Managed IT and Cyber Security Professionals in Edmonton

Our Founder

Shant Chakmakian has over 12 years of experience as an IT Professional, supporting small to large non-profit organizations, charities and membership associations. He is passionate about supporting his community by being a former board member of NAIT’s Board of Governors, as well as JCI Edmonton. He is currently an alumnus of the LEAD Student Award of Distinction and presents at NAIT’s technology events and mentors IT students and professionals. In 2012, Shant was awarded the First Timer’s Award at the JCI Canada National Conference.

Having extensive experience with small non-profit associations to large private enterprises, Shant realized that non-profit organizations, charities and membership associations face increasing risk from cyber security and privacy threats. In 2012 Shant founded SC Systems, Inc. to support, protect and empower these organizations in realizing their mission by connecting them to harmonious technology.

Shant is a 3 time NAIT graduate from Network Engineering, Computer Network Administration, and BAIST focusing on network management. He is also a Cisco Certified Design Associate, trained and experienced in Fortinet firewall security, antispam, wireless and networking programs.

When he’s not being a technology nerd, or volunteering in the community, he enjoys staying active by going for hikes, climbing mountains and occasionally wrestling grizzly bears.

We empower these public organizations by protecting and managing their information technology needs with industry-leading partners and tools.

Client Testimonials

SC Systems came into our office and reviewed with us our needs and concerns, did a complete diagnostic of our existing system, and made recommendations with priority rankings. Having potential problems flagged ahead of time, with an idea of when these items might need attention was a great tool for budgeting, especially as an organization that prepares its budget several months ahead of the next year.

SC Systems understands that non-profit organizations have different requirements than the private sector and they work with us to ensure our technology strategy is aligned with our long-term goals and the objectives we have for serving our clients. Their team is great to work with. They are both knowledgeable and approachable, and they have made it easy to use technology in our workplace. They put the people they serve first, and coming from a non-profit organization, that is one of the things I appreciate most!

When we first engaged SC Systems as our service provider we were undergoing a complex transition within our organization that required co-ordination between numerous internal and external stakeholders. SC Systems was able to work with these parties seamlessly and complete a large migration of our network.
