Why We Planted Roots in Red Deer: A Local Approach to World-Class IT

Kevin Kembel
"At Transpera, we believe every business, regardless of location, deserves access to world-class technology, expert support, and service they can count on. That’s why we’ve made Red Deer not just part of our story, but a core focus of our mission. Red Deer is a vibrant business hub with hardworking entrepreneurs, diverse industries, and a strong sense of community. But despite its energy and potential, Red Deer has long been underserved when it comes to high-quality IT services. Many local businesses have had to rely on firms based in larger cities, often sacrificing responsiveness, customization, and that local touch that really matters. We saw an opportunity to change that."

More Than Just Managed Services

At Transpera, we know that “managed services” has become a catch-all term. But we don’t just do managed services—we’ve evolved them. Our approach is built around transparency, results, and community feedback.

"What we consistently hear from local businesses is simple—they want to understand what they’re paying for. That’s why we focus on clarity, outcomes, and value. We’ve taken traditional managed services and evolved them into something far more personalized and proactive," says JT Thompson, VP of Services at Transpera and local Red Deer resident.

We believe that understanding breeds trust, and trust builds lasting partnerships.

Closing the Gap in Local IT Support

Red Deer businesses face the same challenges as those in Calgary or Edmonton - cybersecurity threats, growing digital demands, system integrations, and the need for operational efficiency. Yet, too often, they haven’t had access to the same calibre of IT partners.

Transpera was founded on the belief that Red Deer and all communities deserve better. That’s why we’ve built our team with local experts who live and work in the community. Our leadership is deeply rooted here, and we bring with us the experience of having worked with national and global companies, now applied directly to support Red Deer businesses.

Innovation, Right Here at Home

We’re not just another IT provider—we’re a technology partner. Our services go beyond break-fix solutions. With offerings like TransperaAI (our innovative, AI-powered automation and insight platform), custom software development, and proactive managed services, we’re giving Red Deer businesses tools that put them on a level playing field with the largest companies in Canada.
You shouldn’t have to look to a major city for cutting-edge tech. We’re making it accessible, affordable, and most importantly - local.

Relationships First, Technology Second

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to partnership. We take the time to understand our clients’ goals, challenges, and business environment. From day one, we’ve prioritized long-term success over quick wins. Whether you’re a small manufacturer, a local retailer, or a fast-growing professional services firm, we tailor our solutions to your needs—and grow with you.

“What I love about working with businesses in Red Deer is how real the conversations are. People here aren’t interested in fluff—they just want to know what they’re getting, how it helps, and that they can trust you to deliver. That’s exactly how we operate at Transpera.” – Damian Horner, Senior Business Development Manager at Transpera and Sylvan Lake resident.

Community-Driven. Business-Focused.

We don’t just serve the Red Deer community—we’re part of it. Being local means we can show up when you need us, speak the same language, and support the initiatives that matter here. From mentoring young professionals to sponsoring local events, our commitment to Red Deer goes well beyond IT.

What’s Next?

As Red Deer continues to grow, Transpera is here to ensure that its businesses have the tools and technology they need to thrive. We’re proud of the trust we’ve built and excited about what’s ahead.
