Your Downriver Small Business Technology Partner
Technology problems shouldn’t stop your business.
Computer 911 provides IT support, business technology, automation, websites, and custom solutions for small businesses that don’t need a full-time IT department.
Technology Checkup is for small businesses. Home computer help has its own direct path.
How the work gets done
Technical skill. Human conversation.
“Tell me what’s getting in the way.”
Offices, shops, hands-on workplaces, home offices, and living rooms all work differently. Computer 911 starts there: listening, looking at what you already have, and explaining the useful options in plain English.
Based in Downriver Michigan. Selected business technology, website, automation, AI integration, and systems projects are available remotely.
One practical partner
Fix it. Improve it. Build it.
Support for the technology you depend on today—and the better systems your business needs next. The work follows the problem, not a canned service bundle.
Fix It Keep the business moving.
Computers, workstations, networks, Wi-Fi, printers, Microsoft 365, email, software, setup, troubleshooting, and remote support.
Improve It Make what you own work better.
Technology assessments, network improvements, Microsoft 365 cleanup, workflow analysis, system organization, security review, and practical planning.
Build It Create the missing solution.
Websites, internal tools, dashboards, workflow automation, custom applications, and systems designed around how the business actually operates.
Before something breaks
Small Business Technology Checkup
Understand what is working, what is risky, and what is getting in the way before a failure interrupts the business.
Review areas can include workstations, network, Wi-Fi, Microsoft 365 and accounts, email, backups, security, website, software, employee technology, bottlenecks, and repetitive manual processes.
If the person who handles your technology disappeared tomorrow, could you still access everything? Ownership and recoverability are part of good technology management—not a reason to make the whole review fear-based.

Experience Across Organizations Large and Small
Our experience includes technical and customer-support work involving organizations such as: TaylorMade-adidas Golf, Callaway, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Elgato Systems, Wizards of the Coast, AACN, and HotSchedules. That experience includes direct work involving experimental prototype golf technologies for TaylorMade-adidas Golf and Callaway, and end-user support involving specialized Thermo Fisher Scientific instrumentation through a technology partner. It informs a practical approach: understand the work behind the symptom, protect continuity, and match the solution to the business problem. These organizations represent past support experience, not current Computer 911 clients, and their inclusion does not imply current affiliation or endorsement.

Real Problems. Practical Solutions.
Supporting the work, not merely the device
Technology support isn’t always “fix the computer.” Sometimes the job is understanding what the person is actually trying to accomplish.
THE CALLThrough a technology partner, we directly supported law-enforcement personnel and metallurgists using specialized Thermo Fisher Scientific instrumentation.
WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENINGThis was not simply a computer problem. Users needed help interpreting what specialized instrumentation was reporting about material being analyzed in the context of their work.
WHAT WE DIDWe listened for the real objective, worked through the technology and workflow with the user, and helped bridge the gap between the instrument’s readings and the practical question the user needed to answer.
WHY IT MATTEREDThe job is to solve the actual problem and help the technology serve the work.
Some work was performed through a technology partner. Operational and identifying details are intentionally limited.
Another real problem
When the IT Keys Leave With the Technician
The previous technician knew where the keys were. The business did not. With authorization, we reconstructed administrative control using business ownership records, vendor relationships, and legitimate recovery procedures.
The keys belong in the castle.

In the Lab · What we explore
We tinker, prototype, and build.
Not every useful business tool starts as an off-the-shelf product. We experiment with focused applications, automation, dashboards, and internal tools to explore better ways of solving real problems.
Workflow Automation
Experiments in reducing repetitive business processes and awkward handoffs.
Internal Dashboards
Small tools that turn scattered information into something easier to understand and act on.
Lead & Market Intelligence
Experiments in organizing public business information to surface useful patterns and opportunities.
Residential help remains part of the shop
Home computer help, without the runaround.
Repair over replace. Start with a free initial diagnostic and clear repair-versus-replace guidance. If a machine is worth saving, say so. If it is not, explain why.
