What's included

Twelve services, three layers.

Core operations keep the lights on. Advanced operations keep you secure and resilient. Strategic advisory keeps you ahead.

Core Operations

Foundation

Help Desk & User Support

Canadian engineers answering tickets, calls, and chat. SLA-backed response across four priority tiers.

Endpoint Management

Intune, JAMF, and GPO-driven device lifecycle. Patched, hardened, and inventoried from day one.

Network & Infrastructure

Firewall, switching, WiFi, and VPN operations. Fortinet, SonicWall, Cisco Meraki, or your stack.

24/7 Monitoring & Alerting

Continuous telemetry across endpoints, network, and servers. Problems detected before users notice.

Patch & Update Management

Structured patch windows, tested first in staging, rolled to production with rollback playbooks.

Advanced Operations

Resilience

Identity & Access Management

Entra ID, Okta, or hybrid. SSO, MFA, conditional access, and least-privilege by design.

User Lifecycle

Onboarding, offboarding, and role changes executed same-day. No stale accounts, no forgotten access.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Veeam, Backblaze, and cloud-native backup. RPO/RTO commitments in writing. Restoration drills quarterly.

Cloud Operations

Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and GCP environments managed by engineers who actually hold the certs.

Strategic Advisory

Value-add

Virtual CIO (vCIO)

A senior technology leader in your executive conversations without the full-time hire.

IT Roadmap & Budgeting

Quarterly business reviews, 3-year technology roadmaps, and board-ready capital planning.

Procurement & Licence Management

Microsoft, Adobe, security vendor, and hardware procurement — with partner-tier pricing passed through.

Managed IT is the foundation. Security builds on top.

When IT operations, security, and compliance share one team and one contract, incidents don’t fall between the seams. Your endpoint tooling, your SOC, and your privacy workflow talk to each other — because they’re ours.

We work with the vendors your business already runs on
Response SLAs

Commitments, not “best effort.”

Every ticket gets classified into a priority tier. Every tier has a first-response SLA in writing.

  • P1
    Critical — service down Business-critical outage. First response <15 minutes, 24/7.
  • P2
    High — severely degraded Major feature unavailable for one user or group. First response <1 hour.
  • P3
    Medium — workaround exists Single user affected with a viable workaround. First response <4 business hours.
  • P4
    Low — request or minor issue Access requests, feature requests, non-urgent questions. Next business day.

SLAs are defined in your Master Service Agreement and measured monthly. You get a report at every quarterly business review — first response, time to resolution, and ticket volume by category.

Miss an SLA? We credit. No theatrics.

How we engage

Three models. You pick the fit.

Whether you want us to run IT end-to-end, or back up an internal team, or tackle a single project — there’s a path that matches where you are.

Model A

Fully-Managed IT

We are your IT department. No internal hire required.

  • Complete ownership of IT operations
  • 24/7 help desk and monitoring
  • Strategic roadmap and vCIO
  • Vendor and licence management
  • Monthly flat-rate pricing
Best for: 25 to 250 staff without an internal IT team or CIO.
Model C

Project-Based

Fixed scope, fixed deliverable, fixed price.

  • Cloud migrations (M365, Azure, AWS)
  • Network refreshes and hardening
  • Identity and SSO implementations
  • Backup and DR programs
  • Statement of Work with milestones
Best for: teams that run day-to-day IT themselves but need execution on a specific program.

Stop running IT the hard way. Let's figure out the right fit.

A 15-minute call with a senior engineer — not a sales rep. We'll look at where you are, sketch what a fit would look like, and tell you honestly if we're the right answer.
