Our Services

Everything Your Business
Needs. Under One Roof.

Managed IT services, IT support, IT consulting, and cybersecurity for small and medium businesses. From daily helpdesk support to long-term technology strategy, Silverthaw manages the full lifecycle.

Startup IT Foundation

Launch with the right IT services for your small business in place from day one. We build your technology foundation across hardware, software, cloud, and security, so it stays lean, protected, and ready to scale from the moment you open the doors.

Details

Getting your technology right at the start saves years of costly fixes later. We set up your complete IT foundation and provide ongoing outsourced IT support so your business is operational, protected, and ready to grow, all without building an internal team to manage it.

What's included

  • Website domain registration and hosting setup
  • Workstation and server procurement, deployment, and configuration for your team

Managed IT Services

Your complete outsourced IT department in Toronto and across Ontario: proactive monitoring, IT help desk support, patch management, and on-site response. Issues resolved before your team notices them.

Details

We begin with an assessment of your current environment and where your business is headed. From there, the Silverthaw team build a managed IT services package tailored to your operations, then take full ownership of your technology: helpdesk, security, infrastructure, and strategic planning.

IT Consulting & Software Selection

Strategic IT consulting services backed by 25+ years on the vendor side, at Oracle, SAP, and across the Ontario partner ecosystem. We assess your systems, identify what is holding you back, and map the right path forward.

Details

We bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and technical execution. By running a clear, vendor-neutral procurement process, we shield your organization from vendor bias. This keeps your technology investments focused strictly on your operational needs and ROI, giving you the exact systems you need to scale, minus the sales pitch.

What's included

  • In-depth analysis of your existing IT systems and infrastructure and security posture
  • Diagnosis of IT weaknesses, bottlenecks, and security gaps
  • Strategic technology roadmap with timeline, budget guidance, and defined next steps
  • Transparent quoting and cost analysis for recommended solutions
  • Vendor-neutral software selection: requirements definition, request for proposal management, vendor scoring, and demo oversight across 100+ systems
  • IT consulting deliverables at every stage: process maps, requirements lists, vendor scorecards, and final selection reports

Project Management & Implementation

From scope to go-live, we plan, coordinate, and deliver your IT projects as a full-service IT solutions provider. On time, on budget, with a dedicated project lead accountable for every task.

Details

IT projects fail when no one owns the full picture. Silverthaw does. Whether you're building out a new office, deploying a business system, expanding a department, or rolling out new infrastructure, we manage the entire project as your dedicated IT consulting and services partner: scope, budget, timeline, team coordination, and delivery. You stay informed at every stage. We handle everything in between.

What's included

  • Project scope definition and collaborative planning
  • Strategic budgeting across systems, infrastructure, and personnelresources
  • Detailed project roadmap with milestones, timelines, and accountable owners at each stage
  • End-to-end implementation of hardware, software, and network systems
  • Smart office deployment: meeting systems, telephony, workstation rollouts, secure server installation
  • Comprehensive training and ongoing support after go-live
  • Professional cable management and physical infrastructure optimization

Cybersecurity & Protection

Continuous cybersecurity services for your data, devices, and team, monitored around the clock and managed on your behalf. Enterprise-grade IT security services without the enterprise-grade budget.

Details

Small and medium businesses are the primary targets for cyberattacks, precisely because most are underprotected. Silverthaw wraps a managed cybersecurity services layer around your entire technology environment: devices, email, network, and credentials. Your team keeps working. Your systems stay protected. And when a threat appears, our IT security team responds immediately.

What's included

  • Advanced threat detection and real-time incident response
  • Managed antivirus, anti-malware, and endpoint protection across all devices
  • Firewall configuration, continuous monitoring, and ongoing management
  • Email security with phishing protection and spam filtering
  • Anti-phishing awareness training for your team
  • Dark web monitoring to detect compromised credentials
  • Regular security audits, compliance assessments, and ransomware response planning

Data Retention & Disaster Recovery

Your data survives anything: ransomware, hardware failure, or a server room flood. Tested backup and recovery built around your operations, so your business keeps running when the unexpected happens.

Details

A backup that has never been tested is not a backup. It is an assumption. Silverthaw designs, automates, and regularly tests your entire backup and disaster recovery infrastructure as part of your managed IT support services. When data loss or an outage occurs, your business is back online fast, with your data intact and your operations uninterrupted.

What's included

  • Off-site and cloud storage for complete redundancy across physical and digital threats
  • Network and recovery procedure documentation
  • Scalable backup architecture that grows with your data volume and business complexity

24/7 Coverage.
Every Layer.

24/7

always on

Your business keeps moving after hours, and so does your IT coverage. Round-the-clock network monitoring, after-hours helpdesk, and continuous threat detection mean your systems are watched and protected at all times.

A Full Team.
A Fraction of the Cost.

60%+

avg. savings vs. in-house

Building an internal IT team in Ontario means $60,000+ per hire, and each person covers only two or three disciplines. Silverthaw brings cybersecurity, cloud, networking, compliance, and strategic advisory under one predictable monthly investment. More capability, no recruitment overhead, and a cost structure that actually scales with your business.

Grows With
Your Business.

Scalable

no renegotiating

As your business grows, your technology needs to keep pace, without the delay of hiring cycles or the risk of skills gaps at the wrong moment. Silverthaw scales with you. Whether you're adding a department, opening a second location, or migrating to the cloud, the same team that knows your business handles it, with no renegotiating and no onboarding from scratch.

One Relationship.
Full Accountability.

1

partner, not a vendor pool

Most businesses juggle three to five IT vendors with no single owner of the full picture. Silverthaw changes that. One partner holds your infrastructure, security, software, and strategy, with a dedicated advisor who owns the relationship and coordinates every specialist working on your behalf. One call. Full accountability.

Technology that used to require an enterprise budget.
Now built for businesses like yours.

Questions We Hear

Common Concerns.

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often.

That's great. What are they doing proactively? Most providers handle tickets and keep the lights on. Silverthaw goes further: monthly status meetings, quarterly technology reviews, strategic roadmapping, and vendor-neutral software selection. If your current provider is delivering all of that, you're in excellent hands. If not, that's the gap we fill.

What's it costing you not to have it? Leadership time spent troubleshooting technology. Downtime during critical periods. Security vulnerabilities with no one watching. Our managed services are typically less than half the cost of a single internal IT hire, and you get a full team, not one person, with no overhead.

That's actually when you need it most. Small businesses are the primary targets for cyberattacks precisely because they're unprotected. And the technology decisions you make now, about your systems, your security, your data practices, become the foundation everything else is built on. Getting it right from the start costs a fraction of fixing it later.

You know your business better than anyone. But every hour spent troubleshooting email issues, chasing software updates, or worrying about cybersecurity is an hour you're not spending on growth. Our job is to take that entire burden off your plate completely, so you can focus on what you actually do best.
