We are different. We are passionate, innovative and determined. We deliver imaginative IT solutions through teamwork, collaboration and partnerships with you, our customers.
Security
We’ve got you covered with a complete suite of proactive services including IT infrastructure management, active monitoring, server and firewall administration, and proactive maintenance. Patches are anything but painful, and you’re always kept in the know of any adjustments to the software you use.
Compliance
From the initial procurement stage through to rollout, maintaining full regulatory and vendor compliance is essential. So too is having a solution that can flex and adapt to company growth. Our managed IT services can help you identify and address any processes that need refining, no matter what stage you’re at in your business journey.
Accessible
With Third Octet’s managed IT services, we can focus core efficiencies on location-based parameters, meaning it’s easier than ever to optimize for the needs of remote workers. The same applies to those travelling abroad for company purposes – getting ahold of that essential report or presentation is now a stress-free experience.
Support
With our breadth of experience across multiple technical disciplines – we’re capable of covering all the angles so you don’t have to. We’re more than just a managed service provider; we’re your dedicated infrastructure auditors and risk assessors.
Why choose Managed Services with Third Octet?

What if I only need a few key services?
Don’t worry. Our solutions have been designed to support the vast majority of small and medium-sized businesses, and are subscribed to as a Suite, or as individual offerings, dependent on your needs. What’s more, as the managers and auditors of your infrastructure, we can make well-informed recommendations on what tweaks and refinements will help your team perform more efficiently. Each client situation is treated as unique by our technicians and support staff – that way, we make thoughtful and personalized refinements that benefit you.
Do we offer procurement and managed services?
Yes, we offer procurement and managed services to all customers. We provide procurement of most goods and have a curated catalogue specific to each Customer, which includes what they recommend and require. We also offer managed services, which are delivered through our proven process and are charged based on various factors such as onboarding fee, base monthly fee, per user fee, and add-ons.
Do you offer disaster recovery solutions as part of managed IT?
Absolutely. To us, managed IT means managed infrastructure, and that includes everything from security patches and performance updates to reducing failover via dependable backups. With active monitoring and systemwide maintenance, none of your data slips through the cracks, and your emergency recovery strategy will be updated based on any changes we need to make elsewhere.
Why is location-based management so important?
There are two key reasons: security and accessibility, which actually go hand in hand. While we need to ensure your mobile and onsite teams can maintain productivity, communications and efficiency standards without any digital roadblocks, we also need to have strong enough barriers to cyber threats. Focusing primarily on the onsite elements of your IT infrastructure leaves businesses open to weak points in their security processes. Our approach is to cover every angle so you don’t have to, keeping everyone safe and capable of working as a team, even if they’re not in the same room.
What services do we not offer?
We believe our services are holistic and applicable to most SMBs in today’s Canadian landscape and stick with the packages we’ve curated. However, we are flexible to an extent, and look to develop lasting and mutually beneficial business relationships. With that said, while our packages tend to be our recommended approach, we are accommodating to the needs of the business and will work with you to understand your business objectives and mirror to technology strategy.
