Clarity for
what's ahead.

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.

We've been
in the room.

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.

Our Services

 

Architecture & Integration

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.

  • Headless CMS & Composable Architecture
  • Systems Integration (CRM, PIM, ERP, Analytics)
  • Multi-Site & Multi-Brand Frameworks
  • Platform Migration & Modernization

AI Operations & Automation

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.

  • AI Operations Audit
  • Workflow Automation & Optimization
  • Custom AI Tool Development
  • AI Readiness Assessment & Roadmapping

Custom Development

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.

  • Custom Web & Application Development
  • Ecommerce Development
  • Data Engineering & Analytics Infrastructure
  • API Development & Third-Party Integrations

Advisory & Transformation

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.

  • Fractional CTO / Technical Advisory
  • Technology Roadmapping & Strategy
  • Digital Transformation Planning
  • Vendor Evaluation & Selection

The AI
Operations Audit.

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.

Workflow Inventory

Complete catalog of how work actually moves, with time and cost estimates.

Opportunity Map

Every workflow scored for automation potential with recommended tools.

ROI Projections

Savings estimates including time recaptured and revenue impact.

Prioritized Roadmap

Phased plan (quick wins to strategic) with timelines and investment.

Executive Summary

Board-ready overview your leadership team can act on immediately.

The right team,
built around the work.

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.

Let’s get
to work.
