BOOK A FREE CONSULTATIONA 40-person company in Houston hits a point where technology decisions stop being simple. You're evaluating a new ERP system and the vendor quotes are $80,000 apart. A potential acquisition has a tech stack you don't understand. Your cyber insurance carrier is asking questions about your security architecture that nobody on your team can answer. These aren't helpdesk problems. They're strategic decisions that need someone who has been through them before - and a full-time CTO at $250,000+ a year doesn't make sense for a company your size.
That's exactly where fractional CTO/CIO services fit. You get someone at the table who has evaluated enterprise software, led post-acquisition integrations, built cybersecurity programs from scratch, and managed IT budgets in the tens of millions - applied to your business at a fraction of the cost. Not a consultant who writes a report and disappears. A technology leader who knows your environment, attends your planning meetings, and makes the call when you need a decision, not a slide deck.
CinchOps brings 30+ years of enterprise technology leadership to the table. That includes senior roles at Cisco, NinjaOne, Delinea, Tidal Software, and Digital.ai - plus multiple PE and VC-backed exits. We've built technology organizations from the ground up and optimized them for acquisition. For Katy and Houston-area businesses with 10 to 200 employees, that experience translates into technology decisions that are grounded in what actually works - not what a vendor is trying to sell you.
We've also led engineering and software development teams through every stage of growth - from early-stage startups building their first product to mature organizations scaling for an exit. For PE and VC firms, we provide the technical due diligence that deal teams need before close and the hands-on integration work that makes the investment thesis hold up after. That means assessing code quality, evaluating technical debt, auditing infrastructure, sizing up engineering team capabilities and organizational structure, and building the roadmap that gets a portfolio company's technology from where it is to where it needs to be. Pre-acquisition, we tell you what you're buying. Post-acquisition, we make it work.
CinchOps is a managed IT services provider based in Katy, Texas, serving small and mid-sized businesses across the Houston metro area including Sugar Land, Cypress, The Woodlands, and surrounding communities. If your business has outgrown break-fix IT but isn't ready for a full-time executive, we're the answer.
