Coming from the small town of Beamsville, Extreme Technology started as a local shop providing solutions to personal computers. Over the years, however, the company has increasingly diversified to offer enterprise level web applications to companies across Canada.
In order to provide solutions to some of the largest firms in Canada, you first need to be able to deal with the smallest customer with the most insignificant problem. What might appear insignificant to you or me could mean a disaster to someone else. Remaining true to its roots, Extreme Technology is still a leader when it comes to computer sales and service, network and server management. Our expertise from computer service has allowed us climb the ladder in providing solutions for the enterprise market space as well as the residential and small and medium-sized business market.
Being in the IT industry over the past nine years hasn’t been easy. Technology has a rapid turnover rate. Approximately every 90 days new hardware and technology is released. In order to stay competitive and ahead of market, you must keep up to date with training and hire employees that are constantly expanding their knowledge. The key to success is a valuable team of accomplished individuals with various skill sets. Hiring staff that work well in a team environment is essential to any business—but it’s even more imperative in the technology sector.
The world today is filled with endless possibilities. We have almost everything available at our fingertips, whether it’s simplified processes, increased efficiencies or mobile offices and workspaces. You just need to have the right resources available to take advantage of what’s out there. Extreme Technology can help you identify inefficiencies and take advantage of what’s available in today’s ever-changing world.
Technology doesn’t drive change, it enables change. Implementation shouldn’t be a roadblock but a road to endless possibilities.

Recently, Extreme Technology developed new software for tracking SR&ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development) claims in Canada, and moved into a market that was once handled by accounting professionals. Our Precision SR&ED software allows companies to easily track their labour, materials, expenses, projects and employees using a web and mobile based application. Our platform provided a solution to an industry problem and is now used by Fortune 500 companies all the way down to small family run businesses with one or two employees. Whether it’s a SR&ED consultant or a company managing their own SR&ED data, our software can make managing time and information a snap.
At the end of the day, it’s not always about how big your company is–it’s about the ambition you have and the desire to get the top. “Mistakes are the development of perfection” and anyone in business will tell you that overnight successes stories don’t happen without hard work and certain failures. It’s what you take from those lessons and apply it moving forward. At Extreme Technology, we want to work with our customers and provide them with solutions that offer them a competitive advantage.
Technology doesn’t drive change, it enables change. Implementation shouldn’t be a roadblock but a road to endless possibilities. Give us a call and see how we can make your business more efficient or show you the road to change.
