In today’s digital landscape, reliable IT support isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. While businesses have plenty of options, partnering with a local provider like Expera offers benefits that go beyond simply the feel-good factor of supporting local — it delivers tangible advantages that can directly impact your business’s efficiency, responsiveness, and long-term success. We serve organizations across the country, with a head office in Calgary, and coverage from the Prairies, to Ontario, to Eastern Canada.

 

1. Personalized Service and Faster Response Times

One of the clearest benefits of working with a local provider is the level of personal service you get. At Expera, we take the time to really understand how your business runs so we can tailor our support accordingly. When something goes wrong, you can rest assured that our team is available to help with both remote and on-site support.

 

2. We Know the Local Market (and Its Rules)

Because we work with businesses across industries like Finance, Energy, and Healthcare right here in Canada, we’ve developed a strong grasp of what works—and what doesn’t—in those spaces. Whether it’s helping a financial firm stay compliant with Canadian laws and industry best practices or supporting an energy company’s operational tech, we bring experience that’s relevant and practical.

We also understand that compliance isn’t just a checkbox exercise. With Canadian laws evolving, and global standards continuing to shift, we help clients stay aligned with both. You won’t get generic advice from us—we offer context-specific guidance that actually fits your environment, drawn from nearly 30 years of experience.

 

3. Strong Community Ties

We’ve built great relationships with other local businesses over the years, and we’re proud to support them in return. Whether it’s recommending a trusted partner or featuring them at one of our events, we believe in lifting up the broader business community.

Our network of local vendors and partners also means we can deliver more integrated solutions. Whether it’s bringing together a panel for multi-topic events, or recommending our preferred A/V vendor or team for office moves, there’s often less red tape and more collaboration with locally-based organizations that work well together.

 

4. Focused Security and Compliance That Reflects Local Realities and Regulations

Cybersecurity is a concern for every business, but not all threats—or regulations—are the same everywhere. Many IT resources and providers are geared toward U.S. compliance standards, which don’t always map cleanly to Canadian requirements.

We help clients understand what’s relevant here and what global practices are worth adopting. Our approach is practical: protect your systems, stay compliant, and do it in a way that works for your business size, region, and sector.

 

5. We offer Locally-Based Proactive Support

We don’t just wait for things to break before jumping in. Our team monitors systems, performs regular maintenance, and flags potential issues before they become problems. That proactive mindset helps prevent disruptions and keeps your operations running smoothly.

And because we’re local, we can show up when it matters. Many of our team members often do a quick “lap” through the office while on-site—checking in with staff, making sure everything’s working as it should. It’s a small thing, but it helps us catch issues early and build trust with your team.

 

6. We’re Committed to the Community

We’re not just here to do business—we’re part of the community, too. Expera supports local events, internships, scholarships, and more. We believe in investing in and fostering the next generation of talent and doing our part to help the local economy thrive. When you work with us, you’re partnering with a company that gives back and cares about the long-term health of the local community, and investing in the next generation of talent.
