Our relationship with Automated Industrial Robotics (AIR) evolved from our 25+ year partnership with Owens Design. Over two decades, TTG transformed Owens Design from relying solely on legacy on-premise systems to a fully integrated hybrid cloud environment using Azure and Office 365. We maintained their high-end clustering, high-speed networks, and highly segmented clean-room environments.
In late 2025, Owens Design was acquired by AIR. The challenge shifted from managing a single enterprise to integrating a newly acquired entity into a global, cloud-native parent company, while simultaneously taking on support for other US acquisitions, such as TA Systems in Rochester Hills.
TTG operates in a co-managed IT capacity for AIR, providing heavy onsite support (multiple days a week) alongside remote assistance. We partner with their internal VP of IT and another MSP (which handles UK and Ireland operations) to manage all US operations with the trust of AIR leadership.
"TTG has supported Owens Design as our exclusive IT provider for over 25 years, consistently delivering a highly reliable IT environment backed by responsive, knowledgeable, and personable support—both locally and remotely. They've been a trusted partner in implementing cost-effective improvements aligned with our evolving business needs, and are proactive in identifying opportunities for improvement. Their support was especially valuable during our transition to AIR, where their deep understanding of our systems helped us execute a smooth transition with minimal disruption."

"Reliability and trust are the foundation of our partnership with Team Tech Guru. As we brought in Owens Design to Automated Industrial Robotics, TTG remained a constant, high-performing extension of our internal team, meaning we then expanded that trust for them to take on support of another site. Their co-managed IT approach gives us the flexibility and peace of mind that our US infrastructure is secure, optimized, and ready for whatever comes next."
