What Ascent Enterprise Solutions does

Ascent Enterprise Solutions is a privately held management and technology consulting firm headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, founded in 2010 by Jason Stratton. The firm provides strategy and implementation services to B2B and B2C commerce companies, with an offering that spans strategic consulting, business-process alignment, system procurement and vendor selection, project management, system design and configuration, change management, quality assurance, training, and deployment support. Ascent also operates specialized practices in Data Analytics/AI and Architecture/Integration, applying these capabilities across commerce technology deployments for clients.

The firm does not sell a proprietary software product; rather, it implements and deploys third-party commerce platforms — primarily ERP systems and Order Management Systems (OMS) — guided by a codified four-pillar methodology (Strategy, Procurement, Design, Implementation) branded as the CIO Guide to Large Revenue IT Project Implementations. The team is composed of approximately 13 senior consultants, each with over 20 years of experience in enterprise commerce systems, and the firm claims a 100% implementation success rate over the past decade. The founder serves as Managing Partner, and there is no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, or external ownership stake.

Ascent generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements sold directly to enterprise commerce companies via a consultative sales motion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project scope, complexity, and duration, with multi-year contract structures. The go-to-market is sales-led, supported by a thought leadership content platform ("From the Summit") and direct enterprise relationships, with no disclosed indirect channels, no named software partners, and no public awards, certifications, or regulatory actions on record.
