Our Story

Prescriptive Data Solutions was born in 2017 out of friendship, shared experience, and a healthy dose of curiosity. A group of engineers—friends who had spent years in the trenches of IT—kept running into the same frustration: the industry was full of vendors pushing products, but few truly understood the day-to-day reality of running technology in a live environment.

We saw a gap. Companies didn’t just need someone to sell them hardware or software—they needed partners who could listen, understand their challenges, and design solutions that actually worked. Solutions created by people who had been there, who knew what it was like to be on the other side of the table, and who cared enough to get it right the first time.

So, over countless coffee-fueled conversations, ideas and planning, we decided to build the kind of company we’d always wished we could work with. One built on trust, collaboration, and a genuine love for solving problems.

From the start, our mission has been simple: combine deep technical expertise with real-world experience to help our clients succeed—not just in a single project, but for the long haul. We’ve grown from that small group of friends into a tight-knit team of engineers, architects, and problem-solvers who still share the same core belief: when you care about the outcome, everything else falls into place.

Today, Prescriptive Data Solutions continues to thrive on the same principles we were founded on—authenticity, collaboration, and an unapologetic passion for technology. We don’t just provide solutions. We roll up our sleeves, geek out on the challenges, and work side-by-side with our clients to create outcomes that last.

About Us

At Prescriptive Data Solutions, we’re more than technology providers—we’re problem-solvers, puzzle-finders, and an extension of your team. Our people come from the other side of the table: former customers, IT leaders, and hands-on engineers who have faced the same challenges you deal with every day. We’ve been in your shoes, felt the pressure, and navigated those late nights and “fire drill” moments. That’s why our approach isn’t like everyone else’s.

When you work with us, you get a direct, transparent partnership. We don’t split our technical team into pre-sales and post-sales silos—the engineer you meet on day one is the same engineer who will see your project through to the finish line. You’ll get honest conversations, real pros and cons, and solutions designed to fit your business—not a cookie-cutter template.

Our engineers don’t just do the work—they love the work. We geek out on technology, dive into complex problems, and take pride in delivering results that last. Delivering a project is only part of the job. Our real goal is to leave you stronger, more confident, and fully in control. We believe in empowering your team through education, transparency, and co-managed solutions that fit your environment today and evolve with you tomorrow.
