CleanSlate

What CleanSlate does

CleanSlate Technology Group is a US-based cloud transformation consultancy headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, founded in 2000 and operating for 25 years. The firm delivers enterprise consulting services across four practice areas: Data and Analytics (including generative AI, AI/ML, data lakehouse, and data migration and modernization), Cloud Modernization and SaaS (SaaS product development, DevOps, cloud architecture, and product design), Cloud Migration (VMware, database, legacy application migration, and AWS Migration Acceleration Program engagements), and IBM Software (IT asset management, ILMT, Flexera, and AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment). Its core technology stack is built on AWS, with additional depth across IBM, Azure, and Databricks, and a generative AI portfolio that runs on Amazon Bedrock (including Anthropic Claude), Amazon Q, and Databricks AI/BI Genie.

The company's proprietary AI offerings comprise four productized solutions — AI Knowledge, AI Automate, AI Lakehouse, and AI Assistant — augmented by a Data Lakehouse Accelerator that delivers AI-ready data foundations in as little as eight weeks. CleanSlate holds AWS Premier Tier Services Partner status (fewer than 1% of partners worldwide) and IBM Platinum Business Partner status with Expert Competency Levels across Data Analytics, Security, Cloud, Automation, and Sustainability, and is a Databricks and Flexera partner. These relationships underpin access to AWS MAP funding and IBM Passport Advantage optimization programs.

CleanSlate generates revenue exclusively through custom, quote-based professional services engagements with enterprise clients, typically structured as multi-year contracts and sourced through direct enterprise sales, partner referrals, and co-sell motions with AWS and IBM. Disclosed customers span financial services, insurance, education, manufacturing, and digital-native SaaS, including Herff Jones, Delta Faucet, Katz Sapper & Miller, Group 1001, Lincoln Learning, and a global insurance company for which CleanSlate assessed and modernized 319 Db2 workloads. The firm is privately held, led by CEO Chris Konow, with 51–100 employees and a fully hybrid operating model.

Product overview

CleanSlate Technology Group is a cloud-native consulting and technology services firm offering a portfolio of interconnected service practices centered around cloud modernization, data and AI, and IBM software. The core portfolio is organized into four main practice areas: Data & Analytics (including Generative AI, AI Acceleration, Data Lakehouse, Data Migration, and Data Modernization); Cloud Modernization & SaaS (covering SaaS product development, DevOps, Cloud Architecture, and Product Design); Cloud Migration (encompassing VMware Migration, Database Migration, Legacy Application Migration, and the AWS Migration Acceleration Program); and IBM Software (including IT Asset Management, ILMT Services, Flexera for IBM Licensing, and AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment). Within Generative AI specifically, CleanSlate delivers four enterprise AI solutions — AI Knowledge, AI Automate, AI Lakehouse, and AI Assistant — and leverages Amazon Q, Amazon Bedrock (with Anthropic Claude models), and Databricks AI/BI Genie as key platforms to build and scale customer AI solutions. The DevOps practice brings expertise across AWS developer tools (CodeCatalyst, CodeBuild, CodePipeline, CodeDeploy), infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitLab), containers (Docker, Kubernetes, Fargate, EKS, ECS), and monitoring (CloudWatch, Splunk). The IBM practice provides deep expertise in IBM licensing, ILMT deployment and managed services, and Flexera as a certified ILMT alternative. All practices are delivered through CleanSlate's AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and IBM Platinum Business Partner relationships.

Direct peers

• Slalom: Mid-sized business and technology consulting firm with a strong cloud, data, and digital transformation practice serving enterprise clients. Closely comparable in target customer (enterprise modernization) and service portfolio (cloud migration, data/AI, SaaS development) though substantially larger in scale.
• Caylent: AWS-native consulting firm focused on cloud modernization, data lakehouse, and generative AI implementations for mid-market and enterprise customers. Direct peer given similar AWS Premier-tier focus and AI/lakehouse delivery practice.
• Trek10: AWS Premier Tier consulting firm specializing in cloud-native application development, data analytics, and serverless architectures. Comparable in AWS Premier positioning and cloud-modernization service mix.
• ClearScale: Cloud consulting and managed services firm focused on AWS migrations, application modernization, and data engineering. Direct peer given similar AWS-centric cloud transformation delivery model for enterprise and digital-native clients.
• Flux7: AWS Premier Tier consulting partner providing cloud migration, application modernization, and DevOps services. Direct peer in AWS Premier credentials and cloud-modernization service portfolio.
• NorthBay Solutions: Cloud and data consulting firm focused on AWS and Azure data lakehouse, AI/ML, and application modernization. Direct peer in data lakehouse and AI/ML services delivered to enterprise clients.

Broad incumbents

• Onix (now Accenture Cloud First): Google Cloud-focused consulting firm acquired by Accenture. Comparable in cloud transformation and data/AI services, but now part of a much larger global incumbent with significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
• 2nd Watch (now part of Slalom): AWS-native managed services and consulting firm now part of Slalom. Comparable in cloud and data engineering services for enterprise, with similar AWS Premier heritage, but backed by a larger parent post-acquisition.
• Accenture: Global consulting giant with a major cloud, data, and AI practice (including AWS, IBM, and Databricks partnerships). Indirect competitor on the largest enterprise transformation deals; the scale benchmark CleanSlate is unlikely to match but the firm whose partner ecosystem and talent pipeline overlap most.
• Deloitte Consulting: Global professional services firm with a large cloud transformation, analytics, and AI practice and deep AWS / IBM alliance relationships. Serves as a 'broad incumbent' benchmark for the largest enterprise cloud engagements CleanSlate competes against or partners with.
