Remove IT Disruptions from Your business

Stop being your IT department. Slow computers, or “mystery” tech issues, are not the issues you the owners or upper management should be solving.

We step in as your IT department, proactively correcting issues, and chasing down the "mystery" tech issues to resolve them, so they can never bother you again. Making disruptions a thing of the past.

What other business owners are saying

Rod Crich

Sepoy Trade Solutions
Owner

When we began the process of merging Sepoy Wiring and Cliff’s Plumbing and Heating into one unified company—Sepoy Trade Solutions—we knew we were taking on a major transition. At the same time, we were also preparing to move into our newly constructed office and shop space. It was a big step forward for our business, and we needed reliable IT support to make it all come together smoothly.

That’s where Fort44 stepped in. They helped us migrate our email and essential software with minimal disruption, ensuring our team could stay connected and productive throughout the transition. They also played a key role in setting up our new office, supplying and configuring new hardware and making sure everything was up and running from day one.

Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made a complex process feel seamless. Even after the initial setup, they’ve continued to provide us with dependable ongoing support, helping us maintain a stable and secure IT environment as we grow.

We’re grateful to have them as a trusted partner during such a critical time in our company’s evolution—and beyond.

Excellent Team! Very responsive to our needs and very proactive in preventing issues. I would confidently recommend them to anyone. They spent time with us to understand our systems and how to best use technology to service our needs. Fort44 found some obvious issues right away that our previous provider had not identified. They have been a game changer.

We are a large team, multisite/multi-species veterinary clinic that rely heavily on technology to function cohesively and efficiently. Since switching to Fort44 we have had very minimal disruptions as compared to the previous IT provider and any issues that have arisen have been dealt with timely and solutions to prevent further issues have been implemented. Our IT support inquiries are near zero now!

So... how does it work..?

2. We Build a Plan That Fits

Based on what we learn, we’ll put together a simple plan that’s tailored to your team — fixing the urgent stuff, preventing future problems, and making sure everything runs smoothly.

3. We Become Your IT Team

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the burning questions in your mind.

Where is Fort44 located?

We’re proudly based in Teeswater, Ontario—also the hometown of our founder. Fun fact: the “44” in our name comes from the 44th parallel, which runs right through the middle of town. Most of our techs are local, living within 15 minutes, so we’re never far when you need us.

Am I too far away to get support?

If you're within a two-hour drive, you're in our usual service zone. If you're farther than that, we can still offer support—onsite may be limited, but remote help is always just a call or click away.

Can you fix my [insert frustrating tech problem here]?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: absolutely yes. We support everything from hardware and software to email, phones, employee onboarding & offboarding, new networks, and disaster recovery. If it touches your business tech, we’re on it.

Is my business the right fit for Fort44?

If you’re a small to mid-sized business where technology plays a key role, then yes! We support companies that rely on tools like point-of-sale systems, retail management software, QuickBooks, Sage, EBMS, or agency platforms. Basically, if tech is part of your daily workflow, we’re built to support you.

100+ Clients are No Longer Winging It

Winging it with IT? That is Not a strategy

Waiting for your IT to “just work” is like waiting for that one team member to suddenly become a top performer on their own. It’s rare, unreliable, and eventually costs you. As your business scales, so will the complexity. Plan for it now, or pay for it later.
