Local information technology support for businesses across Fort Frances and the Rainy River District. One team, one number, everything covered — from day-to-day helpdesk to full managed IT infrastructure.
Monthly IT support for your team. We handle issues before they become problems — and fix them fast when they do.
Setup, licensing, user management, email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive — managed and monitored for you.
MFA enforcement, email filtering, phishing training, and encrypted backups. Protection built in, not bolted on.
New hire setup or staff departure handled cleanly — accounts, devices, permissions, and access, done right.
OS updates, security patches, and software deployment pushed to all devices — without interrupting your day.
Automated backups with tested recovery. Know exactly what you have and how fast you can get back up if something goes wrong.
Most IT companies servicing Northwestern Ontario are based hours away or operate entirely remotely. When something breaks on-site, you wait. We’re local — Fort Frances based — which means we can be there in person when it matters.
We work with every type of organization across the Rainy River District: small businesses, First Nations band offices, restaurants, nonprofits, healthcare providers, lodges, and construction companies. We’ve seen every kind of IT environment the district has to offer, and we know how to work within the realities of rural Northwestern Ontario — limited connectivity options, remote locations, and tight budgets.
Our managed IT clients get a predictable monthly cost, proactive monitoring, and a team that knows their setup. No surprise invoices. No explaining your systems from scratch every time you call. Need new machines sourced and configured too? See our business hardware & procurement page.
Managed IT is typically priced per device or per user per month. For a 5–10 person organization in Fort Frances, expect $500–$1,500 per month depending on scope. We provide a free initial assessment and quote before any commitment.
Our managed IT includes monitoring, helpdesk support, Microsoft 365 administration, security patching, user onboarding and offboarding, device management, backup management, and on-site response when needed.
Both. Remote support is used for most helpdesk issues. On-site visits are included when something needs hands-on attention — we’re local to Fort Frances, so there’s no travel delay.
Onboarding typically takes one to two weeks, depending on how many devices and users you have. We do an initial audit, deploy monitoring tools, and establish your baseline before going live.
Yes. We work with several First Nations organizations and band offices across the Rainy River District. We understand the funding, reporting, and operational realities of these organizations.
