Manteo

What Manteo does

Manteo is a privately held, full-spectrum IT services provider headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with operations across North America and an offshore delivery office in Cebu, Philippines. Founded in 2006, the firm delivers cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, Microsoft 365 transformation, business process automation, staff augmentation, custom application development, and managed services to enterprise and mid-market organizations across the USA, Canada, and internationally. Service delivery is built on a multi-vendor technology stack anchored by partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Arctic Wolf, Fortinet, Rubrik, Veeam, Check Point, Cloudflare, IBM, KnowBe4, and Proofpoint, among roughly 30 other technology providers.

The company's core capability areas span proactive cybersecurity (risk assessment, enterprise security architecture, managed SOC, ICS security, endpoint protection, security awareness training), data center and cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure, digital workplace transformation on Microsoft 365, business process automation, and on-demand IT staff augmentation. Manteo provides 24/7 security monitoring and support and reports a 92% client retention rate across its 500+ client base. The 2024 acquisition of Data Outsource Ltd. extended the firm into Microsoft 365 and business process automation practices.

Manteo's revenue model combines recurring subscription-based managed services with project-based professional services and staff augmentation engagements, all priced on a custom quote basis rather than published rate cards. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales supplemented by technology partner referrals, with offices in Calgary (headquarters), Las Vegas, Toronto, Dallas, and Cebu enabling localized coverage. The firm operates as an independent private entity with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or public listing.
