Message From Our CEO

We're the IT Partner That Actually Listens and Prevents Problems Before They Start

After 35+ years building businesses and working in IT, here's what I know: building a business is one of the hardest things you'll ever do.

Late nights, early mornings, sacrifices your family feels too. People count on you - and technology holds it all together.

That's why I started CinchOps. Too many good companies are blindsided by security breaches, crippled by downtime, or nickel-and-dimed by providers treating them like a ticket number.

You deserve an IT partner who actually picks up the phone, knows your systems like we do, and fixes problems before they become disasters.

We onboard a select number of clients each month. Not happy after 30 days? 100% refund, no questions asked.

Business Outcome–Driven IT

Business IT, Not Just IT for Businesses

A typical MSP grades itself on activity: tickets closed, response times, uptime percentages.
CinchOps tracks these too, but we don't stop there. We measure IT by what it changes in your business:

Typical MSP Scorecard grades the dashboard, not the business: 270 tickets closed, 10 min avg response time, 99.9% uptime. Activity, not outcomes. We track these too, but there's more. The CinchOps Scorecard: Tickets Closed Isn't a Business Result. Tickets don't show up in your P&L. These do: hours back with a team that isn't fighting its tools, revenue protected against downtime, growth without friction, data-driven decisions made with confidence, predictable spend with no surprises, deals and audits you're ready for, and owners out of the daily IT business.

What Managed IT
Actually Costs

Most clients invest $100–$250 per user per month, depending on security and compliance needs - flat, month-to-month, no hidden fees.

We publish our pricing because you shouldn't need a sales call to learn a number. But the number is only part of it. What you're really paying for is the expertise behind the coverage and a partner focused on helping you grow your business.

Shane stepped in as our interim CTO and quickly became an invaluable asset to our team. His exceptional rapport-building skills allowed him to seamlessly integrate with our existing team, rapidly earning their trust and respect. Shane took the time to understand our technology stack, our workflows, and our unique challenges, and provided insightful, actionable recommendations that significantly optimized our software development processes. His strategic perspective and hands-on guidance enabled us to streamline operations, improve productivity, and set a clear path forward. We couldn't have asked for a better interim CTO and highly recommend Shane to any team seeking impactful technology leadership.

I'd start a business all over again just so Shane could take care of it start to finish. Usually guys with his level of competence have a massive ego and instead we're getting a constructive force that really moves the needle. Super quick to respond to everything. Thanks Shane. You're the best. Having you around makes a big difference.

Questions Owners Ask

Have Questions? Good.

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. 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.
