  • Day-to-day support for users, devices, and Microsoft 365
  • Backup, security baseline, patching, and routine maintenance
  • Vendor coordination across internet, phone, software, and line-of-business systems

When IT has helpers but no clear owner

Many businesses are not completely unsupported. They have a software vendor, an internet provider, someone who knows Microsoft 365, and a person inside the company who keeps track of too much by memory. Treo brings the recurring IT work into one accountable relationship across users, devices, Microsoft 365, backups, security basics, and vendor follow-through.

Managed IT for operations where specialized systems matter

Some organizations need more than support for laptops, Microsoft 365, and backups. Their IT environment also has to support production systems, dispatch platforms, clinic systems, scale equipment, guest-facing networks, or IBM i applications.

01 Steel service centres

Production systems, shop-floor workflows, and vendor handoffs

Systems we know Enmark Eniteo, ProNest, SigmaNEST, production equipment, CNC, plasma, and saw workflows.

Treo built a custom Truck Scale Station for a steel service centre client, connecting live camera feeds, scale data, remote gate control, and Enmark Eniteo ERP context into one workflow.

02 Metals recycling operations

Scale systems, yard infrastructure, and reporting continuity

Systems we know Western Scale, Rematter, ScrapIT, rugged yard infrastructure, scale systems, and reporting workflows.

For a metals recycling client, Treo built custom operations software for bin tracking, dispatch, and scale operations, with integrations to ATMs, weigh scales, and camera systems.

03 Transportation and dispatch

Dispatch availability, mobile devices, and field operations

Systems we know iCabbi, TaxiCharger, Mitchell 1, Tracker Management, mobile devices, and field connectivity.

Treo built a data integration between iCabbi and TaxiCharger to streamline billing across dispatch and payment systems.

04 Clinics

Front-desk reliability, imaging continuity, and privacy obligations

Systems we know Maxident, AviMark, Shepherd, Carestream, Safecom, imaging, privacy obligations, and front-desk workflows.

Treo has assisted clinic migrations and support work involving Maxident, AviMark, Shepherd, and Carestream, including the WiFi stability that imaging and chairside equipment depend on.

05 Family entertainment centres

Guest networks, POS, attractions, and multi-vendor systems

Systems we know Apex Timing, Intercard, Embed, Delta Strike, Brunswick, Touch Bistro, arcade systems, guest WiFi, POS, and attraction networks.

Entertainment venues often run Apex Timing, Intercard, Embed, Touch Bistro, and other vendor systems that were each deployed as if they owned the network. Treo provides local first-contact support and infrastructure coordination when those systems have to share the same environment.

06 IBM i / AS400

Legacy systems that still run important business work

Systems we know IBM i, AS400, RPG, RPGLE, DB2 for i, integrations, modernization, and support.

Treo has decades of hands-on IBM i operations and development experience, including custom systems across accounting, inventory, sales, and purchasing, and Windows client applications that integrate with existing AS400 databases.

What we handle

What Treo typically handles in a managed IT relationship

The exact scope depends on the environment, but this is the practical day-to-day work businesses usually need someone to own.

01

Users and access

The first responsibility is keeping people productive and access controlled: user support, onboarding, offboarding, Microsoft 365, MFA, mailboxes, licensing, and identity changes.

User support and workstation issues

We handle the support requests that interrupt daily work: new-user setup, mailbox issues, device problems, printers, onboarding, offboarding, and workstation troubleshooting.

Microsoft 365 and identity administration

We administer Microsoft 365 licensing, shared mailboxes, MFA, group membership, access changes, and the account work that keeps users productive and secure.

02

Systems and continuity

The next responsibility is keeping the technical foundation supportable: servers, network infrastructure, monitoring, patching, security baseline, backup oversight, and recovery readiness.

System upkeep and routine administration

We handle monitoring, patching, server upkeep, network upkeep, security baseline checks, infrastructure upkeep, and routine administration so the environment does not depend on periodic cleanup after problems have already piled up.

Backup, recovery, and continuity support

We handle backup oversight, restore readiness checks, and continuity-minded decisions that keep the business recoverable when something goes wrong.

03

Vendors and planning

Another responsibility is keeping vendors, lifecycle decisions, and cleanup work from falling back on the business. Handoffs, escalation, and planning need one owner.

Vendor coordination and escalation follow-through

Many issues involve more than one party: internet providers, software vendors, phone systems, security tools, and internal stakeholders. Within the managed IT scope, Treo owns the infrastructure, accounts, access, network, security, backup, vendor coordination, and escalation follow-through. Specialized application configuration usually stays with the software vendor unless Treo has specific capability in that system.

Planning, cleanup, and practical guidance

We handle lifecycle decisions, recurring cleanup, technical debt reduction, and plain-language recommendations that keep the environment from slowly getting harder to support.

04

Workflow improvement

When the IT foundation is stable and Treo understands how the business operates, the relationship can move beyond support into workflow improvement: custom applications, integrations, reporting, automation, and practical AI workflows that reduce manual work and close operational gaps.

Practical AI workflows and automation

We help identify repeatable work, handoffs, approvals, and information bottlenecks where AI tools or automation can save time without creating new security, privacy, or process problems.

Custom applications, reporting, and integrations

Where standard systems leave gaps, Treo can help build practical software, reporting, data exports, and integrations that fit the way the business actually operates.

What the first 30-60 days usually look like after switching to Treo

A managed IT takeover starts with imperfect information. The first phase is about giving staff a clear support path, recovering the access needed to support the environment, and finding the risks that need decisions before they become recurring problems.

Treo can take ownership of the support path quickly, start stabilizing the environment, expose the biggest risks, and move the client toward a supportable operating rhythm. Some environments settle quickly. Others take longer because access, vendor handoffs, documentation, or inherited issues have to be worked through first.

Start

Kickoff and support path

We schedule a kickoff shortly after agreement, usually within a few business days. Staff are given a clear support path early in the transition so requests stop moving through side conversations and informal handoffs.

Map

Initial environment picture

We begin building a working inventory of users, devices, Microsoft 365, vendors, backups, security tools, and systems in scope. The picture improves as access, vendor records, and documentation are recovered.

Stabilize

Access transfer and urgent issues

Admin access is transferred by priority. Urgent support issues are identified and triaged during onboarding, while inherited backlog items are separated from the recurring support work when they need separate scope or approval.

Review

Backup and security baseline

We review systems in scope for backup coverage, security basics, and obvious exposure. Leadership receives a short list of priority risks and recommended next actions.

Settle

Tooling and operating rhythm

We review inherited tools and move toward Treo's standard stack where appropriate. Around the 30-60 day mark, we confirm what is stable, what remains open, and what should move into scheduled work.

What we need from the client

A takeover works faster when the client gives Treo one primary contact, a backup approver, authority to work with outgoing providers and vendors, admin access or permission to recover it, a staff roster, location details, known vendor contacts, and approval for staff communication.

Plan on roughly 1-3 hours per week during the first month. More time may be needed when access is blocked, vendor records are scattered, or leadership decisions are delayed. That effort gives Treo the authority and context to take ownership without guessing.

Where a takeover can stall

Treo can start with imperfect documentation. The relationship can stall if admin access cannot be recovered, no one has authority to approve vendor work, the primary contact goes silent, or serious risks are left undecided.

Those situations need leadership decisions before recurring support can settle into a reliable rhythm.

Is this a fit

When this is usually the right fit

We tend to be strongest with organizations that want broader ownership than a reactive help desk can provide.

Likely a good fit

Managed IT works best when the goal is steadier operations, not simply a cheaper place to send tickets.

  • You want more ownership than a break-fix relationship provides
  • You need help across users, Microsoft 365, vendors, and ongoing administration
  • You want to reduce how much internal staff have to coordinate themselves
  • You care about stability, security, and continuity over the long term

Probably not the best fit

We are deliberate about this because managed IT is not the right model for every organization.

  • You are mainly looking for the lowest-cost, lowest-involvement vendor
  • You only want isolated one-off tasks with no broader ownership
  • You prefer to keep directing day-to-day technical decisions yourself
  • You want someone to respond to emergencies but otherwise leave the environment alone
Common questions

Common questions before switching to managed IT

These are the questions we hear most often when organizations are trying to decide whether broader IT coverage is actually what they need.

Can Treo work alongside internal staff or outside vendors?

Treo can work alongside internal staff, outside vendors, and operations leads when the responsibilities are clear. Many environments involve internal technical staff, office managers, line-of-business vendors, telecom providers, or other specialists. Managed IT should make that coordination easier by giving the business one accountable support path and clear follow-through.

Do you replace internal IT?

Treo can act as the primary IT partner or support an existing internal team, depending on what the environment needs. Some organizations need Treo to own day-to-day support and administration. Others need Treo to carry recurring work, Microsoft 365 administration, security basics, backup oversight, or escalation follow-through so internal staff can stay focused on the business.

Can Treo take over from another provider or a messy internal setup?

Treo can take over from another MSP, a break-fix vendor, an informal internal setup, or an overloaded internal person when leadership can help recover access and approve the transition. The first phase is usually about establishing a clear support path, recovering admin access, reviewing Microsoft 365, vendors, backups, and security basics, and separating urgent support from inherited backlog. Incomplete documentation is common, but blocked admin access or missing vendor authority can slow the transition.

How is managed IT scoped and priced?

Managed IT is scoped around the environment Treo is expected to support, not only the number of users. Important variables include users, devices, locations, servers, cloud services, security requirements, backup needs, vendor complexity, specialized systems, and the current condition of the environment. For deeper budgeting context, read Understanding Your Technology Costs, What Are Managed IT Services?, and Why Employee Technology Should Be Budgeted as Part of Employee Cost.

What kind of support response should we expect?

Treo triages support by business impact, urgency, and the people or systems affected. A down production system is different from a routine access change, and managed IT works best when requests move through a clear support path instead of side conversations. The goal is visible ownership, practical prioritization, and follow-through until the next step is clear.

Do you only work with organizations in Edmonton?

Treo's main office is in Edmonton, and the best fit is organizations in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Fort Saskatchewan, Nisku, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Red Deer, and nearby Alberta communities. Most routine support is delivered remotely, but local presence still matters for hardware, network, office-change, and vendor-coordination work.
