Develop. Guide.
Develop. Guide.
Collab.
Three words describe how we work. We develop the systems you need built. We guide the decisions you cannot afford to get wrong. And we collab, placing senior specialists inside your team for as long as the work requires.
Based in Wisconsin. Working with clients across the United States.
Who we are
Consulting and staffing, from the same bench.
Most firms sell you one or the other. You get advice that stops at the recommendation, or headcount with no opinion about what it is building. ExaSlate does both deliberately. The people who help you shape the plan are drawn from the same bench as the people who execute it.
That means the roadmap is written by someone who will have to live with it, and the specialists we place already understand why the work matters.
More about ExaSlate
Our operating idea
Advice is cheap until someone has to build it. We do both, so ours isn't.
What we do
Three practices, one bench.
Engage any one of them on its own, or move between them as the work changes shape, without renegotiating who you are working with.
Guide
Consulting & advisory
Short, decisive engagements that end in a recommendation you can act on. Architecture reviews, modernization plans, security posture and build versus buy calls.

Why ExaSlate
What you get that you probably aren't getting.
We are deliberately small and deliberately senior. That shapes everything about how an engagement runs, including what we will turn down.
Talk to our teamPractitioners, not presenters
Everyone we field has shipped the thing they are advising you on. No junior bench dressed up as expertise in a slide deck.
Scoped to the problem
A two week assessment, a six month build, or one specialist for a quarter. We size the engagement to the work, not to a revenue target.
Shortlists you can act on
We screen against the actual work, not keyword overlap. Expect a small, qualified slate, usually within days of the intake call.
One name on the outcome
Every engagement has a named ExaSlate lead. Escalation is a phone call, not a ticket in a queue you never see.

Bring us the problem. A stalled project, a decision nobody wants to own, a role you can't fill. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
