IT Consulting Services
Technology planning for small businesses across Markham and the North GTA.
Buying new software or hardware is the easy part. Knowing whether it’s the right move for your business is harder. VBS works through that decision with you first, then handles the project once the direction is set.

“The thing I really like about VBS is that theyre always so proactive in reaching out and letting us know about a problem.”
Trusted by businesses across Markham and the North GTA
These are a few of the companies VBS has worked with over the years, from businesses that needed a single helpdesk contact to ones that handed their entire technology environment over to us.
Advice from the team that also does the work
VBS builds the plan and then delivers it, so the same people recommending an upgrade are accountable for it working. That’s different from paying for a report and being left to carry it out on your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only give advice, or do you handle the project too?
Both. Plenty of consultants stop at the recommendation. VBS puts together the plan and manages the rollout, so the same team is accountable for it working.
How do you decide what we should invest in first?
By looking at what’s causing the most friction right now, and what’s likely to get worse if it’s left alone. We won’t push a project that isn’t worth the cost yet.
We already have an IT provider for support. Can you still help with planning?
Yes. IT consulting works fine alongside an existing support provider, and a lot of our consulting clients keep their day-to-day support exactly where it is.
What size of project do you typically take on?
Anything from a single system upgrade to a multi-year technology plan. The scope is shaped around what the business needs.
How much does IT consulting cost?
Cost depends on the scope of the project, a single system review looks very different from a multi-year roadmap. We’ll scope it with you before quoting anything, so there are no surprises partway through.
