IT project quotes for Trois-Rivières businesses
A Trois-Rivières business preparing an IT project can submit its quote request to Courtier TI, like any business elsewhere in Québec. The Courtier TI team first contacts you to clarify the request; the IT services firm selected then presents its quote and carries out the mandate.

Trois-Rivières, between the river, UQTR and its economic development organization
According to Statistics Canada's 2021 Census, Trois-Rivières had 139,163 residents. The Mauricie profile published by the Government of Québec (in French) lists Trois-Rivières among the region's main municipalities, along with Shawinigan, La Tuque, Louiseville and Saint-Boniface.
The same census provides a commuting profile: of the 46,750 employed residents with a usual place of work, 37,140 worked in Trois-Rivières itself. Whether your team works in a single building or across several sites, one rule of caution applies to any SMB: if the backup sits in the same room as the server, an outage, a disaster or ransomware can hit the original and the copy at the same time.
The City of Trois-Rivières (in French) entrusts Innovation et Développement économique Trois-Rivières with supporting and coordinating all economic development across its territory. The organization describes itself as a one-stop service for entrepreneurs, and the City states that it is responsible for managing and developing infrastructure the City owns, including the airport, the marine terminal, the industrial parks and Parc Micro Sciences. Its mission reads: "Ensure Trois-Rivières' leadership in sustainable economic development by mobilizing local resources, creating collective wealth and raising the city's visibility."
Located minutes from the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Parc Micro Sciences is presented by IDÉ Trois-Rivières as a meeting place between private enterprise and the research community, in sectors such as industrial bioprocesses, environmental technologies, information and communications technologies, and telecommunications and electronics. On its Innovation and productivity page (in French), the organization also gathers support resources, including a category devoted to digital transition, AI and cybersecurity.
The Chambre de commerce et d'industries de Trois-Rivières (in French) brings together and represents businesses from every sector. Its mission is to mobilize, build connections and inform in order to make a difference in the business community, from a sustainable development perspective.
A useful backup is measured at restore time. Before requesting a quote, note what must be protected (file server, Microsoft 365 accounts, line-of-business software, workstations), how many hours of work you could afford to lose and who should be able to restore. If copies contain personal information, Law 25 also governs how they are kept; our Law 25 guide covers the basics. Courtier TI is not affiliated with IDÉ Trois-Rivières or the Chamber: describe your project at courtierti.com; the team will contact you.

Sample project (fictional scenario)
An environmental technology SMB that would like more reliable backups
Environmental technologies are among the sectors IDÉ Trois-Rivières highlights at Parc Micro Sciences. Imagine an SMB in this field, with about twenty employees, that would keep analysis data and project reports on an in-house server, with a copy on an external drive plugged in at the same location. It would like to know whether its data could be restored after an outage or ransomware. The Courtier TI team would first contact it to clarify the request: data volume, cloud services already in use, desired retention period, people who should be able to restore. The request would then be assigned to the IT services firm whose expertise matches the project. Its quote could include an off-site copy, backup of Microsoft 365 accounts, monitoring of backup jobs and a documented restore test. If the SMB accepted the quote, the IT services firm would carry out the mandate.
This scenario is fictional and for illustration only.
Frequently asked questions
My business is in Shawinigan or elsewhere in Mauricie: is that possible?
Yes. Courtier TI accepts requests from businesses in Trois-Rivières as it does from businesses across Québec, including the rest of Mauricie. State the city where your business is located in the form.
Doesn't Microsoft 365 already back up our data?
Microsoft 365 retains your data and offers some recovery options, but their scope and duration are limited. A separate backup of email, OneDrive and SharePoint is something to specify in your request; the IT services firm selected details the terms in its quote.
What should a backup quote cover?
What is backed up, where the copies go, how often, how long they are kept, who monitors the jobs and how a restore test is performed. The Courtier TI team helps you put these points into words before assigning the request.
