What is managed IT services?

Managed IT services means outsourcing the day-to-day running of your technology to a specialist provider for a flat monthly fee. Instead of calling someone after something breaks, we monitor your servers, laptops, network, and Microsoft 365 tenant around the clock, patch them, secure them, and fix issues — often before you notice. You get a full IT department's capability without hiring one.

What's included in managed IT services?

Our plans include 24/7 monitoring and alerting, unlimited remote help desk support, on-site visits across the GTA, patch and update management, endpoint and email security, Microsoft 365 administration, backup and disaster recovery, vendor management, and quarterly technology reviews with your account manager.

How much does managed IT services cost in Toronto?

Most GTA small and mid-sized businesses pay roughly $100 to $250 CAD per user per month for fully managed IT, depending on how many servers you run, your security and compliance needs, and how much on-site work you need. Pricing is flat-rate and predictable, so your monthly invoice does not spike when something goes wrong.

How is managed IT different from break-fix support?

Break-fix support bills you by the hour after something fails, which means your provider earns more when your technology is unreliable. Managed IT flips that: a flat fee means we are paid to keep things running, so prevention, patching, and monitoring are in everyone's interest.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. We work on month-to-month agreements. We would rather earn your business every month than lock you into a multi-year term.

How quickly do you respond to support requests?

Critical issues that stop your business are picked up first, and our help desk is staffed 24/7 by Canadian technicians. Standard requests are typically acknowledged the same business day, and we agree on written response targets with you before onboarding.

Which areas do you serve?

We support businesses across the Greater Toronto Area, including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering, and Newmarket. Remote support covers anywhere in Canada.

Can you work alongside our existing IT person?

Yes. Many clients keep an internal IT lead and use us as co-managed IT — we take on monitoring, security, backups, and after-hours coverage so your in-house person can focus on projects and the business.
