55 reviews | Winnipeg’s #1 Rated IT & Cybersecurity Company
You didn’t start your business to deal with IT problems. Sytex manages IT for businesses across Winnipeg and Manitoba, with one team for support, security, cloud and backups. Our published 3–5 minute average refers to an initial response, not a guaranteed repair time.
“We’re probably not as protected as we should be.” They’re usually right. Here’s what we see every week.
“We have a guy for that”: a friend, a nephew, someone’s cousin or one man show.
When one person handles all your IT, availability and specialist knowledge can become a bottleneck. Agree who covers urgent requests, absences and unfamiliar problems.
“We’re too small to be targeted. It’s never happened to us.”
This is the most common misconception we hear. Small businesses are targeted specifically because they’re assumed to have no protection.
You’re paying for IT support but only ever getting reactive help
Ongoing IT care should include monitoring, maintenance and planning, as well as help when something breaks. Ask what your current agreement covers.
Nobody’s trained your staff on the basics. Everyone knows it.
Help staff recognise suspicious messages, verify payment changes and report concerns. Practical training supports your technical security controls.
The free domain audit reviews your domain, email setup and access, with a plain-English report and no obligation.
Helpdesk, security, cloud, backup, networks and phones: coordinated by one team for businesses across Winnipeg and Manitoba. Your agreement confirms the systems and services covered.
One flat-rate managed IT package with helpdesk support and 24/7 monitoring. Initial response and resolution are different milestones; onsite visits are arranged for your location.
Ransomware protection, endpoint security, and 24/7 MDR & SOC. Every client gets MFA enforced, advanced email filtering, and a PIPEDA-aligned security baseline.
Microsoft 365 migration, Teams, SharePoint and ongoing administration for business accounts. Confirm the licence arrangements and covered systems in your managed IT proposal.
Business backup and recovery planning as part of ongoing managed IT. Agree covered data, retention, restore testing and recovery priorities before an interruption.
Hardware installation, workstation setup and hands-on troubleshooting for business accounts. Confirm onsite availability and urgent-request arrangements for your location.
24/7 monitoring and alerting for covered business systems. Monitoring helps identify issues for investigation; it cannot prevent every outage.
Secure remote access via VPN and zero-trust for Winnipeg teams. BYOD management enforces encryption, screen lock, and remote wipe without MDM complexity.
Modern business phone replacing legacy hardware for Winnipeg offices. Direct-dial, auto-attendant, call recording, and voicemail-to-email under the same flat-rate IT agreement.
SharePoint intranets, Teams governance, and Microsoft 365 optimization for Winnipeg businesses. Built for how your business actually works, not generic Microsoft templates.
Review your current setup, agree the scope and coordinate the handover. The timetable depends on access, existing systems and supplier dependencies.
Review your IT environment, identify priorities and agree the assessment scope and timetable with you.
Coordinate access and the handover before replacing existing services. Monitor covered systems and follow up on alerts.
Our published average is 3–5 minutes for an initial response. Resolution depends on the issue; confirm support hours and urgent-request arrangements in your agreement.
One managed IT package for similarly sized businesses at the same price. There is limited flexibility when clients pay Microsoft 365 or other licences directly.
Sytex remains independently owned and operated. Same local team, personally accountable to every Winnipeg and Manitoba client.
When your ISP blames your router and your vendor blames the ISP, we stay on the call until it’s resolved. Not our technical scope? Still our problem.
Locally owned IT support with ongoing client relationships across Winnipeg and Manitoba. Discuss your team’s needs and the systems you want Sytex to manage.
24/7 monitoring helps identify issues in covered systems so they can be investigated. Maintenance and planning support reliability, but no service prevents every interruption.
A convincing payment-change email can put business funds at risk.
Protect business accounts with multifactor authentication and appropriate access controls. Give staff a separate, trusted way to verify payment instructions and a clear route for reporting suspicious messages. No single control guarantees protection.
Ask: Who approves payment changes, and how are they verified outside the original email?
A phone outage can involve the internet provider, phone service and office equipment.
Agree who coordinates troubleshooting when several suppliers are involved. Record account access, supplier contacts and alternative communication arrangements so the business knows what to do during an interruption.
Ask: Who owns the support request until the affected suppliers have agreed the next step?
Your team stops losing hours to IT problems
Issues flagged for investigation and follow-up.
Layered protection to help reduce business security risks.
Business email, shared files, user access and Microsoft 365 licences.
Plan how to restore covered data and systems after an interruption.
ISP blaming your router? We own that call.
Reports and planning for your changing business IT needs.
Strong, unique passwords for every login, managed for you.
Help reduce phishing and impersonation risks.
Edit, sign, and send PDFs without buying extra software.
Help arrives fast, at your desk or remotely.
Serving Winnipeg, Brandon, Winkler and other Manitoba cities & towns.
