North Star brings virtual CIO leadership and managed IT services to Edmonton, planning your technology roadmap then delivering the VoIP, cloud, and cybersecurity to execute it. From the downtown core to the outer metro, we handle IT so you can focus on growing your business.
Edmonton stands out as the capital of Alberta, home to a large and diverse economy spanning government, post-secondary institutions, energy sector head offices, and a thriving SMB community.

Virtual CIO services for Edmonton businesses
Growing Edmonton organisations need IT decisions made strategically, but rarely justify a full-time CIO salary.
Our vCIO services for Edmonton give senior IT leadership on demand: technology roadmaps, annual budgeting, vendor strategy, risk and compliance planning, and quarterly business reviews. You get the strategic layer most managed service providers skip, tied directly to execution so the plan actually gets built. This is especially valuable for Edmonton companies in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and legal, where governance and planning carry real weight. See virtual CIO →
