Twenty Years in IT.
Here Is Why I Started Lowery Solutions.

I have seen the same pattern repeat for twenty years.

A business is running fine. IT is handled by whoever is cheapest or most convenient. Maybe it is a managed service provider they found years ago. Maybe it is a guy they call when things break. Either way, the arrangement works until something goes wrong.

A key employee leaves and takes the passwords with them. A vendor gets breached. Someone clicks the wrong link. And suddenly a business that thought it was covered is scrambling. Not because the owner was careless. Because nobody ever sat down with them and told them what they were actually exposed to.

I have watched this happen to law firms, contractors, medical practices, and professional services companies all over the Austin and Cedar Park area. The businesses that get hurt are rarely the ones ignoring IT entirely. They are the ones who assumed they had it covered.

Most small businesses have IT. Almost none have visibility.

There is a gap between having IT support and knowing where you actually stand. Security posture. Compliance exposure. Who has access to what. Where your sensitive data lives. What your employees are connecting to company systems. These are not complicated questions. They just never get asked.

Part of that is on the IT industry. The traditional managed service model is built around keeping things running, not around giving clients a clear picture of their risk. You get a help desk. You get patches. You get a monthly invoice. What you rarely get is someone who looks at your environment and tells you what is actually worth worrying about.

AI did not create new problems. It made the old ones move faster.

Two years ago, most small businesses could get away with a basic IT setup and reasonable hygiene. The threat landscape has shifted. Tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and dozens of others are now embedded in how people work every day. Your employees are using them whether your IT policy says so or not.

The question is no longer whether AI is in your environment. It is whether any of that is happening with your client data, your financial records, or your credentials flowing through systems that were never designed for it. That is a real exposure, and most businesses have no idea it exists.

This is not about being anti-technology. I use these tools. My clients should too. But there is a difference between using AI intentionally and letting it run through an environment with no guardrails. One makes you more productive. The other creates exposure you cannot see until it is too late.

A free assessment. No pitch. No pressure. Just a real answer.

I built the AI risk assessment because I kept having the same first conversation with potential clients. They did not know where they stood. They were not sure who to trust. And they definitely did not want to sit through a sales presentation just to get a baseline answer about their own environment.

The assessment takes about ten minutes. You answer questions about your current setup, how your team uses technology, what kind of data you handle, and where you might have gaps. At the end, you get a real score and a breakdown of what matters most for your specific situation.

I built it that way on purpose. My belief is that the first step in any client relationship is to actually help. Not to qualify you, not to run you through a process, and not to upsell you before you have a reason to trust me. Start with honesty and let that be the foundation.

You should know who you are taking advice from.

I am Jeremy Lowery. I have been working in IT for over twenty years, across enterprises, managed service providers, and everything in between. My background is deep in Microsoft 365, compliance, cybersecurity, and the operational side of IT that a lot of consultants skip over because it is unglamorous and hard to put on a slide deck.

I started Lowery Solutions because I wanted to do this work differently. Direct relationships. No ticket queue between you and me. No outsourced first-level support giving you scripted answers. When you work with Lowery Solutions, you work with me.

I am based in Cedar Park. I work with businesses across the Austin metro area, and I take on remote clients when the fit is right. The clients I work best with are professional services firms, law offices, and small to mid-size companies that have outgrown whoever they started with and want something built for where they are actually going.

If that sounds like where you are, start with the assessment. It costs you nothing and takes ten minutes. If what you see there opens up a conversation, I am easy to reach. If it does not, you will still walk away knowing more about your environment than you did before.
