Our services in depth

Consultancy & Management services

Was your IT self-managed until now, but you have grown to need expert input on the way forward, helping guide you ahead?

Do you have in-house desktop IT support, but specialised or large projects with 3rd party integration demand a higher level of project planning?  

Are you building commercial letting space, and need design advice so building infrastructure will best serve tenants? 

Maybe you are a global company with BVI presence, and need local hands you can trust?  

We offer design, support or complete management and implementation services for technology & AV projects in the BVI, navigating the logistical and environmental challenges presented. 

Premium Audio

Bespoke commercial audio installations and whole-house residential audio are our favourite passion projects.  Managing engineer Dominic Bufton was building active subwoofers for college electronics projects in the early 90s.   

The best audio solutions on the planet can sound terrible if proper consideration is not given to layout and dispersion patterns.  Conversely, budget solutions can perform better than your ears would believe with correct design principles applied. 

Unlike traditional Hi-Fi focusing on a targetted listening position, the goal with most installed audio is clean and consistent sound across all areas, with seamless integration of different sources and foolproof user control.  You can hear our work at some of the BVI's premier locations.

From private villas to commercial bars, restaurants and clubs, we offer bespoke consumer and commercial audio-visual solutions (whole-house audio) to suit all needs, with access to dozens of premium brands, starting at budgets firmly within the reach of private homeowners.

Network Infrastructure

Where construction is involved, early consultation at the building design stage is highly recommended. 

Conduit schemes and structured cabling can limit or unlock your building's potential.

We deal with multiple ISPs, fibre & copper structured cabling, firewalls, switching, Wi-Fi meshes, and ground-up IT/AV installations.  From architectural design to go-live; single buildings to whole resorts.

Our preferred UniFi infrastructure solution seamlessly integrates network, firewall, access security, camera and Wi-Fi solutions in an ecosystem suitable for both private and commercial clients, although we also work with most vendors.

Hospitality, Security, Payroll & Retail Business IT Solutions

Integrating 3rd party business solutions successfully can be a painful business growth point.  

Navigating technical pre-sales, negotiating terms, and being aware of logistical, financial and environmental pitfalls specific to the BVI can be the difference between a failed and successful investment in your business.

IP Security Cameras, VOIP PBX (phone), Property Management Systems, Point Of Sale and complete Hospitality AV solutions are all covered.

We also have an in-house BVI Payroll solution suitable for small business (up to 30 employees). 

VGCS have extensive experience integrating 3rd party solutions in the BVI,

Retainers & Support

IT as a business expense must cover many different specialisations.  Finding individuals at the small business level capable of handling everything in-house can be prohibitively expensive, and those more technical skillsets may not be required for much of the time.

Outsource your IT and AV needs and budget for the year with fixed monthly payments to cover all common requirements and 24-7 emergencies. Daily and hourly rates for non-retainer clients. Fixed price projects by arrangement where viable.

Servers, Email & Cloud

The cloud has grown to be the most cost-efficient and secure way to host many business IT services, from email to SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions.   

Microsoft 365 featuring Outlook, Teams, Onedrive and Office apps synchronised across desktop, phone and browser has emerged as the dominant player, however Google Workspace is still the preference of many.  Both should be secured with MFA (multi-factor authentication). 

If still running your business on archaic POP3 and IMAP email services free with many basic hosting packages, you are likely at risk of security breaches and/or data loss in the modern era.

Those with an eye on the most secure solutions possible might be using encrypted private cloud servers (VPS), and many who want ultimate privacy, resilience from ISP issue or simply require local client-server setups still host their own physical or virtualised server farms. 

VGCS are well-versed in all the above business technologies, onsite and off, and migrations between are all fully covered.
