About
We build it. Then we run it.
Most AI help comes in two flavors: strategy decks that never ship, and tool resellers who don't know your business. We do the opposite — we build the intelligence layer and then run it for you, the way a good managed-services partner runs IT. You don't buy a tool. You buy the outcome — and we're accountable for it.
Ascent Solutions is a Managed Intelligence firm founded in 2026 by Justin Wilborn — an IT leader with twenty years of experience building and running the systems businesses depend on. We work with SMB and mid-market companies ($10M–$100M in revenue) that want the whole picture of their business without hiring a team to build it.
Founder
Justin Wilborn
Twenty years in IT — starting as a teenager, then growing into solution design, networking, identity, and the cloud. I founded a managed-services company in Boise and grew it over six years before moving on. Today I'm a Director of IT, and a lifelong builder of the systems that keep businesses running.
Here's the pattern I keep seeing — across MSPs, professional services, and growing companies: leaders know their own data could tell them more, but the answers are scattered across a dozen tools and nobody has time to connect them. So they buy another AI app and hope. Six months later, nothing structural has changed.
Ascent Solutions takes the managed-services model — the one that quietly runs IT for thousands of companies — and points it at intelligence. We build the layer that brings your information together, and then we run it, so it keeps getting more useful instead of going stale.
How we work
A few principles.
We own the outcome.
Anyone can hand you a plan. We build it, stay, and operate it — and we're accountable for the result, not just the deliverable. Autopilot, not copilot.
Right-sized for your business.
What fits a $40M company isn't a shrunk-down version of what fits a $40B one. We build for the budget and the team you actually have.
Straight answers.
If you're not ready for what you're asking for, we'll tell you. The first look is built so we can be honest with each other before the bigger work starts.
You're never locked in.
We document what we build and train your team on how it works. The goal is a business that's smarter — not one that can't function without us.
Want to talk?
The first call is about whether we're a fit — not a pitch. If we're not the right partner for what you're working on, we'll usually know within thirty minutes.
