IT Help Desk Services
in Michigan.
Give your employees a clear place to go when technology gets in the way of work.
CTS supports everyday technology issues remotely and onsite, from passwords and Microsoft 365 to computers, applications, printers, connectivity, and vendor problems. Choose fully managed IT, prepaid support, or service as needed.
The technical problem is only half the problem.
When an employee cannot work, the business does not care whether the underlying cause is Microsoft 365, a laptop, a printer, a network connection, or somebody else's software.
A useful help desk gives people one place to start. CTS troubleshoots the problem, determines what needs to happen next, and helps coordinate the people or vendors involved instead of simply telling the user who else to call.
One place to start for everyday technology problems.
Support scope varies by service agreement, but common requests include:
Accounts & Passwords
Password resets, account access, lockouts, permissions, MFA, and user administration.
Microsoft 365 & Email
Outlook, Teams, Microsoft 365 applications, email access, calendars, and common cloud-service issues.
Computers & Devices
Windows issues, workstation performance, software installation, updates, peripherals, and device troubleshooting.
Printers & Peripherals
Printers, scanners, monitors, docks, webcams, and other equipment employees depend on.
Business Applications
Initial troubleshooting and coordination for accounting, ERP, CRM, industry-specific, and other business applications.
Network & Connectivity
Wi-Fi, internet access, VPN, local network connectivity, and remote-work connection issues.
Employee Changes
User onboarding, offboarding, account changes, new-device setup, and technology access.
Vendor Coordination
CTS can work with ISPs, software providers, carriers, and other technology vendors when the problem crosses systems.
Not every business needs to buy IT support the same way.
CTS supports companies ranging from organizations that need occasional technical assistance to businesses that want CTS to manage the entire IT environment.
Managed IT Premium
Help desk is included as part of a broader fixed-fee managed relationship covering support, proactive management, cybersecurity, backup, and technology planning.
BOLT
Purchase technical support time in advance for businesses that need ongoing access to CTS but do not want a fully managed monthly IT relationship.
Pay As You Go
Hourly technical assistance for organizations with occasional needs or individual technology projects where a recurring program is not necessary.
Support should have measurable expectations.
CTS Managed IT Premium establishes response targets so customers know what to expect when employees request assistance.
These response targets apply to applicable Managed IT service agreements. Response measures initial engagement, not guaranteed resolution. Final commitments are governed by the applicable customer agreement.
Fixing the ticket is good. Reducing the next ticket is better.
Help desk can be purchased as a reactive service, but CTS's Managed IT model goes further by using support activity as information about the health of the technology environment.
Solve the problem in front of us.
An employee reports an issue. CTS diagnoses it, resolves it, escalates it, or coordinates the appropriate next step.
Ask why the problem keeps happening.
Managed IT adds monitoring, standards, service analytics, root-cause analysis, audits, and planning so recurring problems can become improvement opportunities.
Remote when it is faster. Local when it matters.
CTS has provided technology services to Michigan organizations since 1980. Remote support allows many issues to be handled quickly, while local technical resources provide onsite assistance when the problem requires hands-on work.
