SHEMA delivered a full network modernization project for a multi-branch industrial company operating across Alberta & BC. We designed and deployed a secure multi-site VPN, standardized the IT environment across all locations, and implemented centralized identity, backups, and monitoring. The result was a stable, high-availability environment that improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime across all facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SHEMA completed a technology overhaul for a mid-sized law office in Edmonton, replacing outdated systems with a secure, compliant, and fully integrated workspace. We restructured licensing, upgraded all workstations, implemented encrypted document workflows, and deployed a new VoIP system to support client communications. The upgrade increased productivity, strengthened privacy controls, and improved day-to-day reliability for legal staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      SHEMA implemented an integrated IT and security ecosystem for a growing Alberta retail\/warehouse operation. The project combined CCTV, NVR storage, access control, and secure network architecture into a single, unified infrastructure. Working through our Integrated Security Partnership, we also coordinated remote monitoring and guard response procedures. This deployment significantly improved loss prevention and facility oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Disparate branch networks and legacy servers blocked a planned ERP rollout. We standardized the core: modern domain controllers and site networks, rebuilt backups, hardened firewalls, deployed VoIP across sites, and delivered cybersecurity awareness for staff. In parallel, we co\u2011designed the ERP readiness roadmap with clear milestones and data hygiene steps. The organization gained a secure, scalable foundation ready for ERP and future growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          At a 25\u2011acre resort, legacy networks, analog telephony, fragile servers, and siloed communications created outages and slow guest services. We rebuilt the core: a unified Meraki network over new fiber, clustered servers with hybrid DR, Mitel IP telephony, UPS + generator power, a SharePoint intranet, and a modern guest TV platform integrated with the PMS. Result: stronger uptime and security, smoother guest experiences, and faster collaboration across operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            A critical project connected a 1.5 MW generator to a Raw Water Supply under strict client standards. We led delivery end\u2011to\u2011end: SDRL compliance, rigorous document control, stakeholder alignment, contractor oversight, and clean change management through to invoicing. By enforcing governance and quality gates, the integration landed with traceable approvals and a stable, maintainable configuration\u2014reducing delivery friction and easing future audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              A global disaster\u2011management program needed a reliable, scalable web platform. We modernized the hosting stack and implemented a Drupal\u2011based architecture with documented lifecycles, QA checkpoints, and content governance aligned to the mandate. The work standardized workflows for distributed contributors, improved transparency, and made the portal easier to evolve without service breaks\u2014enabling predictable releases and faster content updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Within a complex secretariat, processes and costs were fragmented. We assessed Azure service models (IaaS\/PaaS\/SaaS), updated disaster\u2011recovery sizing, supervised vendors, and used UMOJA\/Primavera\/MS Project to track KPIs and cross\u2011team plans. Paired with feasibility studies and communications analysis, this delivered a practical cloud and ERP posture\u2014more resilient, easier to govern, and positioned to reduce run costs while maintaining compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  A cross\u2011functional energy agency needed consistent IT operations and standards. We directed day\u2011to\u2011day ops and standardized policies, API\u2011driven workflows, and service management across Help Desk and NOC. Platforms such as Inspire and Navigator were introduced to streamline collaboration and knowledge. Outcome: faster, more predictable support, cleaner hand\u2011offs between teams, and a foundation for continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
