Reliable IT. Stronger security. Less to worry about.
SMTP keeps the technology of growing businesses and professional offices secure, reliable and simple, without the cost of a full internal IT department.
Most offices don't have an IT problem. They have too many small things nobody owns: an old server, a password only one person knows, backups nobody has tested, software that was set up years ago and never looked at again. SMTP takes ownership of those things so you don't have to.
Three ways to work with SMTP.
Start with a review, hand us a defined project, or keep a senior technician on call. Every engagement has a clear scope and a clear price.
Technology Review
A plain-language assessment of how your office's technology is set up today, and what should change.
- Are your files and email backed up, and can they be restored?
- Who has access to what, including former staff?
- What's at risk, and what it would cost to fix
Projects & Upgrades
Defined projects with a start, an end and a fixed deliverable: migrations, new equipment, office moves, modernization.
- Moving email and files to Microsoft 365
- Replacing aging servers and network equipment
- Setting up new computers and staff properly from day one
Ongoing Support
A senior technician you can call, billed as a monthly block of hours. No long-term contract, no full-time salary.
- A direct line, answered by the person who knows your setup
- 10, 20 or custom hours per month
- Works alongside your existing IT provider if you have one
Offices where confidentiality and reliability aren't optional.
SMTP works with growing businesses of 10 to 150 people, and particularly with professional offices: law firms, notaries, accountants and clinics, where client information has to stay private and systems have to simply work.
-
Client confidentialityAccess limited to the right people, removed the day someone leaves, with a record of who can see what.
-
Backups that actually restoreFiles and email protected against ransomware, hardware failure and honest mistakes, and tested so you're not finding out at the worst moment.
-
Privacy obligations (Law 25)Québec's privacy law applies to every office that holds personal information. We help you put the basics in place and document them.
-
Everything documentedYou get a clear record of your setup, in language your office can understand. Your technology should never depend on one person, including us.
Simple from the first call.
We talk
A 30-minute conversation about what's frustrating you or what you'd like to change. No preparation needed.
We look
We review your current setup and tell you, in plain terms, what's fine and what isn't.
We fix it
You get a written scope and a price before any work starts. Then we do the work.
We keep it simple
Where it makes sense, we automate the repetitive tasks so there's less to maintain and less to bill.
What you can expect.
Plain language
Explanations you can repeat to a partner or a colleague without needing a translation.
Fixed scope, fixed price
Every project is quoted before it starts. Ongoing support is a flat monthly block, not a surprise invoice.
Remote or in person
Most work is done remotely. On-site visits in the Greater Montréal area when it helps.
Questions we hear often.
Not at all. Most conversations start with "something feels off" or "we've been meaning to look at this." We'll figure out what's actually going on and suggest a sensible next step, even if that step is "you're fine for now."
No. SMTP regularly works alongside existing IT providers and in-house staff, usually on the infrastructure and security side where a second set of experienced eyes helps.
A 30-minute call or visit. Best case, everything is in order and we tell you so. Worst case, you leave with a short list of what to check. There's no obligation either way.
Reviews and projects are quoted as a fixed price before work begins. Ongoing support is sold as a monthly block of hours you can adjust or stop. No long-term contracts.
Yes, in the Greater Montréal area, whenever it's useful. Most day-to-day work can be done remotely, which keeps costs down.
