Inspiris

What Inspiris does

Inspiris is a Calgary-based managed IT services firm and authorized Laserfiche Value Added Reseller, founded in 1994 and operating continuously in Western Canada for nearly 30 years. The company serves three primary verticals—small and medium enterprises, municipal and provincial government, and educational institutions (school divisions, colleges, polytechnics)—with a bundled offering that includes managed IT support, Laserfiche Enterprise Content Management implementation, Microsoft 365 cloud migration, cybersecurity, and digital transformation consulting. It employs approximately 11 people across offices in Calgary and Pincher Creek and is privately held by the Regehr family, with no external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership disclosed. The firm reports serving "hundreds of businesses and government departments" across Western Canada, with documented client relationships in counties, municipalities, and K-12 school divisions including the County of Newell, Lethbridge School Division, Red Deer Polytechnic, Kneehill County, Town of Bowden, Chinook's Edge School Division, and Kore Logistics.

The technical foundation is the Laserfiche ECM platform, on which Inspiris builds client implementations and one proprietary sub-product, FieldTrip Pro—a field-trip management workflow solution tailored for K-12 institutions. The managed IT offering bundles 24/7/365 support, network monitoring, endpoint protection, cloud backup, and project work under a single flat-rate monthly subscription, and the firm layers AI and automation capabilities on top of Laserfiche's AI features and Microsoft Power BI rather than developing proprietary models. The Laserfiche VAR relationship has been maintained for over 11 years, providing the firm with preferential access to Laserfiche's enterprise pipeline in government and education across Western Canada.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring monthly subscriptions for managed IT services, software licensing and implementation fees for Laserfiche deployments, and project-based professional services for cloud migration, digital transformation, and workflow automation. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, anchored by free "Technology Alignment Sessions" offered by the owner, direct outreach via website, phone, and an Office 365 booking system, and supplemented by published case studies and testimonials. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed beyond the conceptual flat-rate managed IT model, and revenue figures are not disclosed in available data.
