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 But in 2024, their new IT director faced a critical challenge—an outdated, consumer-grade IT infrastructure that left the company vulnerable to security risks, downtime, and inefficiencies.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 Kaco Systems, an experienced IT infrastructure solutions provider in Alberta, to modernize their network and improve performance. Having worked with Kaco in the past, he knew they could quickly deliver enterprise-grade, high-performance solutions to ensure business continuity and network reliability.

The impact was immediate. With Kaco’s 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. "

Reliable business continuity with a Modernized IT Infrastructure

Before working with Kaco, Tara Energy relied on an IT environment with single points of failure, making the risk of unexpected downtime and data loss extremely high.

With Kaco’s managed infrastructure services, the company implemented:

✅ High availability and redundancy to prevent outages

✅ 24/7 network monitoring to detect and resolve issues proactively

✅ 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.

Improved security posture for Oil & Gas IT Environments

🔐 Before Kaco:

  • Consumer-grade IT products created security gaps and single points of failure
  • No high availability or redundancy, increasing risk of cyber threats and downtime
  • Vulnerable to data breaches and operational disruptions

🔒 After Kaco:

  • Enterprise-grade IT infrastructure solutions designed for oil and gas companies
  • Improved security architecture with next-generation firewalls and switches
  • Proactive network monitoring to prevent security threats before they happen

By working with one of the top IT infrastructure companies in Alberta, Tara Energy now operates with a resilient, highly secure network that protects critical data and business operations.

Increased operational efficiency with Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure Solutions

For oil and gas companies in Alberta, access to real-time data is crucial. Tara Energy integrates financial, operational, quality assurance, service, and field ticketing data into a centralized system—meaning their network needs to deliver speed, efficiency, and security.

Kaco implemented networking and edge solutions that dramatically improved data accessibility and reporting efficiency:

✅ Faster report generation—critical business data is now pulled instantly

✅ Optimized network traffic for seamless communication between offices

✅ Reduced latency, ensuring remote teams stay connected with Calgary HQ

By upgrading their IT infrastructure, Tara Energy can now generate reports effortlessly, enabling smarter decision-making and increased business agility.

Better Employee Experience & Seamless Connectivity

Not only can the IT director sleep easier at night, confident that the company relies on redundant, enterprise-grade solutions, but the team’s day-to-day work experience has also significantly improved.

The results:

  • More stable internet connection
  • Improved collaboration on cloud-based applications
  • No downtime, faster file access, and enhanced user experience

With a fully optimized network, Tara Energy employees can now:

✔ Communicate effortlessly on Microsoft Teams

✔ Open large ERP and business applications faster

Future-Proofing IT Infrastructure for Scalability & Growth

When Tara Energy’s IT director joined the company, his priority was clear:

  • Build a long-term IT infrastructure strategy that aligns with the company’s business goals
  • Ensure a secure, high-performance network that scales as the company grows

With Kaco’s managed infrastructure solutions, they successfully implemented:

✅ Next-generation firewalls & switches at their head office in Calgary, Alberta

✅ A security-first approach to IT modernization

Seeing the immediate success, Tara Energy is now planning to expand these upgrades to their Grand Prairie office, which faces similar IT challenges.
