We help organizations understand how work actually moves through their business - then advise, build, or both. Enterprise architecture, AI operations, systems integration, and custom development from a team that's been doing this for 30 years.
Joust is a technology consultancy founded by Ron Davis, former CTO and technical leader at Monks, Firewood, and SapientRazorfish. We've built enterprise platforms for Google, Meta, Netflix, LinkedIn, PayPal, and others. We have a bias: we think you should understand how work actually moves through your organization before you buy, build, or migrate anything. That's where we start.

We design and build the technical foundations that complex organizations run on. Headless CMS, composable platforms, multi-site frameworks - architected for scale and built to connect with everything else in your stack.
We map how work actually flows through your organization, identify where AI and automation can make a real impact, and build the solutions to get you there. Workflow-first, not tool-first.
When off-the-shelf doesn't cut it, we build what's needed. Custom applications, data pipelines, internal tools, and integrations - engineered for your specific requirements, not bent to fit a template.
Sometimes you need a senior technology leader in the room without adding to headcount. We provide fractional CTO services, technology roadmapping, and hands-on guidance for organizations navigating complex decisions.
Think of it as a second opinion before you commit to anything expensive.
We map how work actually flows through your organization—not the documented workflows, the real ones. Every recommendation comes with dollar figures, specific tools, and a phased implementation plan.
Complete catalog of how work actually moves, with time and cost estimates.
Every workflow scored for automation potential with recommended tools.
Savings estimates including time recaptured and revenue impact.
Phased plan (quick wins to strategic) with timelines and investment.
Board-ready overview your leadership team can act on immediately.
Organizations ($10M-$100M) with knowledge-intensive work. For teams skeptical of generic AI pitches looking for real operational depth.
We can advise, we can build, or we can do both - depending on what your team needs. Our engagements are on-demand and tailored to the project, whether you need a full engineering team, a fractional CTO, or a focused sprint on a specific problem. We can also hand off a clean blueprint for your team to run with.
Ongoing partnerships, fixed-rate projects, or time and materials - whatever model works, we make it work.
