When your IT vendor bills by the hour, every outage is revenue for them and a surprise invoice for you. Nobody on that model has a reason to prevent the next failure. Our incentive runs the other way: we make money when your systems stay up, so prevention is the product.
Every problem is a billable event
An outage on Tuesday becomes an invoice on Friday. You hesitate to call about small things, so small things grow into big ones.
Downtime nobody owns
Your server dies and the vendor voicemail says to leave a message. Meanwhile nobody in the building can work and the clock runs.
No plan past this quarter
Every IT decision is a fire drill. Nobody is paid to think about what your systems need to look like in eighteen months.
Everything an IT department does, under one fee
This is the full scope of a managed IT plan for Austin businesses. Routine work is never billed hourly. If it keeps your business running, it’s in the fee.
24/7 monitoring & management
Every server, workstation, and network device reports in around the clock. Most issues get resolved before anyone at your Austin office notices.
Unlimited help desk
Phone, email, and remote support with no per-ticket billing. A real person picks up. No offshore tier-one queue.
Patch & update management
Patching that happens on schedule and gets tested before rollout — the unglamorous work that prevents most ransomware.
Hardware lifecycle planning
We track every device and replace machines before they start dying, not after. Replacements get budgeted a year out.
Vendor management
Your ISP, printer contract, and line-of-business software support: one call to us and we fight those battles.
vCIO planning, included
A 12–36 month technology roadmap, annual budget forecasting, and quarterly reviews. Not a separate invoice.
Security baseline
EDR, MFA enforcement, and email filtering ship with every plan. Regulated Austin businesses layer on full cybersecurity services.
Backup & recovery
Encrypted, automated backups tested by restoring from them quarterly — the only way to know a recovery plan is real.
Measured across every client we manage
Metrics current as of May 2026. Uptime and response figures from internal monitoring across all managed clients.
Your first 60 days, in plain terms
No months-long discovery project. The urgent items from your assessment get fixed in the first two weeks, and by day 60 your Austin team has one number to call and it gets answered.
Free assessment
We walk your infrastructure, security posture, and compliance gaps, then hand you a written report ranked by what to fix first.
Stabilize
Monitoring agents deploy, patching catches up, backups get verified with an actual restore.
Baseline
Documentation, password and MFA cleanup, vendor handoffs, and your first draft technology roadmap.
vCIO cadence
Each quarter we walk through what’s coming for the business and what that means for IT and budget.
