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.
Our history as one of the first IT companies to support the Provincial Government of BC in adopting workplace computing underscores our deep commitment to advancing technology throughout the province. With two major support centers in Victoria and Vancouver, complemented by a robust network of 35 Authorized Support Centres strategically located across British Columbia, Tecnet is optimally positioned to offer unparalleled IT services wherever you are. Our extensive reach enables us to efficiently serve a diverse range of clients, including government entities, non-profits, and businesses, ensuring that whether you’re in a bustling city or a remote community, you have access to the support you need. Our goal is to ensure that every client, regardless of location, receives consistent, top-tier IT services and support.
Over the decades, we have formed meaningful partnerships with various organizations that resonate with our values. For instance, through our support of Big Brothers Big Sisters Victoria, we help ensure that vulnerable children in our community receive the mentorship they need to thrive. Similarly, our ongoing financial contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society aid in funding critical cancer research and support services. Furthermore, our involvement with the Victoria Hospitals Foundation has assisted in acquiring essential medical equipment and resources that enhance patient care.
We have a deep-rooted commitment to giving back to the community that has supported us for so long. This commitment is a core part of our mission, reflecting our belief that true success is achieved when we lift others as we climb.
Our dedication extends beyond operational efficiency to active community involvement. We prioritize environmentally responsible products and actively participate in local initiatives, from beach cleanups to safe recycling of computer parts. We offer sustainable solutions to our clients, supporting them in achieving their environmental goals. We partner with companies that adhere to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ensuring our practices promote environmental consciousness.
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. We strive to maximize the lifespan of computer equipment, minimize waste, and repurpose hardware whenever feasible. Often, we refurbish old equipment and donate it within the community, simultaneously addressing environmental objectives and social responsibility.
