What Avout does

Avout is a Denver, Colorado-based IT staffing and consulting firm founded in 2010 by Barry Wiebe that specializes in Oracle enterprise technologies and adjacent IT services for enterprise clients. The firm operates as an Oracle Gold Partner and Microsoft Certified Partner, leveraging a 25-plus-year talent network and a lean corporate structure built on 1099 contractors to deliver resources at lower cost than traditional consultancies. In 2015, Avout acquired Pacific Crest Technology (PCT), adding 18 years of solution delivery and a global project management office that extended its capabilities beyond Oracle into SAP, Workday, Salesforce, and Microsoft Dynamics implementations.

The company's service portfolio is organized around Oracle-centric practices (Oracle Application Services including R12 upgrades with automated tooling, Data Conversions and Migrations, Oracle Cloud for SaaS/PaaS/IaaS, and Oracle Licensing assessment and negotiation) and broader IT services (Cloud Integration bridging on-premise and cloud, Staffing including a dedicated healthcare practice, fixed-price Projects, executive-level consulting, and ITIL-based Managed Services offered at AID and MANAGE tiers). Core technology components include automated R12 upgrade tooling claimed to reduce cost up to 70% versus traditional methods, automated EBS realignment tools, Oracle eBusiness Suite and Oracle Cloud integration layers, and standardized data-conversion pipelines. Pricing is quote-based and varies by project scope, duration, and skill level; managed services are typically sold on multi-year subscriptions, while staffing and project work operate on contract or fixed-fee bases.

Avout's go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with executives (CEO Barry Wiebe and VP of Sales Terry Daley) engaging directly with CIOs, CTOs, and VPs at prospective clients. Named enterprise customers include VCA Antech (veterinary services), Follett Corporation (education/retail), an unnamed telecom provider, and an unnamed leading manufacturer (10+ acquisition-related data conversions in five years), spanning healthcare, veterinary, education, retail, telecommunications, and manufacturing verticals. Revenue is generated through four streams: contract IT staffing, fixed-price project delivery, multi-year managed services, and Oracle licensing advisory; no revenue is publicly disclosed and the firm remains bootstrapped with no institutional investors.
