What's quietly costing you

💸

Overpaying Microsoft

Most companies pay retail M365 rates. CSP licensing typically saves around 10% — money you're leaving on the table every month.

📋

Contracts auto-renewing

Telus, Shaw, ERP vendors, SaaS tools — contracts renewing at bad rates with nobody reviewing them. One missed renewal costs more than a year of IT guidance.

🔓

Security gaps you don't know about

Default M365 settings aren't secure settings. Most businesses don't know what they're missing — or which vendors to trust to fix it.

🏃

One person can't do it all

Your IT person is great at keeping things running day to day. But vendor negotiations, complex projects, security decisions, and strategic planning are a full-time job on their own.

🏖️

IT coverage gaps on vacation

When your one IT person is away, who's watching things? Most businesses have no answer to that question.

🤷

Owners are kept in the dark

Most owners and managers don't get clear IT updates — just reassurances. You shouldn't need a computer science degree to understand your IT risks and what they'll cost you if ignored.

Everything your IT needs,
nothing it doesn't.

A flat monthly engagement covers everything below. No surprise invoices, no hourly billing, no scope creep.

Microsoft 365

Licensing & Optimization

CSP licensing saves you around 10% off retail Microsoft pricing. We review your M365 setup, identify gaps, and guide you to the right solutions and vendors — so your environment is configured properly from the start.

Vendor Management

Contracts & Renewals

We track every IT contract — Telus, Shaw, ERP systems, SaaS subscriptions. Nothing auto-renews without a review. We negotiate on your behalf and make sure you're not paying more than you should for anything.

Security Guidance

Security & Backup Advisory

We assess your security posture and help you choose the right vendors for EDR, backup, and spam filtering — based on your size, budget, and risk. Unbiased advice, no products to sell.

Leadership Advisory

Owner & Management Briefings

We meet directly with owners and senior management on a regular basis — in plain English. No IT jargon. We explain your current IT risks, what they mean for your business, and give clear guidance on how to address them so you can make confident, informed decisions.

Quarterly IT roadmap review presented to ownership in plain English. What's coming, what it costs, and why it matters — so technology decisions are proactive, not reactive.

No IT speak. Ever.

We meet regularly with owners and senior management — not just your IT team. You'll always know your IT risks, what they mean for your business, and exactly what to do about them. No acronyms, no jargon, no making you feel like you should have asked a different question.

Senior IT experience.
Without the overhead.

Most growing businesses have one IT person doing their best — but there's a ceiling to what one person can handle alone. IT Light backstops your team, manages the complex stuff they can't tackle, and gives ownership the senior IT voice they've never had.

01

We backstop your IT — whoever that is

One IT person, an MSP, or no IT at all — we slot in above the day-to-day, handle what's beyond their scope, and make sure ownership always has a senior voice to turn to.

02

You always deal directly with us

No account managers. No rotating helpdesk staff. The same experienced person, every week, who knows your business.

03

Flat monthly fee — no surprises

Everything is included in the engagement. You know exactly what you're paying and exactly what you're getting.

04

The savings often cover the cost

CSP licensing savings, caught contract renewals, and eliminated overpayments frequently offset a meaningful portion of the monthly engagement.
