Why we don't have tiers
Tiered service models can mean smaller clients get slower responses and less senior attention. We chose not to build that structure. When everyone gets the same standard, the standard stays high.

Our Team
Senior engineers only
You work with the same senior team every time. Every person on our team has decades of experience.
Our Standard
Equal service for every client
A five-person office gets the same security stack and the same engineers as a two-hundred-person operation. No tiers of quality.
Our Independence
Zero outside investment
Profitable since day one. No venture capital, no private equity, no pressure to prioritize growth over service.
Our Framework
CIS Controls v8 Implementation Group 1, implemented in full and documented for every client. Not aspirational. Verifiable.
“IT is about trust, not just security, uptime, or money. You trust us to keep your business running so that you can provide for your family, friends, and staff. We do not take that responsibility lightly.”

Who we are
Built by hand. Not by playbook.
2000
Year founded
CMO IT Services was founded in 2000 by Chris and Shaun. Greg joined early, and the three of them became the core that everything else was built around. Back then, managed IT wasn't a category. There were no playbooks, no vendor ecosystems, no acronyms. Just businesses that needed their computers to work and three people who knew how to make that happen.
Twenty-six years later, the industry grew up around us. We stayed small on purpose. A team of senior engineers, where every client is served by the same people who built the company.
We're in the customer service business. The technology is what we're good at, but the service is why people stay. When something breaks at 4:25 on a Friday, you're not calling a queue. You're calling people who know your name, your network, and what matters to your business.
Seventy clients across different industries means we've seen most problems before they reach your door. What we learn protecting a construction company's field crews sharpens how we think about a law firm's remote access. Twenty-six years of that cross-pollination is hard to replicate.
The least glamorous part of this job is documentation, and it’s the part that saves you on the worst day. We write down how your network is built, why a server has to reboot in a particular order, where every licence lives, so the answer never depends on one person picking up the phone on a Saturday.
We've watched our clients' businesses grow, their children grow up, and their now-grown children introduce their own kids to us.
That's not a marketing line. It's what happens when you stay in the same community, doing the same work, for a quarter century. Our clients aren't account numbers. They're people we see at the grocery store, at community events, at their kids' hockey games. That's the kind of relationship that keeps you honest.
Not all our clients need full managed IT. Some have capable internal teams that need senior-level guidance for complex projects, cybersecurity architecture, or compliance work. We consult with those teams as advisors and educators, not operators. We never touch their networks. Their staff executes every recommendation. It's a model that's growing because experienced senior engineers are getting harder to find, and twenty-six years of cross-industry knowledge is hard to hire for.
What drives us
Principles, not policies.
02
What independence protects
Independent ownership means our priorities don't shift with an investor's. Senior staff stay, service standards hold, and your relationship doesn't reset next quarter. That stability is structural, not a slogan.
03
Earn it, don't enforce it
We use service agreements to define scope, responsibilities, and expectations clearly, but we believe loyalty should be earned through service quality, not contractual inertia. Most of our clients have been with us for years. Some for decades. Technology should make your business stronger, not more complicated. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Where we work
Rooted in Prince George. Serving all of Northern BC.
Our office is at 1515 8th Avenue in Prince George, but our clients span the region. Remote management tools mean geography isn't a barrier to service quality. Every client gets the same monitoring, the same support standards, and the same team.
Our security operations centre monitors every managed environment around the clock. When a critical threat is detected, our engineers are on-call to respond.

CMO is the life work of Chris, Shaun, and Greg. Not a stepping stone, not a portfolio asset, not a growth experiment. We built this company to serve our community, and that's what it will continue to do.
We have a pact: this company stays independent. The people who built it are the people who run it.
To our clients: thank you for your trust. We don't take any of it for granted.
