Who We Are:

At APII INC, we aren't just an IT Service Provider; we are changing the landscape of how businesses operate securely. We service clients across the GTA—with and without in-house IT departments—delivering uncompromized IT support and infrastructure management.

Our Mission & Vision:
We are driven by a singular goal: to be the global standard for accessible, intelligent cybersecurity. We are disrupting the industry by democratizing enterprise-level technologies, empowering organizations of every size to thrive in a secure digital world.

- Helpdesk Leadership: Act as the Service Desk Manager and primary escalation point. Guide, train, and mentor junior technicians to elevate the team's capabilities and ensure top-tier service delivery.
- Cloud & Infrastructure Administration: Manage Microsoft 365/Azure, Google Cloud (GCP), AWS, and Windows Server environments (including Active Directory, Group Policies, and DNS/DHCP).
- Hardware & Procurement: Oversee the deployment, imaging, and lifecycle of DELL/HP/Lenovo workstations and Apple (OSX/iOS) devices. Research new technologies and coordinate with vendors for strategic hardware procurement.
