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 Guelph
Our office is in Guelph. 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.
Local IT support for Guelph businesses
Our office is in Guelph. ClayGen is a Guelph company, not a remote provider with a local phone number. Your support comes from a team based in the same city as your business.
Remote first, on-site when it matters. Most issues are fixed within minutes without a visit. When hands-on help is needed, we can usually be there within 1 to 2 hours, depending on location.
Built for the way Guelph works. Guelph's economy mixes agri-food and life sciences, advanced manufacturing, healthcare and dental practices, professional services, and a large non-profit sector. Each has different IT stakes, and we set up support around them rather than around a one-size template.
The same flat pricing as the rest of Ontario. Plans start from $100/user/month with no per-incident charges, and your exact rate is confirmed in writing after a free IT assessment.
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.
