Give leadership a straight answer on next year's IT spend
When the owner or CFO asks what IT will cost next year, most IT managers can only guess. Warranties lapse without notice, licence counts drift, and security work keeps sliding behind the daily tickets.
Our IT consulting in Burlington turns that guess into a plan: a senior advisor reviews what you run, ranks what matters, and puts a cost and a date on each item.
- Every server, laptop and firewall listed with its age and replacement date
- A yearly IT budget you can defend line by line
- Microsoft 365 and software licences matched to the people who use them
- Weak security settings and old accounts found and ranked by risk
- Written security policies ready when a client or insurer asks
- A second opinion before you sign any big IT contract
- A technician on site anywhere in the GTA within the hour when work needs hands
Planning squeezed in after tickets vs an advisor whose job is planning
| One in-house IT manager | IT consulting with BALANCED+ | |
|---|---|---|
| Time for planning | Whatever is left after the tickets | Planning is the advisor's job |
| Work that needs someone on site | Waits for their schedule | A technician anywhere in the GTA within the hour |
| Microsoft licensing | Renewed as it was last year | Reviewed by a Microsoft Solutions Partner |
| What they have seen | A handful of employers | 150+ clients since 1994 |
| Proof for auditors | Built from scratch each time | Guided by a SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified team |
| Cost | A senior salary plus benefits | One agreed fee, no executive salary |
A long-range IT plan with a cost and a date on every item
The plan comes from a vCIO (virtual chief information officer): a senior advisor who does the planning part of an IT director’s job, part time. You get:
- An inventory: what you run, how old it is, and when its support ends
- A roadmap: what to replace or upgrade over the next few years, in priority order
- A budget: the cost of each step, so finance can plan for it
- Check-ins: regular reviews, so the plan changes when the business does

Microsoft licences matched to the people who use them
Licences tend to pile up: accounts kept for people who left, premium plans for staff who only read email. Hardware goes the other way, bought in a rush when something fails.
We match your Microsoft 365 and software licences to the people who actually use them, keep a calendar of renewals and warranty dates, and time hardware purchases to the roadmap instead of to the next breakdown.
Burlington IT consulting from a team that also runs IT every day
Advice is easier to trust when the people giving it also keep networks, servers and security running for a living. That is the team behind your advisor:
- Track record: in business since 1994, with 150+ clients
- Independent audits: SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified (audits of how we protect client systems and data)
- Partner status: Microsoft Solutions Partner, and Fortinet Advanced Partner since 2003
- Close by: Burlington is part of the GTA area we serve from our Mississauga head office, and a technician can be on site anywhere in the GTA within the hour

Straight answers about IT consulting in Burlington
Is IT consulting a one-off project or an ongoing service?
Either. Some businesses want a single review and a written plan. Most with 50+ staff keep an advisor on an ongoing basis, because a roadmap goes stale within a year if nobody updates it.
How much does IT consulting cost in Burlington?
It depends on the scope, from a one-time review to an ongoing monthly fee. You get the exact number after the free IT strategy session, before you agree to anything.
Our IT manager is good. What would a consultant add?
Time and a second pair of eyes. Your IT manager keeps the business running; we take the long-range planning and the security review off their plate. If they also want help with daily support, that is co-managed IT.
Can we trust an outside advisor with access to our systems?
Yes. We are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified: independent audits of how we protect client systems and data.
If something breaks, how quickly do you respond?
Within 15 minutes when a problem is critical, meaning it stops people working. If the fix needs hands at your Burlington office, a technician can be on site anywhere in the GTA within the hour.
Do you only work with businesses in Burlington?
No. Our head office is in Mississauga and we work with businesses across the GTA, including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville and Vaughan.
