Managed IT services
Mac fleet management for businesses in Quebec
Most IT providers manage PCs and tolerate Macs. Apple specialists look after the Macs but not the rest of your IT. Here, both are handled at the same level, by the same team, under the same management.
Who it's for
For the company where leadership and marketing are on Macs while accounting is on Windows, and nobody really manages the Apple half. For the one that bought its Macs at the local store without knowing it changes everything. And for the one that just realized an employee left with a laptop it can neither wipe nor recover.
What an unmanaged Mac costs you on the day it matters
A Mac bought at retail and set up by its user can't be wiped remotely, can't be forcibly encrypted, and can't be taken back if the person leaves on bad terms. If the drive isn't encrypted, everything on it walks out with the device. And even when nothing goes wrong, nobody knows whether updates are being applied or what software is installed on it.
macOS 27: why we're not deploying it yet
macOS 27 shipped in September 2026 and drops Rosetta, the layer that ran software built for older Intel processors. The result: business applications that worked yesterday stop launching. On the fleets we manage, major upgrades are held back while we inventory each machine's applications, while security updates keep installing. That's exactly the kind of decision an unmanaged fleet can't make.
What we put in place
Areas served: Apple Business Manager so devices belong to the company and configure themselves on first boot, remote management through MDM, FileVault encryption with recovery keys held by the company, managed updates, applications deployed without the user needing admin rights, and access removed when someone leaves.
Windows machines go through the same management, with the same security rules. That's what lets us answer a simple question few companies can settle: how many devices do you have, and which ones are up to date?

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
$139 per user, per month, plus taxes. Mac management isn't a surcharge. It's part of the plan, same as Windows workstations, security and network.
We only have five or six Macs. Is it worth it?
Yes, and that's often the size where the risk is highest, because nobody is looking after them. Five unmanaged Macs are five possibly unencrypted drives leaving the office every evening.
Our Macs were bought at retail. Can they still be managed?
Yes, but not the same way. A device bought through a business channel enrolls itself into Apple Business Manager and belongs to the company. A Mac bought in a store has to be enrolled by hand, and in some cases reset to do it properly. We look at what you have before proposing anything, and for future purchases we show you how to go through the right channel.
If someone leaves with their laptop, can you wipe it remotely?
On a managed device, yes: we lock it, wipe it, and revoke their access at the same time. On an unmanaged device, no, and that's precisely the situation we're trying to avoid. When the drive is encrypted and the company holds the key, a lost laptop becomes a hardware problem instead of a data problem.
We have Macs and PCs. Do we need two providers?
No, and that's the point of this page. Having an Apple specialist on one side and an IT provider on the other means two contracts, two invoices, and two people pointing at each other when a Mac can't reach the file server.
Do you force updates?
Security updates, yes, because they close holes that are actively being exploited. Major macOS upgrades, no, not before checking that your applications follow. That's a decision we make with you, not a checkbox.
Where do we start?
With the inventory: how many devices, which are encrypted, which are up to date, which actually belong to the company. You keep that picture, whether or not you decide to work with us. The self-assessment below already gives you a first look, in twelve questions.
Ready for Mac in your business?
Twelve questions on what separates a Mac bought at the store from a business Mac, and what Microsoft Intune does to close the gap. If you already have Microsoft 365 Business Premium, most of the answers are already paid for.
