Enterprise AI & data platforms · since 2000

We build and operate the production AI & data platforms enterprises actually ship.

Upper Strata is a senior-led technology consultancy. Twenty-five years of enterprise delivery, now pointed at AI — strategy through production, and we run what we build.

Established 2000 · 25 years of enterprise delivery · Builders of Player Link — a player data platform with AI agents that run ad campaigns across four networks — and a secure mass-tort platform for PARRIS Law Firm.

The execution gap

Most enterprise AI never ships.

The market is full of AI strategy decks and pilots that die before production. The bottleneck was never the idea — it's the execution: the data foundation AI runs on, the engineering to ship it, and someone senior who will operate it when it's live. That's the part we build.

What we do

From strategy to production — and we run it.

Senior-led engagements that turn AI ambition into systems that actually operate.

START HERE

AI Opportunity Audit

A fast, fixed-fee assessment of where AI and automation create real value — with a concrete roadmap to production.

CORE

AI & Data Platform Engineering

We design and build the production data platforms, pipelines, and CDPs that AI actually runs on.

APPLIED AI

AI Agents & Automation

Custom AI agents and MCP tooling that operate real systems — like the agentic ad-ops we built across Google, Meta, TikTok, and Reddit.

OPERATE

Build-Operate-Transfer

We build it, run it in production, and hand it over when you're ready. Most firms stop at the slide deck.

EMBEDDED

Fractional AI / Data Leadership

Senior, embedded leadership to get a stalled AI initiative unstuck and shipping.

ACCELERATORS

Proven Platforms

Assets we can stand up fast: a litigation claimant-management platform, and a player / customer lifecycle CDP.

Selected work

We ship and operate, not just advise.

Why Upper Strata

Senior builders. Real systems. Enterprise trust.

Built & operated, not just advised

We run production systems — agentic ad-ops, secure data platforms — not slideware. The hard part is shipping and operating it. That's our part.

Senior by default

You work directly with the people who build it. A boutique of senior practitioners, not a pyramid of juniors — boutique speed, enterprise depth.

Enterprise-grade, regulated-ready

Twenty-five years, delivery in regulated (HIPAA / legal) and internet-scale contexts. Not a 2023 AI startup.

About

A 25-year firm, rebuilt for the AI era.

Upper Strata has built enterprise software since 2000 — for DIRECTV, Viking, First American and more. We went quiet through COVID, and spent the years since building the data platforms and AI agents behind modern products. Now we're back, senior-led, focused on one thing: shipping enterprise AI that actually runs.

Your AI is stuck in pilots. Let's ship it.
