The firm delivers multi-discipline technology planning and implementation services spanning Network Transport, CCTV, Access Control, Audio Visual, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), positioning itself as a single-source expert for projects that integrate networking, physical security, and building technology. Service scope has expanded to include 802.11 and 5G Small Cell deployments, Power over Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure, and Smart Building systems, and the firm is now offering Wireless-, Access Control-, and Lighting-as-a-Service (WaaS, AaaS, LaaS) constructs.

The company's client base is concentrated in the Southwest United States and spans federal, state, county, and municipal government (including City of Tucson, Pima County, Department of Transportation, Ft. Huachuca), K-12 and higher education institutions (Tucson Unified School District, University of Arizona, Pima Community College), architectural and engineering firms (GLHN, The IEF Group, Richards & Bauer, URS), and select aerospace and biopharma accounts (Hughes Aircraft, Allied Research, Ventana Medical Systems). Technical delivery rests on staff holding certifications across RCDD, NTS, OSP, PSP, CWNP, CTS, and DLP, with founder/executive Douglas B. Stewart selected to the BICSI OSP Standards Setting Study Team.

Dplace generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements on a quote-based pricing model with no public rate card. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by direct website inquiries, industry association memberships (BICSI, ASIS International, Infocomm International), and professional referrals. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed funding, no public financials, and a minimal public digital footprint (website copyright 2018, no social profiles or app presence).
