What Contego Tech Solutions does

Contego Tech Solutions is a privately held, Calgary-based IT services and solutions provider serving mid-market and enterprise organizations across Western Canada and Ontario. The firm operates three integrated service lines: ERP Solutions centered on Acumatica cloud ERP and Microsoft Dynamics SL; Managed IT Services spanning infrastructure, security, devices, VCIO advisory, IT management, IT support, and application licensing; and Custom Software Development covering integrations, legacy modernization, and vertical-specific applications for education, workforce, and building supply retail. The company is an authorized Apple reseller and maintains partnerships with Microsoft Dynamics, Fortinet, Acumatica, Lenovo, IBM, and D-Link to deliver multi-vendor solutions.

The business operates a mixed revenue model combining professional services (ERP implementation, custom development), recurring managed services (VCIO, IT management, IT support), and hardware resale (Apple devices). Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence, and the firm uses content marketing (Contego Blog, ERP Tip Tuesday) and a free network assessment as top-of-funnel mechanisms before converting via direct enterprise field sales and channel partner co-sell. The company runs two Alberta-incorporated legal entities — Contego Tech Solutions Inc. and Contego Software Solutions Inc. — separating the core IT services business from the software/IP business, which supports a Contego Partner Program referenced on the ERP contact form.

Contego is owner-operated under President Kevin Esau with Vice Presidents Scott Michael (Business Solutions) and Arnold Janzen. The firm claims over two decades of operating experience in Alberta and emphasizes vendor-neutral ERP advisory, multi-platform integration capability, and customized add-on modules (Vacation Tracker, Field Tickets, External Payroll Export, Cycle Counts, Checklists) layered on Acumatica. No external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed, and revenue is not publicly reported.
