Our History: Founded in 1983 in Traverse City, ISC has consistently been at the forefront in helping northern Michigan businesses to use technology wisely and improve their productivity. In direct response to the needs of our customers, ISC added a sales and support office in Petoskey in 1996 and two years later added a similar office in Gaylord. While the focus in 1983 was on workstations, ISC evolved the service portfolio over the years to support local area networking, wide area networking, the Internet, e-business, wireless, and IP telephony. In 1999, the company merged with a Petoskey technology consulting firm and changed its name to Integrated Systems Consultants. Today, ISC is the premier technology service firm in northern Michigan.
