Common Problems We Help Solve in Petoskey
Unreliable Wi-Fi
Weak coverage, poor roaming, guest network problems, old access points, and undocumented switches can slow down daily work.
Microsoft 365 Risk
Accounts without MFA, unclear licensing, disorganized OneDrive or SharePoint files, and no backup plan create avoidable risk.
Poor Documentation
Unknown passwords, missing network maps, unclear vendor access, and undocumented backups make support slower and outages worse.
Security Camera Gaps
Cameras need useful placement, PoE planning, storage, retention, network separation, and reliable remote access.
