Managed IT Services in Cambridge

Managed IT for Cambridge manufacturers, distributors, and professional offices: monitoring, help desk, security, backups, and Microsoft 365 for one flat monthly price per user, with same-day on-site support from our base in neighbouring Guelph.

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.

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 Cambridge

We are based in Guelph, right next to Cambridge, and support businesses across Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, and the wider Region of Waterloo. Most issues are fixed remotely within minutes; for server hardware, network cabling on a plant floor, multi-site work, or a new location, a technician can be on-site the same day.

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.

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.
