Barrie'S Managed IT Service Provider

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

Barrie's Managed IT Service Provider
How many times has your team submitted a ticket only to see the same problem again... and again... and again. . . for recurring issues like:
Windows updates causing lag, decreasing productivity during business hours.
Slow logins costing your staff time and production.
Rising costs every year despite stable licenses on your machines.
Repeated issues with printers and network connectivity
You shouldn’t have to be a “squeaky wheel” in order to get problems resolved in a timely fashion. And let’s face it, if your existing IT service provider can’t fix the “small things”, can you trust they’re taking care of the big items?

What Is the IT Managed Services Model?

The IT Managed Services Model is when you outsource IT management to a dedicated provider on a proactive basis; the keyword is “managed”. That’s because this model establishes an ongoing relationship that operates proactively, vs. reacting to issues after they happen and tackling them as one-offs.  It is the modern answer to tech complexity and […]

Why Your Company Needs More than Office 365 Security  

Most companies take it for granted that their data is going to be secure by default when they roll out Microsoft 365. Far from it, actually.  Office 365 does have built-in security when it comes to spam blocking and basic MFA (multi-factor authentication), but that is not enough security. Without having the right and multi-layered security setup, your business is still at risk of being hit by phishing, credential compromise, ransomware, and other attacks.  As Adam Bowles, ACT360 Director of Web Services, suggests to clients: "Office 365 is a starting point, but not a full security solution. True protection is about layering the appropriate tools, such as endpoint detection, monitoring, […]

How Small Businesses Can Maximize OneDrive and Microsoft Teams 

Think OneDrive is just cloud storage? Or that Teams is just for video calls? Think again. Small businesses often use Microsoft 365 tools at surface level, missing out on powerful features that can transform collaboration, reduce IT costs, and improve security.  “We often see small businesses using Teams and OneDrive like ‘email 2.0’—when they’re actually powerful […]

Why Cybersecurity Fails So Often: It’s Not Just the Tech — It’s the People

When most companies consider cybersecurity, they envision firewalls, anti-virus software, and password managers. But the greatest threat to your online security may be at a desk — or perhaps reading this blog. Yes… people.  The truth is that the majority of cyberattacks aren't the result of hackers breaking into sophisticated systems. They happen because someone clicked on a suspicious link, used a bad password, or got phished. That's why even the most sophisticated security software can't protect your business without a good human firewall. Let's break down how human error is fueling cyber threats — and what Ontario businesses like yours […]
