Welcome to Symplicity
We specialize in:

Technology Expense Management
Technology expenses can be complicated to manage because accounting pays the invoices and technical department negotiates the agreements. Rarely does either really look at or understand the invoices to see if they are billing correctly or reflect the negotiated rates. At Symplicity, we use our Symplify Inventory Management System to help clients with visibility into their spend and allows for Consolidation, Reduction and Elimination of invoices and services resulting optimization of costs.

Engineering and Design Managed Services
In today’s connected world, your business depends on fast, reliable network solutions to keep everything from mission-critical cloud applications to hosted phone services up and running. For most, the seemingly endless options are overwhelming, making the process of choosing the best connectivity solutions difficult and painful. We can help you navigate the world of network services and find solutions that keep your network operating a peak efficiency.

Technology changes...
How we treat clients never will.
We're a technology partner that acts like a business partner, a consultant that treats you like a friend. We always do the right thing for your business, even when no one's looking. We don’t cut corners, act like robots, or check out when our clients need us. We work hard to create opportunities for you and your business to thrive. Sometimes that runs up our coffee budget, but we're okay with that.

Who We Are
Meet our team
Always do the right thing, even when no one is looking.
I founded Symplicity Communications in 2007 to help people avoid misleading sales practices during telecom purchases. By bringing respect, clarity and flexibility to the process, we help clients find peace of mind in a complex market. My Midwestern values drive how I do business and select the team that makes Symplicity special. I love this industry and serve as a Co-chair for Inforum Michigan’s TechnologyNEXT program for women in technology.
Catherine (Lazarock) Behrenbrinker
President and CEO
More than two decades in the Marine Corps has taught me a proper sense of urgency and understanding.
From deploying over 800 military personnel overseas to raising my twin daughters, I value the importance of understanding problems from the other person’s perspective. My priority is to take what I’ve learned over the years to help our clients, vendors and co-workers to achieve their goals.
