Our Story
50 Years of Innovation
Back in 1974, when the concept of personal and workplace computers was a foreign concept for most people in British Columbia, visionary entrepreneur Ed Life founded Tecnet. Recognizing the future significance of computers in daily life, business, and government, Tecnet established services to support these emerging technologies.
For fifty years, we’ve been at the forefront of the IT industry, consistently providing expert IT services to an extensive range of clients, including thousands of provincial government employees and numerous private corporations throughout British Columbia.
We are proud of our roots and excited about the future. As we look forward, Tecnet is more committed than ever to empower you with reliable, innovative IT solutions that pave the way for success in the ever-changing digital landscape.
