IT services for growing American businesses

Six practice areas, delivered by one team out of downtown Austin. Buy them separately or roll them into a single managed agreement.

Scope in writing

Every engagement starts with a written statement of work. No open-ended retainers.

Fixed pricing

Projects are quoted as a fixed fee after discovery. You approve the number before work starts.

One escalation path

Your lead engineer, then the delivery manager, then the owner. Published in your service pack.

You own everything

Licences, domains, code and documentation are registered in your name from day one.

01 — Service

Managed IT support

Day-to-day support for every laptop, server, switch and printer you own, delivered by engineers who know your environment by name.

  • Unlimited remote helpdesk during business hours, with an after-hours on-call line
  • 24/7 monitoring of servers, network hardware and backup jobs
  • Patch management for Windows, macOS and common third-party applications
  • Asset register and network documentation kept current and shared with you
  • Quarterly review meeting covering risks, spend and planned work

Cloud migration & Microsoft 365

Moving to the cloud is mostly a scheduling problem. We plan the cutover around your working week and keep a tested way back at every stage.

  • Tenant design, licensing review and cost modelling before anything moves
  • Mailbox, SharePoint, file-server and application migrations
  • Hybrid and Azure infrastructure for workloads that cannot move yet
  • Conditional access, retention and sharing policies configured to your rules
  • Staff walkthrough sessions and a written quick-start guide

Cybersecurity & compliance support

Practical security for organisations without a security team. We start with the controls that stop the incidents we actually see.

  • Multi-factor authentication rollout across every account that supports it
  • Endpoint protection, disk encryption and least-privilege cleanup
  • Immutable, verified backups with documented restore tests
  • Phishing simulation and short staff training sessions
  • Written incident response plan and cyber-insurance questionnaire support

Data, reporting & automation

Most companies already own the data they need. We connect the systems and turn the export-and-email routine into something automatic.

  • Reporting audit: what is measured today, by whom, and at what cost in hours
  • Power BI and SQL models refreshed on a schedule you choose
  • Automated month-end packs delivered by email or Teams
  • Workflow automation between finance, CRM and operations tools
  • Training so your team can extend the reports without us

Custom software & integration

When off-the-shelf software stops fitting, we build the smallest thing that fixes it — and we hand over the source code.

  • Internal tools, client portals and quoting or scheduling applications
  • API integrations between systems that were never designed to talk
  • Legacy Access and spreadsheet applications rebuilt as web apps
  • Fixed-price delivery in two-week increments with a demo at the end of each
  • Source code, documentation and deployment scripts transferred to you

IT strategy & virtual CIO

Senior technology guidance for companies that need the judgement but not the salary.

  • Twelve-month technology roadmap tied to your business plan
  • Annual IT budget preparation and capital planning
  • Vendor selection, contract review and renewal negotiation
  • Board and leadership briefings in non-technical language
  • Due-diligence support for acquisitions and lease renewals
