- Are you suffering from slow or incapable IT support?
- Are you outgrowing your existing solutions?
- Are your budgets being weighed down by your current IT provider?
- Are you losing time trying to figure out how to DIY everything?
- Are you facing a new challenge and need guidance completing it?
When your team partners with ACT360, you get direct access to people who’ve solved this exact problem before, for businesses across Ontario.
The result is measurable: less time lost to IT problems, systems your team can actually depend on, and a technology partner focused on your business goals, not just your ticket queue.
Here’s what changes when ACT360 handles your IT:
If you try to do IT projects and new implementations yourself, you will have to discover and face all the problems yourself without any prior experience that would equip you to successfully and efficiently tackle them. That’s why, when you hire ACT360, you benefit from years of accumulated experience across a wide variety of clients and industries, so that your tech issues are resolved quickly and at low cost. We have done it before, learned from it, and are ready to implement it for you. This takes the pressure off of your company and makes us a better solution than having in-house tech staff.
Having multiple staff members focused on IT puts you in the position of covering multiple salaries to meet the needs of your company as it grows. When you have us help, you don’t have to pay anywhere near as much and get better results. You can take that extra money and invest it in other company areas that need attention.
Your management team has enough to worry about. When we handle the IT side of your company, it pulls it almost entirely off the plate of your existing staff. You can trust that we’ll stay in front of your needs and keep things up and running for you. If the rare emergency does pop up, we’ll be there and solve it for you at the same speed you’d expect from someone on your staff.
Weird things can happen, but we do everything we can to stay in front of things that would knock your employees offline during work hours. This keeps the sales flowing and lets your people do their best work at the most important times. And when you sign up with one of our service plans, you don’t have to work from an hourly billing perspective anymore. We offer flat rate managed IT services, which aligns our interests, because we make money when you are not broken!
Any service plan clients receive discounts on services outside of their plan. This lets you worry less. In the rare case of an emergency, you’ll pay less by having us as part of your team.
IT Services Questions Ontario Businesses Ask Us
ACT360 provides remote monitoring, data protection, cloud solutions, cabling, and IT consulting under one contract. That way your team can focus on running the business instead of managing vendors.
IT support is generally reactive, with a team that fixes things after they break. Managed IT, the way ACT360 delivers it, proactively monitors your systems to avoid downtime and runs on flat-rate pricing. That aligns our interests with yours, because we do best when your systems aren’t broken.
Our team is based in Barrie, and we serve growing businesses across Central and Southern Ontario, including Simcoe County and the GTA. You get local experts who understand what growing companies actually need.
A full-time IT manager in Ontario costs roughly $80,000 to $120,000 CAD a year before benefits and overhead, and ACT360 Managed IT typically costs a fraction of that. Plans run about $80 to $150 CAD per user per month for full service, or $75 to $120 remote-only, with Microsoft licensing billed separately. For a 30-seat company, that works out to roughly $41,000 CAD a year.
Outsourcing removes the single point of failure that comes with one in-house hire. An internal IT person usually means a salary plus training, overhead, and management, and coverage disappears when they’re on vacation or leave. With ACT360 you get a professional team with years of experience across many clients and industries, so problems get solved by people who’ve seen them before. You get enterprise-level expertise without putting a squeeze on your budget.
Response time depends on severity and your plan, and we’d rather confirm a real number during your assessment than quote a generic figure. Full service desk coverage, direct support channels, and proactive monitoring mean many problems are caught before you notice them, and when an emergency does happen, we work like a team in your office.
Managed IT onboarding typically runs 60 to 90 days, rolled out in phases so critical systems move first and get validated before the rest. Project work like a cloud migration gets its own timeline after the assessment. The first step is a free IT Readiness Assessment, which takes 30 minutes and carries no obligation.
The ACT360 IT Services Process
Every ACT360 engagement runs on ACTION, our named process for understanding your business before we recommend anything. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Assess & Comprehend: We Start With Your Business, Not a Quote
Our first conversation is a real look at what’s actually happening in your business and where you’re headed, not a sales pitch. That’s the first two steps of ACTION, and it’s how we make sure any recommendation actually fits before we make one.
Tailor: A Plan Built From What We Learned, Not a Template
Your project manager builds a plan from that first conversation, with clear reasoning and a fair price. No high-pressure tactics. Once you approve it, we move to Implement.
Implement, Optimize, Nurture: We Don’t Disappear After Launch
We roll out the plan in phases, on the timeline we agreed to, with regular updates from your project manager. Once it’s live, quarterly reviews keep it optimized as your business changes, the same ACTION methodology behind every ACT360 engagement.
