As part of the agreement, Patrick Collins will join AdRem full-time in a dual role as network engineer and client success manager. He will remain the main point of contact for existing YTW clients while also contributing to technical projects and community outreach across Michigan.
YTW clients will transition into AdRem’s Managed IT and Online Services platforms through a phased process strengthening service continuity while expanding access to 24/7 support, enterprise-grade cybersecurity tools, and a larger team of experienced technicians.
“We’re thrilled to bring Patrick Collins and the Ypsilanti Tech Works clients into the AdRem family,” said Patrick Birt, President and CEO of AdRem Systems Corporation. “This move represents more than just growth—it’s about strengthening our ability to serve with greater depth, speed, and expertise. Patrick’s technical skillset and trusted client relationships are a perfect match for our mission to deliver reliable, personal, enterprise-class IT services. Our clients, both new and existing, will feel the benefits immediately, from increased local support to expanded project capacity.”
The partnership developed over the past year through ongoing conversations and project alignment. According to Lisa Cardenas, AdRem’s Vice President of Commercial Services, the decision reflects both operational synergy and personal trust.
“We’ve known Patrick and admired his work in the Ann Arbor tech community for quite some time,” said Lisa Cardenas. “Over the past year, both our CFO and I have had the opportunity to build a strong relationship with him. This partnership felt like a natural next step, not just technically, but personally. We’re excited to bring our teams together and deepen our support for the region we all call home.”
The move supports industries AdRem already serves, including construction, legal services, and healthcare, and opens the door to a higher tier of support for former YTW clients, including around-the-clock helpdesk support, enterprise-level cybersecurity solutions, website and cloud infrastructure hosting, and proactive infrastructure monitoring and management.
“Joining AdRem opens the door to a higher standard of service for my clients,” said Patrick Collins, Founder of Ypsilanti Tech Works. “I’m excited to continue working directly with the businesses I’ve supported for years, while also tapping into AdRem’s expanded capabilities. Together, we’re delivering something truly unique: personal, local support backed by the power and reliability of a larger organization.”
This collaboration continues AdRem’s growth strategy focused on expanding without losing its core focus on localized, relationship-driven support.
It follows AdRem’s 2024 acquisition of Sherpa, a Virginia-based compliance consulting firm, and reinforces its long-term vision: to deliver scalable, secure, and accessible IT services with a local presence and national infrastructure.
