Mission Statement

Excel Consulting Ltd. is a privately owned Information Technology Consulting firm, based in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was founded on December 1, 1989 to address the growing need for effective on-site Technical Support Services for computer systems and networks in the local small to medium business market. Our systems expertise includes Microsoft Windows servers and desktops, Linux (SuSE, Red Hat, and others), Apple OS X, and IOS, and most brands of UNIX (HP-UX, IBM AIX, SCO, and others). We are Value Added Resellers for a wide variety of Computer Hardware, Software and Networking products. Our key software business partners include: Microsoft, AVG, Sage, Reflexion Networks. Our major hardware partners include Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Peripheral Express and American Power Conversion.

Excel specializes in Microsoft Windows Small Buiness Servers, remote server management services and prompt response to daily operational issues with computer systems and networks.  We offer proactive monitoring and support for servers, desktops, and networks, with on-site repair of most hardware and software problems. We stock essential parts, like power supplies, memory, and network switches to get you back up and running quickly. We carry tools to diagnose and repair most day to day problems from the Ethernet cableing right up to the most advanced servers and network storage. We can help with extended LAN or branch office network design, on-site and off-site backup solutions, anti-virus and firewall issues, SPAM filtering, layer 3 switches with routed subnets, remote access and virtual private network (VPN) solutions. Excel also offers Internet Domain Name registration and website development and website hosting solutions.

Our goal is to develop lasting business relationships by consistently delivering the highest quality products and effective, friendly, and personalized services. We strive to Excel in all endeavours, and to earn respect and repeat business by always delivering an honest day's work for a fair price. Our first priority is quick response to "system down emergencies" from our existing client base. We can resolve many computer problems by remote access, and typically have someone on site within a four hours. Our goal is to consistently exceed expectations and to aim for nothing less than 100% customer satisfaction. We can deliver most computer products in a day or two, but our service is always in stock.

Our favourite motto is from the US Naval Construction Batallions (CB's) during times of war and peace. "With willing hearts and skillful hands, the difficult we do at once, the impossible takes a little longer."

We have been designing and supporting Ethernet and Microsoft networks since they were invented over 30 years ago. Our business focus is support services for Systems and Network Software and most common business applications.  We do some database and Intranet application development and maintenance for our services clients, but software development is non-strategic.

We partner with a number of other local business to deliver a full spectrum of IT servers from needs analysis right through to decommisioning and recycling of unwanted hardware. I we don't offer the products or serivces that you are looking for, chances are that we know someone who does.

We can offer a better price if you drop off your PC or notebook, however, we do make house calls when necessary.
