About Us
Discover the heart of our mission at McFarland IT Solutions: delivering reliable, innovative technology services tailored to empower your business. With a focus on exceptional service and long-term partnerships, we’re here to simplify IT and help you achieve your goals with confidence.
Welcome to McFarland IT Solutions, a trusted Managed Service Provider in the City of Kawartha Lakes and surrounding areas. Our story began in 2001 when Aaron McFarland started out as a technical consulting contact, offering break/fix computer support to home users and small businesses in Peterborough, ON.
With the changing landscape of the computer market, Aaron recognised the need to shift his business model towards a more preventative and proactive support environment. This led to the official branding of McFarland IT Solutions in 2016 as a Managed Service Provider, specialising in customised Managed IT Services, Cloud Solutions, Cyber Security, and Business Continuity to small businesses in City of Kawartha Lakes and area.
At McFarland IT Solutions, we understand that not everyone is a tech expert, and that’s okay! Think of us as your technology partner, here to take care of all your IT needs so you can focus on running your business.
A Managed IT Service Provider (or MSP) like us manages and monitors your computers, networks, and data systems. This means we make sure everything is running smoothly, secure from threats, and up-to-date. If something goes wrong, we’re the team that steps in to fix it—often before you even notice there's an issue! We also offer advice on how to improve your IT setup, ensuring you're using technology in the most efficient way possible.
In short, we take the stress out of IT, allowing you to focus on growing your business without worrying about your tech.
Our most important asset is you; our clients. We have always relied on your loyalty to make these past years a success. Your referrals are greatly appreciated! Thank you for choosing McFarland IT Solutions as your trusted technology partner.

Our business model focuses on proactive managed IT support rather than traditional break/fix services. While break/fix solutions react to problems after they occur, our proactive approach identifies and resolves potential issues before they cause downtime or disruptions. Continuously putting out the same fires is no longer efficient for businesses and can significantly impact productivity. For this reason, we do not offer one-time, break/fix services.
