A partner who already knows your sector.
On-the-ground presence across Québec. A local, French-speaking provider that understands the realities of remote sites and critical industrial operations.
Most of the work of running a Microsoft environment is done remotely: device and mobile management with Intune, protection with Defender, identities with Entra ID. When something requires a visit, io4 travels anywhere in Québec, including Abitibi, where we already support SMBs such as ACE Services Mécaniques in Val-d'Or.
The io4 360 hours bank is built for exactly this: you get a team of Microsoft experts on shared time, with weekly follow-up and quarterly governance. Plans start at about CAD 2,500 per month. An initial assessment sets the priorities: security, Windows fleet, identities.
Discover io4 360io4 SOC monitors your Microsoft environment 24/7/365 on Microsoft Defender XDR, with a mean time to resolve of about 8 minutes. This monitoring comes on top of hardening identities (Entra ID, multifactor authentication) and devices, to keep your operations running.
See io4 SOCYes, provided data and access are prepared first. io4 supports Copilot adoption and governance: choosing use cases, reviewing access rights, Microsoft Purview policies, then a pilot with a small group of users before extending it to the whole organization.
