Managed IT Services in Hamilton

Managed IT for Hamilton businesses, delivered remotely from our base in Guelph, about an hour away: monitoring, help desk, security, backups, and Microsoft 365 for one flat monthly price per user, with on-site visits by appointment when hands-on help is needed.

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 Hamilton

We are based in Guelph, about an hour from Hamilton. Help desk, monitoring, patching, security, and Microsoft 365 work is delivered remotely, and most issues are fixed within minutes. For network installs, server hardware, office moves, or hands-on troubleshooting, we schedule an on-site visit by appointment.

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.
