IT Solutions for SMBs and Startups

When you're launching or growing a business, IT problems shouldn't slow you down. Adsum Technologies supports Quebec SMBs and startups so that technology works for them — not against them.

Why IT Is a Challenge for Small Businesses

In an SMB of 5, 15, or 40 people, there's usually no one whose primary role is to handle IT. It's often the owner, an administrative assistant, or "the person who knows a bit about computers" who ends up fielding technology questions.

The result: updates happen when someone remembers, passwords are shared by email, backups have never been tested, and when something crashes on a Monday morning, everyone waits. Meanwhile, the obligations under Law 25 regarding the protection of personal information apply regardless of your company's size.

It's not a lack of willingness — it's a lack of time and dedicated resources.

How We Work with SMBs

We don't sell a one-size-fits-all solution. We start by understanding how your team uses technology day-to-day, then build a realistic plan based on your budget and priorities.

A dedicated IT contact — Rather than scrambling for a technician at the last minute when something breaks, you have access to a team that knows your environment. Our managed IT service includes continuous monitoring of your systems and a clear point of contact for any question.

Cloud as a growth lever — No need for a server in a closet. Our cloud solutions give you access to Canadian-hosted infrastructure that's flexible and pay-as-you-go. When your team grows from 8 to 20 people, your tools scale without a migration project.

Security from day one — SMBs are frequent targets for phishing and ransomware, precisely because their protection is often minimal. We put the basics in place: multi-factor authentication, email protection, password policies, and cybersecurity awareness and tools proportionate to your reality.
