Our Story

Built by People
Who've Wired
Buildings Before.

Detroit Networking Systems is a Michigan-based technology integrator founded by industry veterans — combining decades of cabling, networking, and IT experience with the values of a tight-knit local team.

Why We Started

A Local Alternative
to Out-of-Town MSPs.

Detroit Networking Systems was built on a simple premise: businesses across Michigan deserve a technology partner who's actually here. Not a national MSP routing tickets through a call center halfway across the country. Not an installer who shows up once and disappears.

Our founders — industry veterans with decades of experience in structured cabling, enterprise networking, and IT operations — saw the gap. Real expertise. Local response. Long-term relationships. So they built it.

"We started this because the businesses around us deserved better — and we knew exactly what better looked like."

Where We're Headed

Young Company.
Veteran Team.

DNS may be a young company on paper, but our team brings decades of combined experience across every service line we offer — from RCDD-led cabling design to enterprise networking, access control, CCTV, AV, and managed IT.

That experience shapes how we work: tight processes, clear documentation, real engineering input, and direct accountability. When you call us, you talk to people who've been doing this for years — not someone reading from a script.

What We Stand For

Three Values.
One Standard.

Everything we do comes back to these three principles. They're how we win customers, and how we keep them.

01 / CRAFT

Quality & Craftsmanship

Every cable run, every camera mount, every network configuration leaves our hands properly tested and documented. Not because a procedure says so — because we don't ship work we wouldn't be proud of.

02 / LOCAL

Local Team, Local Response

We're based in Michigan. When you need someone on-site, we can get there. When you need someone who understands your building, we already do.

03 / RELATIONSHIPS

Real Customer Relationships

We're small enough to know our customers by name and big enough to deliver. No call centers, no ticket queues — just real people answering real questions.

How We Work

Our Approach.

We're not the biggest integrator out there — and we don't try to be. We're the right partner for organizations that care about how their work gets done.

01
Direct Communication

No layers, no middlemen. You talk directly to the people designing and installing your work.

02
Transparent Process

Clear quotes, firm timelines, real updates. No surprises mid-project.

03
Engineering Input

Need help refining your spec or scoping a project? Our team weighs in — at no extra charge.

04
Long-Term Partnership

We build relationships that last beyond a single install. We stay around to support what we build.

Where We're Based

Headquartered
in Detroit.

There's a reason the city is in our name. Detroit isn't just our address — it's our identity. The grit, the work ethic, the practical approach to getting things done — that's the culture we bring to every project.

Being in Michigan means we're close to the businesses we serve. Local response, local relationships, local accountability. We don't disappear after the install — because we live and work in the same community as our customers.

Let's Build
Something Together.
