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 data platform whose AI agents run ad campaigns directly across four ad networks (Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit) — and a secure, HIPAA-aware platform for a major mass-tort 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 with direct integration into four ad networks — Google, Meta, TikTok, and Reddit — that create, target, and optimize campaigns autonomously, plus MCP tooling that lets agents operate your real systems.

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.

AI DEMAND GEN

AI Customer CRM & Ad-Ops

We build you a customer CRM wired for AI-driven ad-ops — agents that create, target, and optimize acquisition campaigns and unify every lead into one funnel. The same engine we run on ourselves.

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

Twenty-five years of enterprise software. Now built around AI.

Upper Strata has built enterprise software since 2000 — for DIRECTV, Viking, First American and more — and today we build and operate the data platforms and AI agents behind modern products: a player data platform at tens of millions of accounts with agentic ad-ops, and secure systems for high-stakes legal matters. Senior-led, focused on one thing: shipping enterprise AI that actually runs.

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