Brokerage Managed IT / Vancouver Island

Brokerage Managed IT in Victoria, BC

Fully managed technology for brokerages and real estate teams: devices, identity, email, networks and a named senior advisor, under one predictable monthly fee.

Brokerage Managed IT: the Victoria brief

For real estate firms in Victoria, Brokerage Managed IT is a practical response to a plain problem: agent laptops and phones configured by whoever happened to be available that week. Brokerage Managed IT is the operating arrangement in which ITRE takes responsibility for the health, security and lifecycle of everything your brokerage runs on: managing broker workstations, agent laptops, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenants, office networks and the line-of-business systems that hold trust and transaction records. We work remotely from Vancouver and attend Victoria sites when installation or incident response needs hands on the equipment.

What is included

  1. A documented device and identity standard for managing brokers, staff and agents
  2. 24/7 monitoring, patching and endpoint protection on every enrolled device
  3. Joiner, mover and leaver workflows tied to licensing changes at the brokerage
  4. Quarterly advisory review with a written technology roadmap and budget
  5. Hardware and licence inventory with warranty and renewal tracking
  6. A security baseline of multi-factor authentication, encryption and email protection

Typical tools: Microsoft 365, Intune, Microsoft Defender, Google Workspace, Cisco Meraki and Ubiquiti.

Scope for Victoria clients

We scope Brokerage Managed IT for Victoria in stages so budget and effort follow risk. The first stage focuses on A documented device and identity standard for managing brokers, staff and agents; later stages extend to the rest of the service as your team is ready. Tools commonly involved include Microsoft 365, Intune, Microsoft Defender, Google Workspace, Cisco Meraki and Ubiquiti, though we remain independent and will recommend what fits the business, not a catalogue.

What it costs

For Victoria clients, Brokerage Managed IT typically sits within our standard ranges: $89 to $199 per user per month for managed work, $2,500 and up for fixed-scope projects, and retainers from $1,500 per month. GST of 5% is added, and a 10% launch discount applies to new engagements. Contracts are month-to-month after onboarding, and you retain ownership of every account and document.

Local conditions in Victoria

Firms on Vancouver Island work against ferry disruptions, winter windstorms that take out power and a subduction-zone earthquake risk that makes off-island backup essential, and a sensible Brokerage Managed IT design allows for them. Connectivity in the area is characterised by ferry-dependent logistics, a handful of dominant carriers and long repair lead times for hardware shipped from the mainland, which is why we plan failover and tested recovery rather than relying on a single path. Vancouver Island also shapes who your clients are: government and public-sector work in the capital region, tourism and hospitality, forestry, marine industries and a growing tech scene.

How we work

Our process is the same in Victoria as anywhere: a thirty-minute discovery call, a short findings note, an agreed plan and staged delivery. We measure results openly. Measured by the share of enrolled devices meeting the baseline, time to onboard or offboard an agent, and quarterly patch compliance. You will always know who is responsible, what has changed and what happens next.
