About AlphaIT
An Edmonton IT Company Built by a Network Engineer
AlphaIT started in Edmonton in October 2019 with a simple idea: small businesses deserve IT that’s designed properly, documented and supported by someone who’s accountable for it. Today we look after IT, networks, security and cloud for local businesses, and their websites and search marketing too.

Our story
Why I Started AlphaIT
I’ve always been the person who wants to know how things connect. That curiosity took me through a four-year engineering degree in computer science, and then to the University of Alberta for a Master’s in Internetworking, where I went deep on how networks, routing, switching and security really work.
Since 2016 I’ve been doing that work hands-on: building networks, installing servers, securing systems and fixing the problems that stop businesses from working. Again and again I saw small businesses with IT that had been set up quickly and never documented, with nobody really responsible for it.
In October 2019 I started AlphaIT to do it differently: design things properly the first time, write everything down, and stay accountable after the job is done. Because so many of our clients also needed help with their websites and Google visibility, we added web design and SEO, built on the same technical foundation.

How we work
What You Can Expect From AlphaIT
The principles behind every project and every support call.
Design it properly
We plan before we install, so networks, servers and security fit together and don't need redoing a year later.
Write it down
Every environment we manage is documented, so you're never dependent on one person's memory.
Security by default
MFA, patching, backups and monitoring are part of the job, not optional extras.
Plain-English advice
We explain options and trade-offs honestly, including when you don't need to spend money.
One accountable partner
IT, network, cloud, website: one team owns it, so nothing falls between vendors.
Local and reachable
We're in Edmonton, and we show up on-site when a problem needs hands, not just a ticket.
