What's included in managed IT

Built-in Disaster Recovery
Scalable Systems Architecture

Problems fixed before anyone notices.

Servers, PCs and network devices are monitored around the clock. When a disk fills up, a backup fails or a device goes offline, our team gets the alert and acts before it slows your staff down.

  • 24/7 alerts
  • Servers & PCs
  • Network devices
Talk to an advisor

One number for every IT question.

Your team calls, emails or opens a ticket and reaches technicians who already know your setup: password resets, printer problems, new staff accounts and everything in between.

  • Phone & email
  • Remote fixes
  • On-site visits

Protection that stays switched on.

Patching, endpoint protection, firewall management and email filtering are set up once and kept current, so a missed update doesn't turn into a breach.

  • Patching
  • Endpoint protection
  • Firewalls

Email, Teams and files, managed.

We handle users, licences, multi-factor sign-in, email security and backups for Microsoft 365, so new staff are set up quickly and people who leave are removed cleanly.

  • Licences
  • MFA & email security
  • M365 backup

Backups we actually test.

Servers, PCs and Microsoft 365 data are backed up automatically and restores are tested, so if ransomware, theft or a hardware failure hits, there's a plan to get you back up.

  • Automated backups
  • Tested restores
  • Recovery plan

A roadmap instead of surprises.

Regular reviews cover hardware age, budget and what's coming next, so replacements and upgrades are planned ahead instead of rushed after something breaks.

  • Hardware lifecycle
  • IT budget
  • Quarterly reviews

What Our IT Clients Say

Managed IT Questions, Answered

What are managed IT services?

Managed IT services means outsourcing day-to-day IT to a provider for an agreed scope, usually for a monthly fee. The provider monitors, maintains and supports your technology proactively.

How much do managed IT services cost in Kitchener-Waterloo?

Managed device plans start from $74.99 per device per month. The final price depends on your number of users and devices, the services in scope and any onboarding work. Contact us for a quote based on your business.

Can you work alongside our internal IT person?

Yes. We can take on the whole IT function or support your in-house team with extra coverage and expertise.

What's the difference between managed IT and break-fix?

Break-fix means paying when something goes wrong. Managed IT focuses on preventing problems, with predictable costs.

Do you offer on-site support or only remote?

Both. Most issues are solved remotely, and our technicians visit offices across Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge for hardware, network and installation work.

How quickly do you respond to support requests?

We confirm new requests within one business day, and urgent issues like a server or network outage are prioritized. Response targets are set out in your managed IT agreement.

How does getting started work?

We start with a discovery call to document your systems, users and pain points, then send a clear scope and monthly quote. Once approved, we set up monitoring, security tools and documentation, and ongoing support begins.

What if we only need help with one area?

Not ready for a full managed plan? Start with Microsoft 365 support, PC replacement or a smooth switch from your current IT provider. We also offer broader IT support and infrastructure.
