SOUND FAMILIAR?

When Your IT Partner Disappears Overnight

PE-backed acquisitions are sweeping through Michigan's IT industry. If any of this sounds familiar, it might be time to talk.

๐Ÿ“‹

New Contract, Same Problems

You're being asked to sign a new agreement with a company you never chose โ€” on terms you never agreed to. The relationship you built? Gone.

๐Ÿ“ž

Can't Reach Anyone

The team that knew your systems has been reassigned or let go. Support tickets go to a national call center. Response times are slipping.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Costs Are Creeping Up

New "platform fees," bundled services you don't need, and pricing that doesn't reflect your actual usage. The economics changed when the ownership did.

๐Ÿ”’

Security Concerns

During transitions, things fall through the cracks. Patches get delayed, monitoring gaps appear, and you're left wondering who's actually watching your network.

๐Ÿค

No Local Accountability

The owner who used to answer your calls now reports to a boardroom in Boston. Decisions about your business are being made by people who've never been to Michigan.

โš™๏ธ

Forced Platform Changes

Your tools and systems are being migrated to standardized platforms โ€” whether they're a good fit for your business or not. You weren't consulted.

WHY KRAFT

Built Different. On Purpose.

We're not backed by private equity. We're backed by 30 years of showing up for Michigan businesses.

QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Switching

No. We plan every migration to avoid disruption to your operations. Our team works alongside your existing provider during the transition period to ensure a seamless handoff. Most of our clients tell us the switch was easier than they expected.

Absolutely. Most businesses start the conversation well before their contract ends. We can review your current agreement, help you understand your options, and have a plan ready so there's no gap in coverage when the time comes.

Most transitions take 30-60 days depending on complexity. We start with a thorough discovery phase, build out your environment in parallel, and then execute the migration on a timeline that works for your team. No rushing, no surprises.

Four things: we're Michigan-owned and have been since 1994 (never acquired), we offer IT, cybersecurity, and managed print under one roof (most MSPs can't touch print), we have four local offices so you always have someone nearby, and we don't require long-term contracts. We earn your business month to month โ€” and we're the only MSP in Michigan that operates that way.

That's right โ€” no long-term contracts, ever. We operate month-to-month because we believe you should stay with your IT provider because they're delivering results, not because you're locked in. If we're not meeting your expectations, you're free to leave. It keeps us accountable and it keeps our clients happy. We're the only MSP in Michigan that does this.

We review your current IT infrastructure, security posture, existing contracts, and business goals. You get a clear, honest picture of where you stand and what could be improved โ€” whether you choose to work with us or not. Zero pressure, zero obligation.

Yes. While our offices are in Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Detroit, and Lansing, we serve businesses across the entire state of Michigan. Our remote monitoring and support capabilities mean we can manage your infrastructure wherever you are.
