FAQ

Common questions

Is the checklist really free?

Yes, it’s yours to keep, no strings attached. We share it because most of the gaps we see at BC businesses are basic and inexpensive to close.

Who is Revotech?

We’re a Vancouver and Port Coquitlam managed IT provider supporting BC businesses since 2008, with a 5.0-star Google rating and no long-term contracts.

We already have an IT provider, is this still useful?

Absolutely. The checklist works as a neutral second opinion, and many of our clients use co-managed IT where we support an internal person or team.

How long does a free assessment take?

About 30 minutes. A senior engineer reviews your environment against the 21 points and gives you a plain-English report of your gaps, ranked by risk.
