Ontario businesses with 20+ employees: your AODA accessibility compliance report is due December 31, 2026.

If you have 50 or more employees, there’s an extra requirement many people miss: your public website must meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA. That means readable colour contrast, descriptions on images, labelled forms and a site you can fully use with just a keyboard.

The report asks a senior officer to certify that your organization meets its requirements, and that includes the website. So the website needs fixing before anyone signs.

Our web team at WIT Studio has put together a plain-language guide with Ontario’s official requirements, a breakdown by company size and a 10-step checklist you can start this week.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Western I.T. team! 🦃🍂

This weekend, we hope the only thing crashing is you on the couch after dinner. We're grateful for the businesses that trust us to keep their systems secure, their networks running, and their data safe all year long.

Unplug, enjoy the turkey, and let the out-of-office reply do the work. We'll keep things running in the background. 💻🍁

If your business runs on Microsoft Teams, the real question isn't "should we add calling" — it's which method.

Microsoft Calling Plans are self-service and quick to set up. Direct Routing connects Teams to a third-party provider instead — and once you're past 15-20 users, the cost math shifts hard in its favor.

We broke down the actual difference: setup, cost at scale, number porting, and which one fits teams under 10 people vs. growing/multi-location businesses.

Most businesses that have a rough VoIP migration make the same mistake: they cancel their old phone service before the number port is confirmed.

Under FCC rules, your old provider can't refuse to transfer your number once you've requested new service — but only if you don't jump the gun.

We wrote up the full switching process, step by step: porting your number correctly, staying E911-compliant, and running both systems in parallel so you don't drop a single call during cutover.

Quick question: does your business have one team watching both your IT support AND your security, or two separate people who never talk to each other?

New data says that gap is exactly where most businesses get caught out. We broke down what a major new security report actually found — and what it means for businesses in London, Ontario specifically. Link below 👇

Still relying on a VPN to secure your remote team? In 2026, that's not enough. 🔓

56% of organizations were breached through VPN vulnerabilities last year alone (Zscaler ThreatLabz). A VPN just checks that the connection is encrypted — it doesn't check if the device or home network on the other end is actually safe.

We broke down WITG's remote work strategy — going beyond the VPN with:
✅ Zero-trust access
✅ Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
✅ Managed cloud ecosystems
✅ Turnkey hardware deployment

A modern remote work strategy needs more than a VPN. See how zero-trust access, VDI, and managed cloud close the security gaps in 2026.

If your team works remotely or in a hybrid environment, you need more than someone who responds when something breaks. You need an IT partner that keeps your business secure, connected, and productive wherever your employees are working.

Here's how Western I.T. is different:
🔹 Proactive Monitoring – We identify performance issues, security threats, and network bottlenecks before they impact your team.
🔹 Preventative Maintenance – Automated updates, security patching, and system optimization keep your technology running at its best.
🔹 Canadian Data Control – Unlike providers that rely solely on third-party cloud infrastructure, we own and maintain our local servers, giving our clients greater control, security, and faster disaster recovery.
🔹 Predictable Pricing – Unlimited support for one fixed monthly fee means no surprise invoices and no worrying about calling IT when you need help.

Remote work succeeds when your technology is reliable, secure, and supported by a team that's always looking ahead, not just reacting to problems.
