Our Story
MIKA Systems was founded in 1988 by Mike and Kathy Hammond with a simple mission: provide reliable, expert IT services to businesses in Southeast Michigan. What started as a boutique consulting firm has evolved into a full-service technology partner trusted by companies of all sizes.
From our origins in consulting and network design, we've grown to offer comprehensive IT solutions including managed services, security systems, unified communications, cloud infrastructure, and custom application development. Our longevity in an industry known for rapid change speaks to our commitment to customer success and our ability to adapt to evolving technology landscapes.
Today, we serve approximately 150 active customers. While we've worked with Fortune 500 companies like Eaton Corporation and Reyes Holding, the heart of our business remains serving small to mid-market companies. More than 95% of our customer base falls into this category—businesses that need flexible, personalized IT support without the overhead of a large internal IT department.
MIKA Systems has weathered economic cycles, technology revolutions, and industry consolidation to remain independent and focused on what we do best: understanding your business challenges and providing technology solutions that drive growth.
