work is actually required. We do not promise same-day dispatch outside that area, and we do not advertise a walk-in office.
Where we work from
We are based in Burnaby, BC, in Metro Vancouver. We do not have an office in Ottawa, and routine delivery is remote. We use phone, secure support tools, video, and shared project systems.
Hours on the Ottawa clock
Our standard support window translates to 12:00 noon–9:00 p.m. ET — we cover your afternoon and stay reachable well into the evening. Agreed response targets depend on the service and are written into the scope.
Physical support boundary
We do not promise local or same-day on-site dispatch in Ottawa. If physical work is necessary, travel or a suitable local resource is scoped and approved before anyone attends.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you certify an Ottawa supplier for government security requirements?
No. We can implement and document technical controls within our competence, but certification, legal interpretation, and formal audits belong to the relevant accredited or legal professionals. We keep that boundary explicit.
Do you have an office in Ottawa?
No. Metro Vancouver IT is based in Burnaby, BC, and serves Ottawa remotely. Calls, secure support, reviews, and project work happen online; any physical work is discussed and scoped explicitly before an engagement begins.
