Enterprise IT experience brought to local businesses.

A different kind of local IT

Most small businesses choose between two bad options: a break/fix shop that resets passwords and reboots routers, or an enterprise consultancy priced for companies ten times their size. Mike's IT Consulting exists in the middle — enterprise-style infrastructure discipline, applied at small-business scale and price.

That discipline looks like this in practice: clear standards, written documentation, automation of repetitive work, identity and access hygiene, verified backups, and support from someone who has managed environments where downtime was measured in dollars per minute.

How engagements work

Every engagement starts with the current reality: what is working, what is fragile, what is undocumented, and what could interrupt the business tomorrow. You get recommendations prioritized by risk and cost — written in plain business language — so you can make informed decisions instead of buying whatever a vendor is selling this quarter.

Then the highest-impact items get fixed first, and everything that changes gets documented. The goal is an environment that gets easier to manage every month, whether or not Mike's IT Consulting is the one managing it.

What clients can expect

• Straight answers, including "you don't need that."
• Documentation as a deliverable, not an afterthought.
• Automation wherever a task will be repeated.
• Security decisions explained in business terms.
• One accountable person — no ticket queue, no offshore handoff.
