House of Brick

What House of Brick does

House of Brick Technologies, L.L.C. is a Nebraska-based, privately held IT consulting and software firm that operates as a subsidiary of OpsCompass, Inc. following a 2020 acquisition. The company serves enterprise customers with complex Oracle and SQL Server estates, providing Oracle audit defense, license optimization, cloud migration services (primarily to AWS, with growing Nutanix and VMware Cloud on AWS coverage), and database performance and infrastructure consulting. Its delivery model pairs certified Oracle, VMware, and AWS architects with high-touch engagements spanning audit response, license entitlement analysis, and hybrid-cloud modernization.

The company's core product is Opscompass, a proprietary cloud governance SaaS platform that performs continuous database inventory, license entitlement comparison, Oracle feature usage monitoring, and drift detection across AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Nutanix, and on-premises VMware environments. Opscompass operates without agents or firewall changes and offers a free Oracle Feature Usage Monitoring tier alongside a quote-based Enterprise tier with audit risk calculation and remediation guidance. The platform is sold both as a standalone subscription and as part of a managed-services engagement in which House of Brick consultants operate Opscompass on the customer's behalf.

House of Brick's go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for consulting and Enterprise-tier SaaS with a product-led growth motion through the free Opscompass tier, supplemented by AWS, VMware, and Nutanix partner channels. The company claims 2,500+ enterprise clients worldwide, $4.2B+ in client Oracle license savings, and 300+ Oracle audits defended, with named customers spanning government (Scottish Government, New Mexico Educational Retirement Board), education (Humber College), and financial services (National Australia Bank, Paysafe).
