What Lone Star Tech, Llc. does

Lone Star Tech, LLC is a Dallas, Texas-based private technology services firm that helps mid-market and enterprise organizations plan, execute, and operate modern cloud, automation, Microsoft 365, data, AI, and email security initiatives. The firm delivers work through six service pillars: Advanced Cloud Services (cloud strategy, migration, security, FinOps, VDI across public, private, and hybrid environments), Automation Design (Infrastructure as Code, Terraform/Ansible, CI/CD, orchestration), Microsoft 365 Services (email and file migrations, Intune/Defender endpoint security, Teams governance, licensing), Data & AI (data foundations, Power BI/Tableau analytics, Azure OpenAI/Cognitive Services-based AI solutions, AI readiness and governance), Tech-on-Tap (subscription-based on-demand access to senior certified technologists), and Email Brand Intelligence (DMARC/SPF/DKIM domain spoofing and phishing protection).

The firm is anchored by Managing Partners Jarrod Johnston (nearly three decades of technology leadership) and Karl Binger (over 30 years spanning technical architecture, delivery, and organizational leadership), who direct strategy, technical direction, and client engagement. Underlying technology spans AWS, Azure, GCP, Microsoft 365, DevOps and automation tooling, and data/analytics platforms; proprietary branded packaging exists around Email Brand Intelligence and Tech-on-Tap rather than patented core IP.

Commercially, Lone Star Tech generates revenue through four streams: project-based professional services, Tech-on-Tap subscription/bucket-of-hours engagements, ongoing managed cloud services, and Microsoft licensing resale via its Cloud Solution Provider relationship. Distribution is direct and consultative — website-driven consultation booking, email, and phone outreach with no disclosed reseller or marketplace channels — targeting organizations needing technology leadership, additional capacity, or specialized skills they lack in-house. The firm is privately held, founder-led, and shows no evidence of institutional investors or parent company ownership.
