F12: One of the Most Relied Upon Vaughan IT Companies

My Blue Umbrella, founded in 1996, originated as a value-added reseller (VAR) with the desire to bring an umbrella of services to business leaders seeking an expert IT partner. Since then, MBU’s Founder and CEO, Michael Contento, has earned notable client affinity and impressive staff tenure.

With an extensive range of services, MBU provides its clients with the ability to transform their entire business. MBU’s track record of success is evident through numerous awards and accolades, including being named a Top 100 Solution Provider by Channel Innovation Awards and a Modern Workplace Champion by Microsoft.

In 2021, MBU joined F12 and continues to expand its solution stack by bringing business transformation specialists to harness technology’s power and potential through digital transformation and automation.

F12 has partnered with Ontario-based businesses with deep roots in the province’s IT sector. Through our Vaughan office, F12 serves Concord, Mississauga, Richmond, Brampton, and outlying areas.

F12 also has a Waterloo office that serves Waterloo, Mississauga, Brantford, Guelph, Owen Sound, Cambridge, Barrie, London, Hamilton, Kitchener, and beyond.

Managing Partner in Concord, Michael Contento, owner of My Blue Umbrella (MBU) and Business Innovation Executive for F12.net, has been helping business leaders simplify and innovate through tech management and consulting services to some of Canada’s highest-performing companies for over twenty-five years.

“I love business and customer experience, and I knew there was a gap between the two. I have always tried to narrow that gap by genuinely understanding our clients’ goals and objectives to ensure their success. This opportunity to join the F12 team and leverage their suite of technology services and bench strength will allow me and the team to focus on things that will make a difference for our clients.”

Looking for a Vaughan IT company that values and rewards innovation, effort, and results? Our tight-knit culture creates a motivated workforce positioned to achieve both corporate strategic goals and personal career growth.

We believe that IT should be easy for businesses, that interacting with clients should be fun, and that professional accountability must be high.

F12 continues to develop successful relationships with both customers and partners in Ontario and the eastern region through mergers and acquisitions. We are open to new partnerships with existing MSP owners (strictly confidential, of course) who are looking for an exit strategy, greater financial security, or cash compensation.

In addition to My Blue Umbrella, other Ontario-based IT businesses that have joined the F12 family include Apps on Tap Inc. and Xylotek Solutions.
