Matador Networks

What Matador Networks does

Matador Networks, LLC is a Texas-based managed IT services and consulting firm founded in 2012 by Matt Maupin and headquartered in McKinney, with additional offices across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (Plano, Frisco, Dallas) and in Austin and Houston. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of eight branded service lines spanning managed IT (Matador Desk), managed security with a 24x7x365 SOC (Matador Safe), virtual CIO/technology alignment against GLBA, HIPAA, PCI, NIST, and GDPR standards (Matador vCIO), cloud services (Matador Cloud), VoIP (Matador Voice), business continuity (Matador Recover), Network Operations Center services (Matador NOC), and a recently added secure AI services line (Matador Intelligence) built on the Hatz AI governed platform with native integrations to Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Slack, Monday, and Gmail. Vendor authorizations with Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Netgear, and Microsoft ProPartner underpin its ability to bundle hardware and software with its managed services, positioning the company as an authorized-reseller-plus-MSP hybrid for its customers.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in recurring monthly subscriptions across the managed stack (help desk, patching, monitoring, SOC, VoIP, backup) supplemented by project-based professional services for vCIO engagements, technology assessments, and implementations. The company does not disclose public pricing; instead, it operates a consultative sales motion using phone outreach (972-499-4555) and website contact forms, with custom quotes tailored per customer environment. Sales-led distribution is regional and direct, targeting small to mid-sized businesses across Texas in regulated verticals including accounting firms, community banks, engineering & manufacturing, business services, and general compliance/risk-oriented organizations. Marketing relies on an SEO-optimized website and active blog publishing industry-specific content (FDIC exam preparation, GLBA compliance, ransomware prevention).

The company is privately held, founder-operated, with no disclosed institutional funding, M&A, or leadership changes on record, operating from a lean team (1-10 employees per firmographic data) across six Texas markets. The business model is that of a stable regional MSP extending its product surface through compliance expertise, vendor partnerships, and a thin AI-governance layer rather than through rapid hiring or capital-funded expansion.
