IT Support for your business in
St. Jacobs

Let’s paint a picture:
You’re ready to invoice a customer… and boom — your computer freezes.
The Wi-Fi cuts out.
Your team can’t print.
You try turning it off and on again. Twice.

Then you Google the issue… and somehow end up watching a YouTube video from 2013.

Sound familiar?

If your IT “strategy” involves duct tape, guesswork, or a cousin who’s “pretty good with tech,” it might be time to call in some pros.

Fort44 is your friendly, local managed IT provider near St. Jacobs.

We fix what’s broken, protect what matters, and actually answer the phone when you call.

Stop Stressing About Tech — We’ve Got It Covered

If you’ve ever sat on hold with a tech support agent who clearly doesn’t know where St. Jacobs is, you know the value of having help near you — someone local who can actually show up when things break, and better yet, help prevent them from breaking in the first place.

At Fort44, we’ve worked with shops, offices, ag businesses, manufacturers — real local businesses — who were tired of:

Constant IT headaches and downtime
Confusing invoices with mystery charges
Cyber threats they don’t understand
Tech “fixes” that just create more problems
Being passed around remote support like a bad Zoom connection

Whether you're working from the office, from home, or from a tractor cab, we offer reliable business IT support near St. Jacobs that just works — and keeps working.

Managed IT Services Built for Local Businesses

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. You won’t find pushy sales pitches or bloated packages here — just real IT solutions tailored to the way you work.

Here’s what we offer, all under one roof:

Strategic IT Planning (vCIO Services)

Technology should support your business goals — not just exist.

Our vCIO service gives you strategic guidance without hiring a full-time IT executive. We’ll help you budget, plan, and make smart decisions for the long haul.

Long-term IT planning
Lifecycle management for hardware/software
Vendor negotiation support
Roadmaps for scaling your tech as you grow

Managed IT Services

No more guessing. No more emergencies.

We keep your systems up to date, your devices monitored, and your tech running smoothly behind the scenes — so you can focus on your customers, not the spinning wheel of death on your laptop.

24/7 remote monitoring
Scheduled maintenance and updates
Unlimited helpdesk support
Clear monthly pricing — no surprise charges

Remote & Onsite Tech Support

Friendly support from real people
Fast response times
No IT jargon — just clear solutions

Scalable for teams of any size

Upgrading systems shouldn’t come with a week of chaos.

We’ll handle your migration cleanly, without lost emails, broken logins, or late-night panics.

After-hours cutovers to avoid downtime
Seamless user onboarding
Domain and DNS configuration
Legacy system cleanup

Backup & Disaster Recovery

If you can’t recover it, you didn’t really back it up.

We make sure your business can bounce back from anything — hardware failure, human error, ransomware, even spilled coffee on your laptop.

Daily local and cloud backups
Fast file or full-system restore
Disaster recovery plans
Regular testing to make sure it works

Network Monitoring & Optimization

Good networks aren't optional. They are essential.
