IT support for Metro Vancouver businesses
Fusion Computing supports day-to-day user requests, Microsoft 365, devices and on-site work across Metro Vancouver. The usual managed-service fit is 10 to 150 employees, including distributed teams and businesses with several offices.
Choose fully managed IT when you want Fusion Computing to own the agreed support and management scope. Choose co-managed IT when your internal lead needs help desk capacity, after-hours coverage or specialist escalation. Smaller businesses can ask about scoped setup or migration work.
Compare IT support options before choosing a provider
Choose who should own the work before comparing monthly totals. Fusion Computing offers fully managed and co-managed IT; an internal team is a separate staffing choice.
On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to see all three options. Keyboard users can focus the table area and use the arrow keys.
| Decision | Fusion fully managed IT | Fusion co-managed IT | Internal IT team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the work | Fusion Computing runs the agreed support and management scope. | Your internal lead keeps ownership; Fusion Computing takes the agreed responsibilities. | Your business hires and manages the team and its outside specialists. |
| Published starting price | From $180 CAD per user/month. | From $160 CAD per user/month, plus your internal team. | Salary, benefits, tools and any outside coverage depend on your staffing plan. |
| Coverage and escalation | 24/7 capability; response objectives and on-site scope are written into the proposal. | Coverage, shared queues and escalation are agreed with your internal lead. | Coverage follows your staffing, rota and escalation arrangements. |
| Records and continuity | A named account lead, documented systems and tracked support requests. | Shared documentation and ticket visibility support your existing team. | Your team maintains documentation, ticket records and cover for absences. |
| What to compare in a proposal | Users, systems, licences, security scope, on-site work and projects. | The division of responsibility, overlap, handoffs and escalation. | The skills and cover you need to resource internally or purchase separately. |
For 25 users, the published starting rates illustrate $4,500 per month ($54,000 per year) for fully managed IT or $4,000 per month ($48,000 per year) for co-managed IT, before your internal team costs. These are rate illustrations, not scoped quotes. Licences, coverage and separately priced work are confirmed in the proposal.
IT support pricing and fit in Vancouver
Fusion Computing’s fully managed IT starts at $180 CAD per user per month. Co-managed IT starts at $160 CAD per user per month and is scoped around your internal team. Team size, locations, systems and required coverage shape the written proposal.
Our usual managed-service range is 10 to 150 employees. Smaller businesses can ask about a scoped setup or migration project, or ongoing support that fits their needs. Project work is scoped separately.
A free 30-minute discovery conversation establishes your needs and whether Fusion Computing can help. We aim to reply within one business day; a scoped assessment is a separate agreed engagement.

Support shaped around Metro Vancouver operations
Metro Vancouver support has to account for Pacific-time work, bridge traffic and distributed staff. We confirm on-site locations, response objectives and maintenance windows during discovery, including downtown Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, the Tri-Cities and the North Shore.
Microsoft 365 identity and device policies help connect office and remote users. The support scope should identify the business applications, access requirements and security responsibilities that matter to your team.

What does IT support in Vancouver include?
IT support in Vancouver from Fusion covers everything your team needs to stay productive and protected. Here is what is included in every engagement:
Direct access to engineers, not a call centre, not a tier-1 script reader. Most issues are resolved on first contact (93% FCR). Your staff calls or tickets and speaks to the same team members who already know your environment, your stack, and your recurring problem patterns.
Secure remote support sessions mean most tickets close in minutes without waiting for a truck roll. Engineers access endpoints, diagnose issues, push configs, and confirm resolution in real time. Remote-first delivery is why our SLA response target is 1 hour, not 4 hours.
4-hour on-site response objective across Metro Vancouver from our 1090 W Georgia St office. Hardware failures, office moves, firewall replacements, and meeting room builds require hands-on work. Our Vancouver engineers are familiar with the Lower Mainland and are dispatched without requiring approval from a Toronto operations manager.
remote management monitors every managed endpoint and server 24/7. Patches for operating systems, browsers, and third-party software deploy on a schedule aligned to your maintenance windows. No surprise reboots during business hours. Patch compliance reports are available on demand.
Managed detection and endpoint protection run on every endpoint. MFA, email filtering (Defender for Office 365), and managed firewall DNS protection close the most common attack vectors. Security posture is aligned to CIS Controls v8.1 and documented for audit purposes if your clients or regulators ask.
Verified nightly backups with quarterly recovery tests. Backup scope covers endpoints, file servers, and Microsoft 365 mailboxes and SharePoint (which Microsoft does not protect by default). Recovery time objectives are defined in your service agreement, not estimated at the moment of a crisis.
Licensing, mailbox configuration, Teams, SharePoint, Entra ID conditional access, and Intune device management, all managed as one platform, not six separate vendor relationships. Onboarding and offboarding run on the same business day. License reconciliation happens monthly so you never pay for seats that walked out the door three months ago.
Quarterly technology reviews, 3-year budget planning, and vendor management through our Virtual CIO service. Most Vancouver SMBs do not need a full-time CIO, they need someone who shows up four times a year, knows the roadmap, and can explain a hardware refresh to a board that does not want to hear about hardware.
Your proposal identifies the support ticketing, remote management, endpoint protection, credential management and network security included. We confirm licensing and separately priced work in writing.
How Vancouver onboarding works
Most Vancouver businesses are running in 30 days. Here is the three-step process from signed agreement to steady-state support:
Discovery & Assessment
We spend two to three hours with your team documenting every device, application, vendor, and user in scope. No guesswork pricing, no post-sale surprises. The assessment produces a gap report that maps your current state to CIS Controls v8.1 so you know what is being fixed and why on day one of the engagement, before any money changes hands.
Deploy & Standardise
Steady-State & Review
Once deployed, your named account lead runs a 30-day check-in to confirm SLA performance and close any outstanding items from discovery. After that, the cadence shifts to quarterly vCIO reviews, monthly patch and security reports, and ad-hoc escalations when your environment changes. Most clients tell us they stop thinking about IT within the first billing cycle. That is the goal.
Day-to-day support for Metro Vancouver operations
Support requests can involve a Microsoft Entra ID sign-in, a Microsoft 365 application, a remote connection or office hardware. We work from your documented users and systems, then escalate work requiring physical access to the agreed on-site scope.
Maintenance windows should fit the work: a SaaS release calendar, a financial firm’s market hours or a clinic’s appointment schedule. We agree those windows with the team and record the follow-up work after each change.
Critical incidents use the agreed escalation path and 1-hour response objective. Routine requests and changes follow their priority tiers. The engagement below shows how a Metro Vancouver firm divided that work with its internal lead.
Field Note: Metro Vancouver professional-services firm with internal IT, help-desk-only engagement
Anonymized engagement profile. Identifying details changed; operational pattern preserved.
Onboarding ran two weeks. Week 1: documentation transfer (the internal lead had documented runbooks already; Fusion ingested them), introduction calls with each partner and senior associate, and the on-call rota stand-up. Week 2: ticket routing flipped from internal-only to Fusion-first, with a 4-minute median first-response on remote tickets and a 4-hour on-site response objective for the Burrard / Yaletown / Coquitlam triangle. The internal lead retained the named-account-owner relationship with Telus Business, with the firm’s SaaS vendors, and with the cyber-insurance underwriter. Fusion handled everything below that line.
The numbers eight months in: median ticket resolution time dropped from 4 hours 12 minutes (internal-only) to 22 minutes (Fusion help desk). Partner-hour interruptions related to IT dropped from a self-reported 6.4 hours per partner per week to 1.1 hours. The internal IT lead, who had been on the verge of resignation, instead became the firm’s IT director with a clean infrastructure-roadmap mandate, ran the M365 tenant migration to E5 in Q1 2026, and signed off the BC PIPA documentation refresh on time. Cyber-insurance renewal in March 2026 closed without findings. The internal IT lead is still there. The partner group has stopped raising IT in monthly meetings. That is what help-desk-only engagement looks like when it works: not a vendor replacing the internal team, but a vendor giving the internal team back its capacity to do the work only an internal lead can do.

Industries We Support in Vancouver
Business IT support designed around the compliance, workflow, and risk realities of the Vancouver industries we serve. Each profile is drawn from live Metro Vancouver client engagements.
Technology and SaaS companies
The Gastown, Yaletown, and Mount Pleasant tech cluster runs lean engineering teams where every developer hour lost to IT friction is a missed sprint. Our tech company Vancouver clients get managed endpoints with standardised golden images so new engineers are productive within hours, not days. We manage GitHub, Slack, Atlassian, and Google Workspace alongside Microsoft 365, and we scope network segmentation to isolate production environments from general office traffic.
Financial services and BCSC-regulated firms
Legal firms
Solicitor-client privilege does not survive a ransomware leak. Our law firm Vancouver clients get privilege-first design: matter-based access in Clio or PCLaw, legal-hold compliant email retention in Microsoft 365, and encrypted client portals that replace email attachments. Every endpoint runs managed detection and response plus endpoint protection so an overnight cryptolocker has nowhere to stage.
Healthcare clinics and medical practices
BC PIPA, PIPEDA, and the OIPC of BC breach-notification rules do not forgive a weak backup story. Our medical clinic Vancouver clients get PHI-isolated networks, encrypted off-site backups verified weekly, and audit-ready access logs across Accuro EMR, OSCAR, and TELUS PS Suite. We document the full safeguard checklist and hand it to your privacy officer on day one.
Import, export, and logistics operators
The Port of Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport anchor a logistics and customs-brokerage sector with CBSA Trusted Trader, FAST Programme, and C-TPAT cross-border requirements layered on top of standard IT needs. Our import export Vancouver clients run EDI integrations, customs-brokerage software (e-Manifest, Customs Connect, Descartes), and cross-border documentation workflows that demand documented continuity and escalation requirements.
Accounting and bookkeeping firms
Tax season is not the time to learn that your CaseWare or QuickBooks Online session died at 11pm. We run after-hours patch windows around CPA Canada busy-season calendars so our accounting firm Vancouver clients never file late because of a Windows update. Typical stack we support: CaseWare Working Papers, QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Xero, Sage 50, TaxCycle, and Microsoft 365 with scoped retention for 7-year CRA records.
Professional services and consultancies
Client-billable hours collapse fast when laptops freeze or VPNs drop mid-call. Our professional services Vancouver clients get a standardised remote management-managed endpoint image, Microsoft 365 with conditional access, and a Teams phone deployment that works from home, office, and client site without a handoff glitch. We own the full lifecycle from new-hire provisioning to offboarding within the same business day.
One Vancouver consulting firm we support cut onboarding time from 3 days to 4 hours by standardising on our golden-image deployment plus credential management SSO. Utilisation uplift paid for the engagement in quarter one.
