Managed IT Services in Barrie

Managed IT for Barrie businesses, delivered remotely from our base in Guelph, roughly an hour and a half away: monitoring, help desk, security, backups, and Microsoft 365 for one flat monthly price per user. When you need someone on-site, ClayGen can usually be there within 1 to 2 hours, depending on location.

What it costs

Managed IT in Ontario typically runs $100 to $250 per user per month, depending on what is included. We price per user, not per device or per hour, with no per-incident charges. A 20-person team generally lands between $2,000 and $5,000 a month. Your exact rate is set after a free discovery call and confirmed in writing. Managed IT pricing in Ontario

How fast we respond

Average help desk response is under 15 minutes for most issues during business hours, and you reach a real person, not a ticket queue. Critical problems are flagged right away by 24/7 monitoring.

On-site in Barrie

We are based in Guelph, roughly an hour and a half from Barrie. Help desk, monitoring, patching, security, and Microsoft 365 work is delivered remotely, and most issues are fixed within minutes. When you need someone on-site for network installs, server hardware, office moves, or hands-on troubleshooting, we can usually be there within 1 to 2 hours, depending on location, because our team is based in Guelph.

Security by plan

Every plan includes patching and automated backups. Professional and Complete add endpoint detection and response and multi-factor authentication enforcement, the controls Canadian cyber insurers commonly ask for.

Managed IT for Barrie and Simcoe County

  • A Guelph team, not a Barrie storefront. ClayGen has one office, in Guelph. Barrie clients get the same help desk, monitoring, and security stack as every other client, and the same people answer the phone.

  • Backups come first for many Barrie businesses. Plenty of small businesses are not sure their data is copied anywhere safe, or have never seen a restore work. Every ClayGen plan includes automated backup and recovery, and we test restores rather than assume them.

  • Remote first, on-site when it matters. Most issues are fixed remotely within minutes. For hardware, cabling, or an office move, we can usually be on-site within 1 to 2 hours, depending on location.

  • More than IT support if you want it. ClayGen also builds CRM and custom software and offers practical AI consulting. These sit alongside managed IT, so one team can look after your systems, your data, and the tools built on them.

What's included

Every plan is flat-rate, includes the help desk, and is delivered through ClayGen Connect so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Plan names describe scope, not fixed prices.
