Tired of IT Support That Doesn't Support You?
Most businesses settle for IT support that is slow, impersonal, and reactive. Sound familiar?
-
01
Slow Response Times You submit a ticket and wait hours, sometimes days, for someone to look at it. Meanwhile, your team sits idle and productivity tanks.
-
02
Rotating Technicians Every time you call, you explain your setup to a different person who has never seen your environment. No continuity, no context, no accountability.
-
03
Offshore Call Centers Your support calls are routed to someone reading from a script who cannot solve anything beyond a password reset. Complex issues get endlessly escalated.
-
04
Break-Fix Billing Surprises Every call, every visit, every escalation comes with a separate invoice. You never know what IT will cost this month, and the incentive is to fix symptoms, not root causes.
-
05
No Proactive Maintenance Your IT provider only shows up when something is already broken. No monitoring, no patching, no prevention, just expensive firefighting after the damage is done.
-
06
No Strategic Guidance You get ticket resolution but zero strategic input. No one is helping you plan technology investments, evaluate vendors, or align IT with your business goals.
We have solved every one of these problems for hundreds of businesses across Canada. Here is how we do IT support differently.
IT Support That Works the Way You Do
IT support problems cost more than the time they waste. When employees wait 45 minutes to get a password reset or spend an afternoon troubleshooting a VPN issue, productivity stalls, frustration builds, and confidence in IT erodes. The root cause is usually the same:
- an under-resourced support team
- a ticket queue with no clear SLA
- technicians who do not know your systems
At BALANCED+, we provide IT support backed by a 47-person team, a contractual 15-minute response SLA, and engineers who document your environment thoroughly so every call gets resolved by someone who already understands the context. No call centers, no scripts, no surprise escalations to a vendor you have never spoken to.
Our Tier 1 first-call resolution rate averages over 80%. For businesses without an internal IT team, we are your full IT department. For businesses that have one, we extend their capacity so they can focus on strategic work instead of fielding password resets.
Outsourced IT Support That Scales With You
For businesses that do not have an internal IT department, or have outgrown what one person can handle, outsourced IT support gives you a full team without the hiring overhead. BALANCED+ acts as your IT department: we manage your helpdesk, monitor your infrastructure, maintain your security stack, and handle vendor coordination. You get a dedicated account manager who knows your environment, a support team that recognizes your employees by name, and SLAs that hold us accountable. It is the kind of managed IT support growing businesses need to compete without building a 10-person team from scratch.
Remote & On-Site Support Across Canada
We operate a tiered support model designed for speed without sacrificing expertise. Tier 1 handles everyday issues remotely: password resets, email configuration, printer problems, VPN connectivity, software installations. Most are resolved in under 15 minutes. Tier 2 covers more complex problems: Active Directory issues, network connectivity, server performance, backup failures, and escalated hardware diagnostics. Tier 3 is our senior engineering team for infrastructure-level incidents: firewall configuration, cloud migration issues, security incidents, and disaster recovery. When remote troubleshooting is not enough, we dispatch on-site technicians the same day across our service areas nationwide.
Co-Managed IT Support
If you already have an internal IT person or small team, co-managed IT support lets you extend their capabilities without replacing them. We handle the overflow, after-hours support, vacation coverage, complex escalations, security monitoring, and infrastructure projects your team does not have bandwidth for. Your IT staff keeps ownership of day-to-day operations while our team fills the gaps. It is a practical model for growing companies that have some IT capacity but need deeper bench strength.
Built for Canadian Industries
IT support is not one-size-fits-all. A manufacturing plant running legacy ERP on the shop floor has different needs than a fintech firm with compliance requirements. We support businesses across Canada’s core industries: manufacturing and automotive companies that depend on uptime, financial services firms that need airtight security, logistics operations where network outages stop trucks, and professional services firms scaling on cloud platforms. Our team understands these environments because we have supported them since 1994.
What's Included in IT Support
Help Desk & Remote Support
Unlimited remote support for your entire team. Desktop, laptop, email, VPN, printer, and software issues resolved by Tier 1 and Tier 2 technicians, most within 15 minutes. Available by phone at (416) 621-6611, email, or client portal.
On-Site Support & Dispatch
Same-day on-site technician dispatch across Canada for issues that cannot be resolved remotely. Hardware replacements, network troubleshooting, server maintenance, and infrastructure work handled by senior engineers at your location.
Proactive Monitoring & Maintenance
24/7 monitoring of your servers, network, endpoints, and cloud services. Automated alerting catches issues before they cause downtime. Regular patching, updates, and health checks keep your environment running at peak performance.
We switched to BALANCED+ after years of frustration with slow response times and technicians who never remembered our setup. The difference was immediate, 15-minute response, the same team every time, and problems that actually stay fixed.
How IT Support Works
Submit a Request
Call 416.621.6611, email our support inbox, or log into your client portal. Once you submit a request for support, BP will triage and assign an appropriate severity and begin the troubleshooting process.
Technician Responds
A qualified technician, not a bot, begins to work on your ticket to meet the expected SLA resolution time. They already know your environment, your systems, and your team.
Issue Resolved
Most issues are resolved remotely in the first session. If on-site support is needed, a technician is dispatched same-day. Every resolution is documented in your client portal.
Root Cause Addressed
We do not just fix symptoms. After resolution, we investigate the root cause and implement preventive measures so the same issue does not recur. That is the difference between support and managed support.
Why Choose BALANCED+ for IT Support
We combine speed, expertise, and accountability in a way most IT support providers cannot match.
15-Minute Response SLA
Not an average. Not a target. A contractual SLA. Severity 1 issues get a live technician within 15 minutes or we credit your account. Our actual average is 12 minutes.
Dedicated Team
You get assigned technicians who learn your environment, your people, and your preferences. When you call, they already know your setup. No re-explaining your network every time.
20+ Years Experience
Every ticket gets root cause analysis. If the same printer jams every Tuesday, we don't just unjam it, we figure out why and fix it permanently. Your ticket volume goes down over time.
Nationwide Reach
Our technicians provide coverage across Canada with same-day on-site dispatch available in major metropolitan areas. Remote support is available nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
It means a qualified technician will start working on your SEV1 ticket within 15 minutes of the ticket being opened, and provide regular updates throughout the troubleshooting steps.

Absolutely. Our co-managed IT model is designed exactly for this. We handle overflow, after-hours coverage, complex escalations, security, and infrastructure projects while your internal staff maintains day-to-day ownership. It gives you enterprise depth without additional hiring.

Our experience across these industries means we understand the compliance requirements, legacy systems, and operational priorities that shape how IT support needs to work in your environment.
