Managed IT, cybersecurity and AI support for Fridley's manufacturers, medical device suppliers and industrial tenants, delivered from our office in Brooklyn Park.
Fridley sits in Anoka County just northeast of Minneapolis, bordered by Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center on the west and Columbia Heights, New Brighton and Mounds View on the east. Interstate 694 and Highways 47 and 65 run through it. The city describes an industrial spine around its rail corridor as one of its main economic assets.
The employer base leans toward engineering and production. The city names Medtronic, Cummins and Unity Hospital as each employing over 1,000 people, and Medtronic runs an operational headquarters here. A 2021 employer list also includes Target and Minco Products. Companies like these depend on tightly controlled design files, production data and equipment that cannot sit idle.
A plant or lab in Fridley usually runs a mix of office PCs, engineering workstations and shop-floor or lab equipment that does not patch like a laptop. Having a team a short drive away means someone can walk the floor, see how the network is actually laid out and plan maintenance around production, not around a ticket queue.
We answer calls in under three minutes and engage technicians on issues in under thirty. Fridley is directly east of Brooklyn Park, a short drive from our Brooklyn Park office.
The majority of issues we open get closed the same day. That number comes from a managed services model that is all-inclusive by design: one predictable monthly fee, no hourly billing surprises.
Our operations center watches your environment around the clock, even when nobody at your office is. Escalations route to engineers who know the area.
We support businesses across Fridley, including the industrial properties along the rail corridor, the Northern Stacks redevelopment south of I-694 on the former Northern Pump site, the River Tech Workplace business park on East River Road, the Highway 65 and Highway 47 commercial strips, offices along I-694, and homes and home offices in the Riverview Heights neighborhood.
These are the IT problems we see most often for companies in a place like Fridley.
Medical device and power-equipment firms hold designs, test records and supplier files that competitors and attackers both want. Layered cybersecurity with access controls and 24/7 monitoring keeps that data contained.
Northern Stacks and River Tech Workplace mean new tenants moving into reworked industrial space. Getting cabling, firewalls, Wi-Fi and phones right at move-in is easier than fixing it later, and our infrastructure and hardware team handles the build.
When a line, a lab system or a shipping workstation stops, the cost is immediate. A tested backup and disaster recovery plan sets how fast you can be running again.
Fridley's mix of industries shapes what IT has to do.
Document control, validated systems and secure file sharing for firms in the Medtronic supply orbit, supported through our managed services.
Engineering teams and plants like those tied to Cummins power products need reliable networks between offices and production areas.
Clinics near Unity Hospital handle patient records that call for encryption, access logging and tested recovery.
Businesses on the rail corridor and in the business parks need dependable connectivity, shared systems and straightforward budgeting through a vCIO.
Fridley companies often run a patchwork of older on-site servers alongside newer cloud tools. We help decide what to keep, what to move and what to retire.
Cloud migration. Moving file servers, email and line-of-business apps to the cloud can cut the number of aging boxes in a plant office or lab. We plan the move around your production schedule through our cloud services.
Generative AI. Engineering and operations staff are already trying AI tools with company documents. We help set rules on what can be pasted in and roll out approved tools through our AI services.
A typical IT services engagement in Fridley starts with a free IT assessment. We walk the building, run discovery tooling against the network, talk to the leadership team about where they want the business in 24 months, and write up what we find, including the things you might not want to hear.
From there, the proposal is all-inclusive: one predictable monthly number that covers help desk, monitoring, patching, security stack, vendor management, and strategic planning.
For businesses with internal IT staff, the model shifts. We become the layer underneath, covering after-hours work, project work, security tooling, and the second opinion. That frees your in-house lead to focus on work that genuinely needs to be done from inside the company.
Project services handles one-time work: office moves within Fridley, server replacements, Microsoft 365 tenant migrations, network rebuilds, conference room AV refreshes. If you are scoping a project and want a second opinion before signing a quote, we will review it for free.

Yes, with rules. We help define which data stays out of public AI tools and set up approved options, so teams can use AI without exposing designs or customer information.
