IT Consulting

Enterprise-grade IT strategy, without the enterprise overhead. We help Michigan businesses make smarter technology decisions — aligning IT investment with actual business goals, not vendor agendas.

Strategy, not just support

Most small businesses get tactical IT support — someone to fix what's broken. What they rarely get is someone to help them think strategically about where their technology is headed and whether they're spending money in the right places.

Our founder spent 30+ years advising Fortune 500 companies on infrastructure strategy, vendor selection, and technology roadmaps. That experience is directly applicable to your business — the scale is different, but the discipline and methodology are the same.

We tell you what you need, not what has the highest margin. If your current stack is fine, we'll tell you. If there's a smarter path, we'll lay it out clearly with a cost-benefit analysis you can take to a decision.

Where We Can Help

From one-time advisory sessions to ongoing strategic guidance — flexible engagement models that fit your needs.

Technology Roadmapping

Where is your IT infrastructure today, and where does it need to be in 12–36 months? We build a clear, prioritized plan tied to your business objectives — not a generic template.

Vendor Evaluation & Selection

Software, hardware, cloud platforms, telecom providers — we evaluate options without a vendor relationship bias. You get an honest recommendation backed by real-world experience.

IT Budget Optimization

We review your current IT spend and identify where you're overpaying, underinvesting, or carrying licenses you don't use. Most businesses find meaningful savings in the first review.

Cloud Strategy & Migration Planning

Cloud isn't always the right answer, and cloud isn't always the wrong answer. We assess your workloads and help you make a rational decision — lift-and-shift, hybrid, or stay on-prem — with a migration plan that doesn't disrupt operations.

Second Opinion Engagements

Got a proposal from another vendor? Getting pressure to buy something you're not sure you need? Bring it to us. We'll give you a straight assessment with no stake in the outcome.

IT Due Diligence for M&A

Buying a business? We assess the target's IT infrastructure, identify risks, uncover hidden costs, and give you a clear picture of what you're inheriting before you close.

Compliance Readiness Assessment

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC — we assess your current posture against applicable compliance frameworks and give you a prioritized remediation plan, not a 200-page report you'll never read.

Fractional CTO / Virtual CIO

Need senior IT leadership without a full-time hire? We provide ongoing strategic guidance, attend leadership meetings, and function as your technology executive on a fractional basis.

Consulting Without the Conflict of Interest

Most IT consultants make money on the implementation, not just the advice. That creates a natural bias toward recommending bigger, more complex projects.

No Vendor Incentives

We don't take commissions or referral fees from hardware and software vendors. Our only incentive is giving you the right recommendation.

Flat, Transparent Fees

Project-based or retainer — you know what you're paying before we start. No hourly billing surprises, no scope creep without your approval.

Enterprise Experience, SMB Focus

We've advised Fortune 100 companies on the same types of decisions you're facing. You get that experience calibrated to your actual scale and budget.

Not sure where to start?

Start with a conversation. We'll ask the right questions, and if there's a way we can help, we'll tell you plainly what that looks like.
