Katy, Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch
Managed IT services for Katy businesses on the I-10 and Grand Parkway corridors
Talos Automation gives Katy companies an outsourced IT department: monitoring, security, help desk and planning, for firms from LaCenterra office suites to Katy Old Town storefronts.
The short answer
Talos Automation is the managed IT provider for Katy companies of 10 to 250 people in Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne and Katy Old Town. Greater Katy spans Harris, Fort Bend and Waller counties and more than 350,000 residents, so we plan for growth, Energy Corridor vendor security and flood recovery, with on-site support across Greater Houston.
Who it's for
Katy industries and the IT each one needs
The city has about 25,000 residents, but greater Katy tops 350,000, anchored by Katy ISD, LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, Katy Mills and the professional and medical offices still moving west along I-10 and the Grand Parkway.
Professional services
Law, accounting and consulting firms in the Cinco Ranch and LaCenterra office parks need secure document sharing, dependable email and a help desk that answers.
Healthcare and dental
Clinics and specialty practices near Katy Medical Center and Memorial Hermann Katy need HIPAA controls, encrypted devices and a provider that signs a BAA.
Real estate and construction
Brokers, builders and developers working Katy's master-planned communities need laptops and phones that behave the same in a model home, a site trailer or a truck.
Energy and engineering services
Subsea, midstream and engineering vendors serving the Energy Corridor from Katy need security strong enough to pass their customers' vendor reviews.
Retail and franchises
Multi-location retailers and franchise operators around LaCenterra and Katy Mills need PCI-aware point-of-sale networks run as one estate.
Private schools and nonprofits
Independent schools, churches and nonprofits across the Katy ISD footprint need student and donor data protected on a modest budget.
What we cover
Managed IT services in Katy
Everything a Katy office needs from IT, under one flat per-user fee and with no long-term contract.
Managed IT support
Help desk, patching and proactive monitoring for Katy staff, plus on-site visits when a problem needs hands rather than a remote session.
Cybersecurity
EDR, email security, MFA, round-the-clock monitoring and awareness training: the same layered stack for a ten-person Cinco Ranch office as for a larger firm.
Cloud services and Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365, Azure and hybrid migrations, including SharePoint, Teams and Intune device management for staff who split time between Katy and downtown.
Network infrastructure
Structured cabling, Wi-Fi and firewalls for new buildouts and relocations in Cane Island, along the Grand Parkway and on the I-10 frontage.
Backup and disaster recovery
Copies stored well outside the Buffalo Bayou and Brazos watersheds, with a tested recovery runbook shaped by what Harvey did to Katy.
IT strategy and consulting
Roadmaps tied to your growth plan, budget forecasts that avoid surprise capital spending, and quarterly reviews. The advice is vendor-neutral.
Compliance support
HIPAA safeguards for Katy clinics, PCI scope control for retailers, and the documentation Energy Corridor customers ask their vendors for.
Business phone systems
Talos Connect cloud phones for Katy offices, with existing numbers ported and calls that can follow staff to their laptops.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Katy, Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne and Katy Old Town are all part of our on-site support across Greater Houston. Most issues are fixed remotely first; when hardware, cabling or an office move needs a person in the room, a technician comes to you.
ZIP codes 77449, 77450, 77493 and 77494, covering Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, Katy Old Town, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, Falcon Ranch and Cane Island, along with Fulshear, Brookshire and the far west side of Houston.
Harvey showed how quickly Katy can flood. Every continuity plan we build here keeps backups outside the Brazos and Buffalo Bayou watersheds and includes a written recovery runbook that we test with your team, so restoring after a storm is a rehearsed routine rather than a scramble.
Katy firms typically pay $100 to $300 per user each month. Where you land depends on the security tools you need, any compliance obligations and whether we run all of IT or support your own staff. The price is flat, and the agreement runs month to month.
Yes, and it is a frequent Katy project. We handle Microsoft 365, Azure and hybrid moves end to end, including SharePoint, Teams and Intune. If an aging phone system is due for replacement at the same time, Talos Connect gives you cloud business phones as part of the same plan.
Yes. Katy owners get a technology roadmap linked to their growth plans, a budget forecast so capital costs are expected, and a quarterly review that connects spending to outcomes. We recommend what fits your business, not whatever pays us the best margin.
Yes. We design and install wired and wireless networks for new buildouts and moves along I-10 and the Grand Parkway, and the office runs our full security stack from day one: EDR, email security, MFA, monitoring and staff training.
