Your IT Partner — Not Just a Vendor

Bobby Cowan founded Ascent Information Management in 2015 with a simple goal: give South Texas small businesses access to the kind of IT support that was previously only available to large enterprises.

With nearly 30 years of experience spanning .NET development, database administration, network engineering, and cybersecurity, Bobby brings a depth of technical knowledge that most IT consultants simply don't have.

What makes Bobby different isn't just his technical background — it's that he runs a business himself. As co-owner of Shiner Dental, he understands the operational pressures, compliance requirements, and technology challenges that small business owners face every day.

When you call AIM, you get Bobby. Not a call center. Not a Level 1 help desk. The person who actually knows your systems, your team, and your goals.
