Why Skilled Operations (aka SkilledOps)?

We started SkilledOps in 2022 because in our experience, after the startup phase, business operations are everything. People in operations roles act as multipliers, aiming to enable those in the organization to maximize their productivity. Private equity companies know this and they often purchase companies, improve their operational performance, and sell them at a multiple. If we can provide that value to businesses before a liquidity event, we can realize that value for current owners through efficiencies and better systems, processes, and roles.

We started out with a focus in DevOps and SecOps but have branched into develop, design, ProductOps and general Operations. We are engaged with several clients in product and tech and they are outsourcing critical work to us at lower costs. We are finding that continuous integration, automation, cloud server optimization, and the associated processes are things that many businesses don’t try. We have been able to bring value in these areas.

We have also begun doing AI technology integration into existing processes and systems. We have built both standalone AI services as well as AI augmentation services for several companies. Our teams are well-trained in both prompt engineering as well as AI innovation and API-level integration. In particular, we can innovate with business leaders in this regard, bringing practical advice and case studies with best practice models to illustrate what is possible with this powerful new technology.

In short, we believe that SkilledOps is the right company for the right time. When you know that your margins can be better, when there is an internal project that you want to build, or when you want a thought partner to imagine how operational strategy can improve your business, we would like to partner with you.
