Design session, then a BOM
Campus, colo, oil-field networking, compliance, Teams rooms. Same people who will rack it, write the as-built, and take the follow-up on contract.

Eight practices. One Texas bench.
Capabilities, use cases, and the catalog categories that actually attach. If a pillar is not listed, we will say so — we do not staff a fake transformation practice.
Campus · WAN · SD-WAN · OT
Network infrastructure
Routing, switching, campus fabrics, and WAN/SD-WAN designed by CCIE-grade engineers — sold, racked, and left with as-builts you can operate.

Colo · Private cloud · Houston West Campus lineage
Data center & compute
Cabinets, compute, storage, and interconnect — rooted in Houston-area colo history, built for operators who still need metal.

Campus · Warehouse · Field
Wireless / Wi-Fi
Predictive surveys, controller or cloud-managed Wi-Fi, and the switching underneath so wireless is not a hope-based overlay.

PCI-DSS · HIPAA · SOX · GLBA · FISMA
Cybersecurity & MSSP-aligned services
Architecture and operations that survive an auditor: firewalls, identity, logging, and retainers that actually pick up the phone.

Microsoft Teams · Rooms · Voice
Collaboration, Microsoft UC & corporate AV
Rooms, telephony, and collaboration that staff will actually use — Microsoft Teams, calling, and the network that carries them.

Shared · VPS · Dedicated · CloudPanel
Cloud hosting & infrastructure
CloudPanel hosting on Texas metal — shared, VPS, and dedicated narratives — plus public/private/hybrid architecture. Free signup path. No WHMCS tax.

Cloud hosting without WHMCS lock-in
CloudPanel on Texas metal, Laravel for signup, QuickBooks for invoices. You do not need a billing monster to host a PHP site.
