Sound familiar?

Most small businesses don't need more IT.
They need IT that finally works.

"Everything runs slow."

Aging machines, flaky Wi‑Fi, and overloaded servers quietly tax every hour your team works. We tune, patch, and replace hardware on a schedule — not after it fails.

"I'm worried about cyberattacks."

Ransomware and phishing target small businesses precisely because their security is weak. We layer email filtering, endpoint protection, MFA, and backups so one bad click doesn't stop the company.

"We're growing faster than our IT."

New hires, new locations, new software — growing pains multiply every gap in your current setup. We build the infrastructure that scales with you.

"When it breaks, nobody to call."

Waiting days for a fix costs real money. Your support ticket reaches an actual technician — with remote fixes in minutes and onsite visits when they're needed.

Client words

What Windsor-Essex clients say

★★★★★

"They migrated all 14 of us to Microsoft 365 over one weekend and Monday morning just worked. Old emails, shared folders, everything intact. First IT project that finished ahead of schedule."

C. BennettOffice manager, professional services (10-25 staff)
★★★★★

"Our old server died on a Tuesday morning. They had us running on new hardware with everything restored before the day was out. The backup testing they do isn't for show."

R. PereiraOperations lead, manufacturing (~30 staff)
★★★★★

"Billing is exactly what they said it would be, every month. When our ISP had an outage, they stayed on the phone with them so we didn't have to. That alone is worth the fee."

M. LauzonOwner, retail business (5-10 staff)

FAQ

Questions we hear every week

What exactly does "managed IT services" mean?

You outsource your business technology to us for one fixed monthly fee. We monitor, maintain, secure, and support your computers, network, and cloud — acting as your IT department without the cost of hiring one in-house.

Is my company too small for managed services?

Not likely. Most of our clients are small businesses that can't justify a full-time IT hire but can't afford downtime either. If you have computers, email, or a network you depend on, managed IT is worth a look.

How does pricing work?

Managed clients pay one flat monthly rate based on the number of users and devices covered — support, monitoring, patching, and management are included. Project work (office moves, upgrades) is quoted upfront before any work begins.

Will you come onsite when needed?

Yes. We're local to Windsor-Essex. Most issues are fixed remotely within minutes, but hardware installs, cabling, network work, and hands-on problems get an onsite visit.

We already have "an IT guy." Can you work with them?

Often, yes — we can handle monitoring, security, and backups behind the scenes, or take over entirely. We're happy to co-exist during a transition so nothing falls through the cracks.

What happens when something breaks after hours?

Monitoring keeps watching your environment around the clock, and critical alerts reach us wherever we are. Managed clients also have emergency after-hours response available for situations that can't wait until morning.

Can you help us move to the cloud?

That's one of our most common projects — email, file storage, and line-of-business applications. We plan the migration to avoid downtime, move the data, and train your team on the other side.

Am I locked into a long-term contract?

Managed plans run month-to-month. We'd rather earn your business every month than hold it hostage with a contract.
