IT Consulting & Implementation
What is IT Consulting?
IT consulting is the practice of assessing your current technology environment, identifying gaps, and designing a roadmap that aligns your IT infrastructure with your business goals. At AltaCom, consulting is always hands-on — we don't hand you a report and leave. We design the solution and implement it.
We are platform-agnostic. Whether your business needs Zoho, Google Workspace, AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Microsoft Azure, or a combination — we pick the right tool for your requirements, not the one with the biggest vendor incentive.
From network redesigns and server consolidation to cloud migrations and ERP rollout support — every project follows our four-stage process: Discover, Design, Deploy, and Handoff with full documentation and 30-day hypercare.

Strategy and implementation across every major platform
Whether you need a technology roadmap, an IT modernization plan, a CRM rollout, an ERP rollout, a cloud migration, or a full network redesign — AltaCom has the team to design it and deliver it.
IT Strategy & Consulting
Technology roadmaps, vendor evaluations, and architecture planning — we assess your environment and build a strategy aligned to your business goals before touching anything.
AI Platform Adoption
From Microsoft Copilot to Google Gemini to Claude Enterprise to open-source LLMs — we implement AI tools securely inside your existing environment with a clear adoption plan.
IT Modernization
Legacy servers, unsupported software, and flat networks create real risk. We plan and execute infrastructure modernization without disrupting the business.
ERP Implementation Support
Infrastructure readiness, connectivity, and IT support during ERP rollouts — ensuring your platform launches on a stable, secure foundation.
Network Design & Implementation
Structured cabling, switching, SD-WAN, firewall configuration, and wireless design. We build networks for reliability and security, then commission them to spec.
New Business IT Setup
Starting a new business? We handle everything — email, devices, network, security, and cloud — so you can focus on building the business, not figuring out IT.
Microsoft 365 & Azure Consulting
Microsoft 365 deployment, Teams governance, SharePoint, Exchange migration, Azure infrastructure, Entra ID, and Copilot — we design and implement the full Microsoft stack.
Google Workspace Implementation
Gmail, Drive, Meet, Docs, and admin console configuration for organizations choosing Google over Microsoft. Migrations from legacy email and file systems included.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
GCP project setup, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Kubernetes Engine, and BigQuery deployments — for teams building or migrating workloads onto Google infrastructure.
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, and IAM configuration. We design and implement AWS environments that are cost-optimized, secure, and aligned to your workload requirements.
DigitalOcean
Droplets, managed databases, App Platform, and Spaces object storage — practical cloud infrastructure for startups and growing businesses that want simplicity without lock-in.
Zoho Platform Implementation
Full Zoho suite deployment — CRM, Books, Projects, Desk, and Analytics. One integrated platform that replaces the fragmented mix of tools most growing businesses are stuck managing.
Cloud Platforms
The right cloud for your workload — not just the most popular one.
AltaCom is platform-agnostic. We assess your workloads, team capabilities, and long-term cost profile before recommending a cloud provider — then we implement and manage it. Here is where each platform fits best.
Google Cloud Platform
GCP suits organizations already running Google Workspace or needing BigQuery analytics, Cloud Run serverless workloads, or Kubernetes at scale via GKE.
Amazon Web Services
AWS offers the broadest service catalogue in cloud — ideal for regulated workloads, complex multi-region architectures, and teams already invested in the AWS ecosystem.
DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean delivers predictable, straightforward cloud pricing with managed databases, App Platform, and Spaces — the right fit for SMBs that want cloud without enterprise complexity.
Zoho Cloud (Business Apps)
Zoho provides an integrated suite of over 45 business applications — CRM, accounting, project management, customer support, and analytics — at a fraction of the cost of Salesforce or SAP.
IT Modernization
Legacy infrastructure is a business risk.
Aging servers, unsupported software, and flat networks do not just slow your team down — they create real security exposure and operational risk. AltaCom helps Calgary and Alberta businesses modernize without disrupting the business.
Server Consolidation & Cloud Migration
We assess on-premise infrastructure, identify consolidation opportunities, and migrate workloads to cloud or hybrid environments — with a tested rollback plan at every stage.
Network Refresh & Segmentation
Flat networks are a security liability. We redesign switching, wireless, and firewall architecture — segmenting traffic, closing unnecessary ports, and replacing end-of-life hardware.
End-of-Life System Replacement
Unsupported servers, legacy storage, and aging business applications are replaced before the vendor drops security patches — and before attackers take notice.
Security Baseline Implementation
Every modernization engagement includes a security baseline: MFA enforcement, endpoint protection, email filtering, and patch management — built in from day one.
How We Work
Every project follows the same disciplined process.
Discover & Assess
We document your current environment, business goals, and platform constraints before any recommendation is made. No assumptions, no templated solutions.
Design & Plan
Architecture diagrams, implementation timeline, rollback procedures, and user communication strategy — all reviewed and approved before work begins.
Deploy & Validate
Phased rollout with validation checkpoints at every stage. Most deployments happen outside business hours to minimize disruption to your team.
Handoff & Hypercare
Full documentation, admin training, and 30-day hypercare support after every engagement. You own the environment — we make sure you can run it.
