Elliston Consulting

Enterprise technology · Worldwide

Systems that talk to each other.

We build, integrate, and lead the technology that mid-market companies actually run on — ERP and CRM, cloud and data, warehouse and order flow, and the connective tissue between them. Backed by more than twenty-five years of enterprise technology leadership.

Practice areas

Five layers, one stack.

Most engagements touch more than one. This is where we work — from the decisions made in the boardroom down to the infrastructure everything sits on.

LeadershipDirection & teams

Fractional CTO & advisory

Technology leadership without a full-time hire. Roadmaps, vendor selection, budget defense, and the build-versus-buy calls that are expensive to get wrong. Includes standing up and managing offshore teams that deliver, and deciding what should be outsourced in the first place.

  • Fractional CTO
  • Enterprise technology consulting
  • Outsourcing strategy
  • Offshore IT team augmentation & management
PlatformsSystems of record

ERP, CRM & commerce

Selecting, implementing, and connecting the platforms the business runs on — so an order that starts in the storefront finishes in the warehouse without anyone retyping it into a second system.

  • ERP implementation
  • Acumatica consulting & implementation
  • Salesforce & CRM
  • eCommerce
ApplicationsBuild & connect

Software development & systems integration

Custom applications where off-the-shelf does not fit, and the integration layer that makes everything else cooperate: APIs, middleware, and dependable data flow between systems that were never designed to speak to one another.

  • Custom software development
  • Systems integration
  • APIs & middleware
  • Order & warehouse management systems
AutomationProcess

Business process automation

Removing the manual steps from the path. Document and eSignature workflows, approval routing, and the quiet handoffs that cost a few hours a day and never show up on a budget line.

  • Business process automation
  • eSignature workflows
  • Approval & document routing
FoundationCloud & data

Cloud architecture, data & AI

The layer everything else depends on. Cloud architecture on Microsoft Azure and AWS, data management that makes reporting trustworthy, and AI applied where it earns its keep rather than where it demos well.

  • Cloud architecture — Azure & AWS
  • Data management
  • Analytics & reporting
  • AI solutions

Specialty practice

Music technology & artist platforms

Our music technology practice is staffed by working musicians, which changes what gets built. Artist and band platforms, booking and availability systems, catalog and streaming data, merch and ticketing integrations, and the back-office plumbing that lets an independent act run like a business instead of a hobby.

  • Artist & band platforms
  • Booking & availability systems
  • Catalog & streaming data
  • Merch & ticketing integration

Approach

Four words, in order.

Every engagement moves through the same sequence. Skipping a step is how projects end up expensive.

First

Strategy

Understand the business before the software. What has to be true in eighteen months, and what is standing in the way today.

Then

Architecture

Design the system of record, the data model, and the boundaries between platforms — on paper, while changes are still cheap.

Then

Integration

Connect what exists. Most of the value is in the seams between systems, which is where most projects quietly fail.

Finally

Execution

Ship it, train the people who use it, and stay accountable for whether it actually worked.

The firm

Our work is mostly translation.

Between what a business needs and what its systems can actually do. Our consultants work across development, integration, ERP and commerce platforms, cloud and data, and technology leadership — more than twenty-five years of it. That range is why we tend to find the real problem a layer below where it was reported.

Engagements run from a single integration to serving as the technology leadership for a company that is not ready to hire its own. We work worldwide — onsite, remote, or through blended teams operating across time zones.
