From the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast: GRIT Technologies Expands to Florida

At GRIT Technologies we have always believed in showing up. Rolling up our sleeves, doing the work, and making sure our clients get the IT support they deserve. That’s how we built a business in Michigan, and that’s the mindset we’re bringing with us as we open our very first office outside the state. Welcome to Fort Myers, Florida.

This is more than a new location. It’s a milestone. A moment that reflects years of grit, growth, and the trust our clients have put in us. We’ve worked with clients with offices across multiple states for a while now, places like Alabama, Florida, and beyond but now we can serve our Florida clients with a local, boots-on-the-ground team, ready to tackle problems face to face.

Why Florida Makes Sense

You might ask, why Fort Myers? Why Florida? For us, it’s simple. We follow our clients. Some of our long-term clients expanded to Florida. Others opened secondary locations. We’ve supported them remotely, but there’s a limit to what you can do from hundreds of miles away. Luckly we have been able to work with local partners in these areas, for onsite needs but our goal was always to get a local presence down there.  A local presence means faster service, better collaboration, and more proactive support.

Plus, Florida has a growing business community that demands robust IT, cybersecurity, and support solutions. From small businesses to larger operations, they need reliable partners. And that’s where GRIT shines.

Meet Greg, the Guy Behind the Vision

 
This expansion is a reflection of the leadership and vision of Greg Bischer, our founder and CEO. Greg started GRIT Technologies back in 2008 in Clinton Township, Michigan. He believed from day one that IT support could be done differently, more personal, more reliable, and with a focus on the people using the technology, not just the tech itself.
 
Greg’s philosophy is simple: build trust, do the work, and fight for your clients. That approach has guided GRIT through years of growth, navigating challenges, and building a team that shares the same values.
 
This Florida office isn’t just a new location. It’s a reflection of Greg’s vision to make GRIT Technologies a regional leader that can support clients anywhere. It’s proof that when you focus on people first, the growth follows.

What Our Florida Clients Can Expect

We’re bringing everything that has made GRIT Technologies a trusted partner in Michigan to Florida. That includes:

Local Support, Fast Response

When something breaks, time is critical. Our Fort Myers team will provide same-day on-site support for urgent issues. Coupled with our 24/7 remote monitoring, this ensures problems are identified and solved before they escalate.

Tailored Cybersecurity and Compliance

Florida businesses, just like Michigan ones, face complex regulations. From healthcare to finance and professional services, compliance matters. GRIT provides layered cybersecurity, compliance consulting, and proactive monitoring to protect our clients from the growing threats out there.

Predictable, Flat-Rate Pricing

No surprises, no hidden fees. GRIT’s flat-rate model includes unlimited support, proactive maintenance, and strategic planning. This model comes to Florida with the same clarity and reliability that our Michigan clients depend on.

Proactive IT Strategy

We don’t just fix problems. We plan ahead. Our Fort Myers office will offer IT roadmapping, system upgrades, hardware lifecycle management, and strategic planning so Florida businesses can grow without worrying about their technology holding them back.

Serving Clients Across State Lines

GRIT has experience working with clients who have locations in multiple states. This Florida office is the first physical presence outside Michigan, but it represents a larger vision. With regional offices, we can deliver consistent service, cybersecurity, and IT strategy across multiple locations, ensuring businesses don’t have to juggle different providers in each state.

Whether a client is in Detroit, Fort Myers, or Birmingham, Alabama, GRIT’s approach remains the same: reliable, human-centered IT support that keeps their business running smoothly.

Looking Ahead

Opening an office in Fort Myers is a milestone for GRIT, but it’s not the finish line. We see this as the start of a multi-state presence that allows us to support clients wherever they need us. Every new location brings new opportunities, new partnerships, and new ways to deliver on our promise of IT done right.

For our clients, it means peace of mind knowing GRIT is nearby, even if your business spans state lines. For us, it’s proof that hard work, trust, and grit pay off. And for everyone involved, it’s a reminder that good IT isn’t just about technology. It’s about people.

From the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast, GRIT Technologies is proving that our approach works anywhere. The Fort Myers office isn’t just a new address. It’s a commitment to our clients, a step toward national growth, and a reflection of our values. We’re excited for this new chapter, ready to support Florida businesses, and proud of the work that got us here.

We at GRIT know this is just the beginning. The work will always be hands-on, human-centered, and grounded in the same grit that built our reputation in Michigan. The next chapter is here, and we’re ready to show up, do the work, and deliver for every client who puts their trust in us.
