25 Years. One Mission.
Help Organizations Move Forward.
We're a cloud and IBM consulting firm that has been doing this work since before "cloud" was the word anyone used. What's changed is the technology. What hasn't is the approach: diagnose before recommending, build with accountability, and measure success by outcomes, not deliverables.
Built on the Belief That Technology Should Work For You
CleanSlate Technology Group was founded on a simple premise: most organizations are capable of more than their technology lets them do. The systems they've inherited, the architecture they've accumulated, and the technical debt they carry are the constraints, not the people, not the strategy, not the market.
We started as a consulting firm focused on IBM infrastructure in an era when that was where the complex, mission-critical work lived. As the industry shifted to cloud, we shifted with it, reaching AWS Premier Tier Partner status in 2024, a designation fewer than 1% of AWS partners worldwide achieve.
What we carry forward from those 25 years is less a method than a way of working. We understand before we recommend, diagnose before we build, and treat an engagement as finished only when the outcome it was meant to produce can be measured.
One of fewer than 1% of AWS partners worldwide to achieve Premier Tier status.
Powered by People
Twenty-five years of meaningful work and lasting relationships. This is the team, the clients, and the partners who built the company we are today.
I have been doing this for almost three decades, and my favorite place came this late in my career.
From our employee surveyThree Things That Are True of Every Engagement
We diagnose before we prescribe
Every engagement begins with COBRA™, a structured assessment of your actual environment. We don't propose an architecture until we know what you're running, what it costs, and where the highest-value changes are.
We define outcomes before we start
Before the first sprint, we agree on what success looks like in numbers, not words: cost reduction percentage, release cycle time, time to first analytics query. Those become the criteria the engagement is judged by.
We transfer capability, not dependency
When CleanSlate exits an engagement, your team owns what was built and knows how to extend it. We write documentation, conduct knowledge transfer sessions, and measure success by how little you need us afterward.
Being surrounded by the sharpest minds in my field.
From our employee surveyDeep Expertise Across a Focused Set of Disciplines
We focus on a specific set of things we do exceptionally well, and we tell clients plainly when a problem falls outside that set.
Cloud Migration
On-prem to AWS, Cloud-to-Cloud, IBM to AWS, and hybrid architectures.
Cloud Modernization
Microservices, containers, CI/CD, serverless, and SaaS product development.
Data Lakehouse
Data platform architecture, governance, analytics infrastructure, and BI enablement.
Generative AI
Use case validation, RAG architecture, LLM integration, and AI governance.
Organization size is small, so bureaucracy is not an issue.

Our Core Values
We each bring unique skills and personalities to the table, but we share the same values. They guide how we show up for our clients, our partners, and each other.
All Hands Alliance
Work for the WE mindset and celebrate the diversity and distinctiveness of our team's skills and experiences. We harness the varied skills and unique talents of all team members to collectively build unstoppable momentum and unimaginable achievement.

Learn and be curious. Innovation motivates us to act, take smart risks, explore new ideas, learn from mistakes, and constantly exceed expectations.

Be a leader and operate to make the company, clients, colleagues, and ourselves better. When we see a problem, we move to solve it with the best interest of our colleagues and the client in mind.

Clients trust us to bring clarity, solve problems, and get it done. They trust us to be the builders and makers who overcome obstacles, find solutions, and deliver results.
Our core values are what make CleanSlate, CleanSlate. Our people use them to guide their daily work, which keeps us focused on delivering great results for our customers.
What People Say in the Anonymous Survey
Low turnover is the part clients end up feeling. The people who start your engagement are usually the ones who finish it, and this is the reason why.
From HR to the CEO there is a level of competence I have never seen in an organization, and I have worked in every environment from a startup with three of us to a multinational with over 100,000 employees.
My coworkers are technically strong, have a great customer mindset, and are dependable when I need help. I respect all of my peers and they respect me.
This organization cares about me as an individual. I am not just a number in a system to grow revenue.
The flexibility here is unmatched. Day to day, and PTO too, is honored with good communication.
Whether it is pickleball, a trip to Nashville, or anything in between, they make sure we have a good time with plenty of chances to actually know each other.
Everyone here has the culture of wanting to do well, and that pushes you and inspires you to do the same.
We Hire Early and Train People Ourselves
Our internship and new grad program is not a summer of shadowing. Interns get real client work, a named mentor, and the same code review everyone else gets.
- Real project work from week one, not busywork built to fill a calendar
- A mentor who is accountable for your growth, not just your tickets
- Exposure to AWS and IBM environments most people do not touch until years into a career
- A genuine path to a full-time offer, which is the point of the program
This summer's intern cohort, outside the office.
The People Behind the Work
We are technologists who enjoy a hard problem almost as much as solving it together. No two days look the same here, and that is how we like it.
What connects us is wanting to do the work better than we did it last time, for each other and for the people who hired us.
"We don't consider an engagement complete until the outcome it was supposed to produce is measurable."
Every Engagement Starts With COBRA™
Before we propose anything, we understand your environment. COBRA™ is that first step, a structured diagnostic that tells you what you're working with and what a path forward actually looks like. In most cases, it's fully funded.
