Optimizing IT for Oil Field Efficiency

How Tara Energy Increased Productivity and Security with Expert IT Infrastructure Solutions

For over 14 years, Tara Energy has supported Alberta’s oil and gas industry, specializing in field production testing to help companies optimize well efficiency. But in 2024, their new IT director faced a critical challenge: an outdated, consumer-grade IT infrastructure that left the company vulnerable to security risks, downtime, and inefficiencies.

With a lean IT team and limited resources, he turned to our team at Kaco Systems. As an experienced IT infrastructure solutions provider in Alberta and having worked with us in past roles, he knew we could quickly deliver enterprise-grade, high-performance solutions to ensure business continuity and network reliability.

The impact was immediate. With our expertise in managed infrastructure solutions, Tara Energy transformed its network performance, security posture, and operational efficiency, setting the foundation for future scalability.

"From a service and delivery perspective, Kaco is first rate, first class. I love working with that entire team. It's been nothing but just a fantastic experience. As subject matter experts, they're very knowledgeable and have technical expertise in an area where I am not by any means an expert. "

Increased visibility and environmental control for improved security

Now, Tara Energy can proactively mitigate risks and ensure their employees stay productive without disruptions. Their IT director can rest easy, knowing the company’s network is stable, secure, and built for long-term success.
