HOW WE WORK

with a conversation.

We start with what your business needs.
Then build a practical path forward.

    Define.

    Review the recommendation, service boundaries, timing and price. Any assessment, cleanup or project is scoped before work begins.

    Move forward.

    Get the agreed work scheduled, document what matters and review the next priorities. Keep decisions clear as your needs change.

THE PERSON BEHIND CWI

Technical experience.
Local accountability.

Ryan WaltonOwner, CyberWatch Innovations

Technology support works better when you know who you’re talking to.

CWI is led by Ryan Walton, a U.S. Navy veteran and IT Director with experience in networking, endpoint management, infrastructure and technical support.

Based in Au Gres, CWI brings that experience to small businesses and local residents through practical recommendations and scheduled service. You get a direct conversation about what you need and what CWI can deliver.

Availability you can plan around. Service is currently scheduled for evenings, weekends and agreed appointments. Continuous automated monitoring does not mean continuous human response.

BEYOND BUSINESS IT

Local help.
For the other things, too.

Home computers and focused technology projects have a place here. Each starts with a conversation and an agreed scope.

RESIDENTIAL COMPUTER CARE

A little help
for your home tech.

Slow computer, a new device or a software problem? Ask about a repair appointment, remote help or ongoing residential care.

Business Care support is shared across the account: 2 hours for up to 5 computers, then 24 additional minutes per added computer monthly (10 computers: 4 hours; 15: 6 hours). Routine plan maintenance does not reduce that allowance. Home support is pooled within the household. Unused support time expires monthly; additional work requires approval. Existing customers retain their agreed terms until changes are agreed.

Monitoring is automated; human review and response follow your service agreement. Hardware, security subscriptions, backup storage, Microsoft licensing, onboarding, extensive cleanup, travel and projects are separately quoted. A monitoring platform alone does not guarantee malware prevention or data recovery.

Pax8

CWI IS A PAX8 PARTNER

Your needs can grow. Your options can too.

Through our Pax8 partnership, CWI can source and help manage solutions from a broad cloud marketplace. You have a local contact to help choose suitable products, arrange licensing and plan implementation.

  • Microsoft 365 and productivity
  • Endpoint and email security
  • Cloud backup and business continuity
  • Cloud infrastructure and IT operations
  • Communications and collaboration
  • AI tools and business applications

Tell us the outcome you need. We will check product availability, compatibility, vendor requirements and pricing before recommending a solution.

Ask about software and cloud solutions ↗

Marketplace access expands the options we can source; products and advanced modules are not automatically included in a care plan. Licensing, setup, ongoing management and support responsibilities are confirmed in your quote. Vendor names identify the platforms and products discussed; no certification level or direct partnership with every marketplace vendor is implied.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Clear answers.
Before we start.

Have another question?
Do you offer immediate or 24/7 support?

No. Service is currently by appointment, primarily evenings and weekends. Response objectives are agreed in your scope. Monitoring may run continuously, but human review and incident response follow the agreed service windows.

What does managed business IT cost?

Business Maintenance is $35 per computer monthly with a $175 minimum. Business Care is $65 per computer monthly with a $325 minimum and pooled remote-support time. Five computers include two hours monthly; ten include four. Support is scheduled within agreed service windows. Onboarding, licensing, backups, servers, projects and travel are separately specified. See the pricing section for complete details.

Can you work with our current equipment?

We start by reviewing your environment and support needs. Supported equipment may be suitable for ongoing care; older or unsupported systems may need separately approved remediation or replacement before CWI can take them on.

Where do you provide on-site service?

CWI is based in Au Gres and considers appointments in Standish, Tawas, West Branch and surrounding communities. Scheduling, travel charges and suitability are confirmed before a visit. Remote work may be possible for locations farther away.

Can I bring a computer in without an appointment?

Please contact CWI first. There is no staffed walk-in counter. We’ll discuss the issue and confirm whether remote assistance or an arranged appointment is appropriate.
