Cortex Innovations
IT consulting & support · Norman, OK
We handle your business technology: computers, network, email, website, and the problems in between.
IT consulting and support for the OKC metro, plus the websites and custom software we've always built. Most fixes happen remotely; on-site visits are scheduled when hardware needs hands.
Most businesses don't need a stack of disconnected tech vendors. They need someone who handles the computers, the network, the email, and the website, and understands how the pieces fit together. That's the whole idea behind Cortex.

Who you're working with
A systems engineer and a developer.
Cortex is Jacob Upchurch and Jansen Matzell. Jacob works across network infrastructure, systems administration, back-end development, and security. Jansen handles front-end development, project planning, and the client side of every build. Between the two of us, a project doesn't have to stop at the website.
The people who scope the work are the people who build it and keep it running. We wouldn't have it any other way.
more about us →Questions
The practical stuff, answered.
What people ask before handing us their technology, their website, or something bigger.
What does "IT consulting" actually mean here?+
It means we handle your business technology: computers, network, email, website, and the problems in between. You call one number instead of juggling vendors.
Do you work remotely or on-site?+
Most issues are fixed remotely over a secure session, which is usually the fastest option. When the fix needs hands on hardware, we schedule an on-site visit.
Can you work on something another company built?+
Usually. We review the existing site or application, explain what's worth keeping, and recommend whether to repair it, extend it, or rebuild it.
Do we have to host with you?+
No, but most clients do because it is easier. Everything we host runs on Cloudflare's global network, and small changes can be live within minutes.
What happens after launch?+
On a hosting and management plan, we handle hosting, monitoring, security updates, backups, performance checks, and routine content changes. If something breaks, we often notice before you do, because we monitor the sites we maintain, and we built the thing, so fixes don't pass through a chain of vendors.
Can you connect the tools we already use?+
In many cases, yes. Forms, calendars, payments, databases, and email systems can usually be wired together when reliable integrations exist.
How does pricing work?+
We start with a real conversation, then give you an exact quote based on the scope.
Do you use AI?+
Yes, carefully. We may use AI to help review code, catch issues, or test edge cases. We do not hand your site to AI and call it done. The final build, decisions, and responsibility stay with us.
How long does a website take?+
A straightforward business site is usually weeks, not months. Applications depend on scope. Either way, you get a realistic timeline before we start.
