Interlock was founded in 1994 by four engineers who believed technology should serve the business — not the other way around. Three decades later, we still operate that way. Our first client is still our client.
In 1994, four business associates came together to form Interlock. They brought in key staff as Computer Systems Analysts — each one personally known to the partnership — creating an expert team forged from an intricate web of business relationships now stretching beyond 30 years.
Our first client engagement was scheduled to last two weeks, beginning in 1995. We still have that client. We dedicate four full-time staff to their needs.
That's not an accident. It's the consequence of a discipline we've held since day one: understand the client's business deeply, then bring technology to it — never the reverse.
Four engineers form Interlock with a single principle: solutions over technology, people over products.
A two-week project becomes a three-decade partnership. Still active today.
Dedicated cybersecurity team, MSSP capability, and 24/7 monitoring stand up alongside our managed services.
Houston-based private cloud infrastructure and tested disaster recovery become standard for our clients.
Average client tenure of 10+ years, deep certifications across the enterprise stack, and a team of senior engineers Houston businesses know by name.
We focus on updating computer systems for organizations with smaller IT staffs, or those whose workload won't allow them to undertake lengthy, complex projects. Engagements normally include systems and communications infrastructure design, installation, and management — and often custom software to support core business processes.
We typically spend three or more years on an engagement, and frequently retain ongoing relationships for systems operations and software support after the major work is complete. Our clients are small to mid-sized businesses — a private school, a large private money management firm, a national nutritional supplement manufacturer — and in every case, we send people who care about their work.
Every solution is built with protection at its core. We don't bolt security on at the end — we design for it from day one.
Meticulous attention to every deployment, configuration, and runbook. Sloppy work compounds; clean work scales.
Technologies and teams that work together without friction — internally for our team, externally for our clients.
We operate as an extension of your team, not as a vendor selling hours. The result: relationships that last decades.
Over the course of our engagements, the trust we earn means many clients come to us for support outside the technical sphere — general management consulting, business and strategic planning, and executive coaching.
That dual fluency — speaking technology and speaking business — is the difference between an MSP that fixes things and a partner that helps you make better decisions.
