Managed IT Services

IT that just works — proactively, not reactively.

When IT breaks, your business stops. QTSI runs your technology as a managed service: monitoring around the clock, patching before things fail, and a responsive helpdesk your people actually like — so leadership can stop firefighting and focus on growth.

Managed IT services — QTSI
What it is

Managed IT means QTSI owns the day-to-day health of your technology — monitoring, maintenance, support, and security hygiene — under one predictable monthly agreement.

We can be your entire IT department or extend the team you already have. Either way, you trade surprise outages and unpredictable bills for documented processes, measured response times, and a partner accountable for keeping you running. Every endpoint patched, every backup tested, every ticket tracked.

  • Proactive, not reactive. We catch and fix issues before your team ever notices.
  • Security built in. Patching, endpoint protection, and backups are part of the service, not extras.
  • One predictable bill. Flat monthly pricing that scales cleanly as you grow.

Challenges we solve

The hidden cost of "IT we deal with when it breaks."

Reactive IT looks cheaper until you count the downtime, the security gaps, and the productivity lost to slow support.

Costly downtime

An outage that idles your whole team is far more expensive than the prevention that would have avoided it.

Proactive monitoring & prevention

Slow, unpredictable support

Tickets vanish into a queue with no SLA, and staff lose hours waiting on basic fixes.

Responsive, SLA-backed helpdesk

Unpatched, exposed systems

Missed updates and stale backups are the open doors attackers walk through — quietly, until it's too late.

Continuous patching & tested backups
Key capabilities

FAQ

Common questions about managed IT

What does managed IT cover day to day?

QTSI's managed IT covers the full operational surface of your technology: 24/7 monitoring and alerting, SLA-backed helpdesk (phone, email, and chat), recurring patch and update management across operating systems and applications, endpoint and email security, tested backups with defined recovery targets, and full device lifecycle from procurement through secure disposal. One accountable partner for everything.

Can QTSI work alongside our existing in-house IT staff?

Yes. We frequently operate as an extension of an existing internal team — handling tier-1 and tier-2 helpdesk while your staff focuses on projects and strategic work, or covering after-hours and overflow. We document everything, align to your processes, and stay in the background when your team has it covered.

How quickly do you respond to issues, and what are your SLAs?

SLAs are defined in writing as part of every engagement. Critical issues (systems down, complete outage) are responded to immediately and escalated 24/7. High-priority issues receive a response within one hour. Standard requests are addressed within four business hours. We provide monthly SLA reporting so you always know exactly how we're performing.

How long does the onboarding process take?

For most organizations, the transition takes two to four weeks. We start with a discovery audit — documenting devices, accounts, vendors, and your biggest pain points — then deploy monitoring and security agents and take over helpdesk support. The process is designed to be zero-drama: your team keeps working while we take the reins in the background.

What does it cost — per user, per device, or flat rate?

We offer flat-rate monthly pricing that scales cleanly with your headcount or device count. The goal is a predictable invoice you can budget around — no emergency rates, no per-incident billing surprises, and no extra charges for work that falls inside the agreed scope. We'll propose the right structure for your environment after the initial assessment.

What clients say

Results from organizations like yours

Edmonton and Alberta organizations that stopped firefighting IT and got back to growing.

Before QTSI took over our IT, we were firefighting daily. We're 40 employees in the energy services sector and unplanned downtime was costing us real money. Fourteen months in, I genuinely don't think about IT anymore. That's exactly what I hired them for.

The onboarding took three weeks and was smoother than any IT transition I've been part of. They documented everything our previous provider never wrote down. Our monthly invoice is predictable, and helpdesk tickets get resolved the same day. It's what managed IT should feel like.
