Co-Managed IT Services in Houston, TX

An MSP takes over your IT for a monthly fee. Co-managed leaves you in control — you keep strategy and decisions, and we act as your certified local execution and field-service team, paid only for the work. No retainer, no loss of control, just dependable hands on the ground in Houston.

No. Stratos carries its own commercial insurance for the work we perform, so you do not need to provide coverage for our installs — that reduces your risk and liability.

No. Co-managed is pay-per-work — you pay only for the projects and field services we execute, which is the real saving versus an internal team or a monthly retainer.

Yes. We sign NDAs and confidentiality agreements for your projects, and our own crews — no subcontractors — do the work.

Yes. If you do not have a clear design, we provide the consulting and design first, then execute and support it. You can hand us a finished spec or a problem to solve.

A traditional MSP takes over your IT and charges a monthly fee for it. Co-managed is different: you keep the parts you want — strategy, vendors, decisions — and we become your execution and field-service arm, paid only for the work we do. There is no monthly retainer and no loss of control. You stay the IT authority; we are the certified hands that make the plan real on the ground in Houston.

It is the right fit when you already have an IT director, a remote team or an out-of-town MSP that owns the environment, and what you actually need is dependable local implementation and support — not another provider trying to run everything.

An internal field team is a year-round fixed cost: salaries, our-carried commercial insurance would instead be your burden, paid vacations, sick days, tools, vehicles and idle time between projects. You pay for all of it whether the work is there or not. Co-managed converts that into execution you buy only when you use it — a rollout, a project, overflow help — with no headcount to carry in the slow months.

Because we carry the insurance, own the logistics and warranty our workmanship, you also shed the risk and overhead that come with doing installs in-house. Any figures we discuss are estimated ranges until we scope your project, and the on-site assessment to get a real number is free.

The everyday work is execution to your spec: structured cabling, network and Wi-Fi, security cameras and access control that your director or MSP designs and we install and document. Beyond that we cover multi-site rollouts of one standard, overflow support when your internal team is buried, one-off projects, migrations, equipment swaps and scheduled maintenance. For multi-building sites we also run point-to-point wireless and fiber to tie the locations together.

Across all of it there are no subcontractors — the people who plan the work are the people who do it and support it afterward, under NDA when your projects require it. That single-team accountability, plus real-time reporting and communication, is what lets a remote or in-house IT leader hand us the field work and trust it is handled.

We provide co-managed IT execution and field services across the Houston metro from Katy: Houston, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, Pearland, Pasadena, The Woodlands and Conroe — and we serve as the Houston implementation partner for multi-site businesses and out-of-state teams operating across Texas.
