Heart of Texas Network Consultants 2 of 5 checks
Managed IT, security and cloud for small and midsized Central Texas companies since 1992.
Heart of Texas Network Consultants Overview
Heart of Texas Network Consultants is an IT support company whose page titles place it in Waco. Its site says it has served the Central Texas area since 1992. A letter on the site is signed by Paul Kothe, who introduces himself as CEO. The company describes its clients as small and medium-sized businesses and names no particular sectors.
What Heart of Texas Network Consultants sells
The main product is what the site calls its Managed Service Plan. It describes proactive monitoring and maintenance, a live help desk, and 24/7 access to remote and on-site server remediation. The company says its team can act as an outsourced IT department covering servers, network infrastructure, workstations and mobile devices.
The security pages center on a Unified Threat Management appliance, a single device that the site says handles network security, content filtering and updates from one place. They also list spam protection, email encryption and enterprise mobility management.
The cloud pages describe hosted servers, cloud backup, file sharing, Microsoft cloud services and cloud hosted VoIP phones. The home page says a client's server can be housed "on our secure data center" and maintained by its technicians. The site also lists backup and disaster recovery.
The work it points to
The site has a testimonials page with short thank you notes. One is from Tutle & Tutle Trucking, Inc. Another client writes that the company has been its IT resource for more than 10 years. Two notes praise technicians named Marcel and James.
The site gives no case studies and no count of clients. We have not spoken to any of those clients.
How it says it charges
The company says its managed plan is billed at a flat monthly rate, and the home page promises a "Flat-Rate IT Budget". It describes its prices as small business prices without giving any. It publishes no prices. It offers a free consultation, and the chief executive's letter offers to visit a prospect's office.
What its site does not tell you
On the 12 pages we read, the site states no prices, no response times and no contract terms, and it does not say how many people work there. It advertises support 24x7x365 but attaches no guarantee to it.
On certifications, it calls itself a Microsoft-certified reseller and a member of the Microsoft Partner Network, and says its engineers are Microsoft-certified. It names no security or compliance certifications. None of that is unusual for a small provider's website, and all of it is worth asking about before you sign.

Heart of Texas Network Consultants Services
What those services mean, and what to ask
Ongoing responsibility for your systems for a recurring fee: monitoring, patching, support and planning. Ask exactly which devices, users and sites the fee covers, and what is billed on top.
What an MSP isProtection, detection and response: endpoint software, email filtering, firewalls and someone watching the alerts. Many providers resell a specialist for monitoring, so ask who actually does the work and who calls you at night.
Cybersecurity basicsCopies of your data kept where the original's problems cannot reach, and a plan for bringing systems back. Ask how often a restore is tested and how long a full recovery takes.
Backup and disaster recoveryLicensing, administration, security settings and migration for cloud platforms. The platform keeps the service running; backing up your data in it and securing the accounts is still somebody's job, so ask whose.
Google Workspace vs Microsoft 365The provider deals with your software, telecom and hardware suppliers and buys equipment for you. Ask whether it takes a margin on what it sells.
