Tech Stack Optimization
The Technology Scaling Challenge
As companies grow, technology often becomes a limiting factor rather than an enabler. You may be experiencing:
Data Silos
Critical information trapped in disconnected systems
Integration Issues
Manual workarounds and duplicated data entry
Performance Bottlenecks
Systems that slow down under increased load
Scalability Constraints
Technology that can't grow with your business
Tech Debt
Accumulating workarounds that increase complexity and risk
These challenges typically emerge as companies pass $5M in revenue, becoming critical barriers between $10-50M when early technology decisions no longer support scale.
Cost of Inaction: Companies that fail to optimize their tech stack typically see a 30-40% drag on productivity while innovation slows by 50-60% due to resources consumed by maintenance.
