Our IT services in Sherbrooke
Our service offering can cover every aspect of your IT environment: day-to-day management, security, cloud infrastructure and IT consulting.
Managed and Co-Managed IT services in Sherbrooke
Entrust the complete management of your IT infrastructure to a team that continuously monitors the health of your systems. Our managed IT services include proactive monitoring of servers and workstations, ongoing patch management, backup management and user support.
For Sherbrooke SMBs that already have an internal IT resource, our co-managed IT services complement your existing team rather than replace it: tools, 24/7 monitoring, Level 2 expertise and coverage during vacations and absences.
IT security for Sherbrooke SMBs
Cybersecurity is included in our core service offering. Threat monitoring, vulnerability management, employee security awareness and penetration testing are integrated into our services.
Our IT security services help businesses meet the requirements of insurers, management teams and Quebec’s Law 25. This is an increasingly important concern for Sherbrooke businesses, which are now expected to demonstrate their level of security.
Cloud services and Azure migration for eastern townships SMBs
Cloud migration, application hosting and virtual desktops: our cloud services reduce your reliance on aging hardware and help make your IT costs more predictable. They also reduce your dependence on having critical hardware physically hosted on your premises.
We support Eastern Townships SMBs with their migration to Azure using a detailed step-by-step plan designed to avoid business interruptions. For organizations subject to data compliance requirements, such as municipalities, clinics and professional firms, our sovereign cloud solutions ensure that information remains hosted in Canada.
IT consulting and IT roadmaps for Sherbrooke businesses
Our IT consulting services provide a clear picture of your current situation before you make decisions and commit to a budget. From an audit of your existing infrastructure and a three-year IT roadmap to equipment replacement budgeting and risk assessments, we document the actual state of your environment and prioritize the items that need to be modified, corrected or replaced.
This is also the step that should come before changing IT providers: an objective assessment of the current situation before making changes to or taking over the infrastructure. For a growing Sherbrooke SMB, IT consulting helps prevent a series of improvised technology decisions from accumulating over time.

Why Sherbrooke SMBs choose Groupe SL
Technicians available in the Eastern Townships
Our head office is in Varennes, but technicians are available directly in the region. Server migrations, cabling, workstation deployments and equipment replacements: when an on-site presence is required, a technician can come to your location.
A reliable team
Less than 45 minutes on average for non-urgent requests. We publish this number because we track it.
Experience with the industries we serve
Manufacturing and distribution, healthcare, construction, retail, municipal organizations and professional firms: the SMBs we support operate in a wide range of industries. What changes from one industry to another are the constraints, compliance requirements, production system availability and management of multiple locations. These are exactly the factors we document and plan for before each engagement begins.
Taking over from an existing provider is part of our day-to-day work
A significant portion of our new engagements involve changing IT providers. Our process is clear: we assess the current situation, prioritize immediate risks and then carry out a planned transition of access, licences and documentation.
Security is built in
Threat monitoring, vulnerability management and regular audits are part of our core services.
Coverage from Montreal to Quebec City
Our Greater Montreal and Quebec City teams use the same tools, share the same documentation and rely on the same 24/7 emergency support team. If you have locations in more than one region, you can benefit from having a single IT provider.
A 20- to 30-minute call allows us to understand your IT environment and current challenges, followed by an IT audit after the discussion. There is no commitment at this stage.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Sherbrooke?
No. Our offices are located in Varennes at 2085 Marie-Victorin Road, Suite 300 and in Quebec City at 585 Charest Boulevard East. However, technicians are available directly in the Eastern Townships. For you, the level of service is the same as it is for a client located near one of our offices.
Does not having an office in Sherbrooke make a difference for us?
For day-to-day support, there is no difference because everything can be handled remotely. For projects that require an on-site presence, such as server migrations, cabling or workstation deployments, our technicians travel throughout Sherbrooke and the surrounding region, from Lennoxville to Brompton.

We serve Sherbrooke and communities throughout the Eastern Townships, including Magog, Granby, Bromont, Cowansville, Windsor, Coaticook, Val-des-Sources, East Angus and Lac-Mégantic, as well as Centre-du-Québec and Eastern Montérégie, including Drummondville, Victoriaville, Saint-Hyacinthe and Sorel-Tracy.
Do you also serve Greater Montreal and the Quebec City region?
Yes. Our Varennes head office serves Greater Montreal and the South Shore, while our Quebec City office serves the Capitale-Nationale region. Our teams use the same tools, share the same documentation and rely on the same 24/7 emergency support service. Visit our IT services in Montreal, South Shore IT services and Quebec City IT services pages for more information.
Can you take over from our current IT provider?
Yes. A significant portion of our new engagements involve changing IT providers. We begin by assessing your current situation and prioritizing immediate risks, followed by a structured transition of access, licences and documentation.
How much do managed IT services cost for an SMB in Sherbrooke?
Our managed IT service plans vary based on the number of users per month, the size of your IT environment, the level of security required and whether you already have an internal IT team. We establish pricing following an initial audit to avoid unexpected costs for either party.
