IT for Alberta Energy Companies
IT built for Oil & Gas
Calgary's oil and gas companies operate across vast, remote environments — wellsites, field offices, and engineering teams that need reliable connectivity, secure data access, and IT systems that don't go down when it matters.
AltaCom has supported Alberta energy companies for over 15 years — from junior explorers to mid-size producers. We understand the IT challenges specific to the sector: connecting remote sites with limited infrastructure, managing operational technology alongside corporate IT, securing regulatory and production data, and ensuring field crews have the tools they need regardless of location.
As an Azure partner, we also help energy companies modernise — moving to cloud-based data management, enabling remote collaboration, and reducing the overhead of on-premises infrastructure that's difficult to maintain across multiple sites.

IT challenges specific to Oil & Gas
Remote site connectivity
Wellsites and field offices with unreliable internet need IT that works regardless. We design connectivity solutions and ensure critical systems stay up at every location.
Production & regulatory data
AER reporting, production data, and engineering files that must be available, backed up, and auditable. We manage the infrastructure that keeps your data safe and accessible.
Field crew access
Crews in the field need access to job data, safety documentation, and communication tools from any device. Secure mobile access without compromising corporate data.
OT/IT security exposure
Energy companies are prime cyberattack targets. Ransomware that hits your corporate IT can spread. We segment and protect both environments.

Common IT questions from Calgary oil & gas
Oil & Gas IT — questions answered
Yes. AltaCom has experience supporting Alberta energy companies with distributed operations — from Calgary head offices to remote field locations with limited connectivity. We design IT architectures that work across variable connectivity conditions, implement local caching and offline capability where needed, and provide remote monitoring and support for all sites from our Calgary operations centre.
Energy companies in Alberta are actively targeted by ransomware and nation-state threat actors. AltaCom deploys layered security: endpoint detection and response (EDR) on all devices, email filtering with advanced threat protection, network segmentation to isolate operational technology, MFA on all remote access, and 24/7 monitoring through our managed SOC. We can also provide vCISO services for companies with regulatory or insurance requirements for a documented security program.
Yes. AltaCom is an Azure partner and has migrated Calgary energy companies from on-premises infrastructure to Azure. We handle the migration planning, execution, and ongoing Azure management — including cost optimisation to ensure your cloud spend matches your operational footprint (which fluctuates in energy). Cloud infrastructure also simplifies scaling for project-based staffing increases.
Yes. Joint ventures and working interest arrangements often require controlled data sharing between multiple companies. AltaCom configures Azure and Microsoft 365 environments that allow secure collaboration with external parties — specific SharePoint sites, Teams channels, or data rooms with appropriate access controls and audit logging.
