Message From Our CEO

Paying for IT support and still feel like
nobody's actually supporting you?

I've spent 35+ years building businesses and working in IT, so I know what's riding on your technology: payroll, deadlines, the people who count on you. I started CinchOps because too many good companies pay for IT support and still feel like nobody's actually supporting them.

We pick up the phone, know your systems, and fix problems before they negatively impact your business.

Managed IT Questions Houston Business Owners Ask

How do I know what my IT is actually costing me?▼

Add up three things: hours your team loses to slow or broken technology, issues that recur month after month, and subscriptions or hardware nobody reviews. Then weigh the total against managed IT at $100–$250 per user per month, flat. Most owners find the waste costs more than the fix, and Shane will walk the math with you in one call.

What does a business-first IT provider do differently?▼

A typical provider measures tickets closed. A business-first provider measures what changed in your business: less downtime, planned spending, fewer repeat problems, and technology decisions tied to your goals.

Is switching IT providers painful?▼

It shouldn't be. Our fix-it-first onboarding tackles your standing problems in the first weeks, so switching feels like relief, not disruption. And month-to-month terms mean we re-earn the job every month.

What does managed IT cost in Houston?▼

For fully managed IT, most Houston-area businesses invest between $100 and $250 per user per month, depending on security requirements, compliance needs, and how complex the environment is. For example, a 25-person company typically invests $2,500–$6,250 per month, and a 50-person company $5,000–$12,500. Most clients save around 30% compared to staffing IT in-house. And it's month-to-month - the price you see is the price you pay.
