Build your own secure AI tools — with senior oversight.

LRV gives your company the governance and a private, secure environment to build your own software, apps, and AI agents — across Microsoft and AWS, with senior architects accountable for security and outcomes. We’d rather set you up to build cost-effectively than charge you tolls for every build.

Fractional CTO leadership Microsoft + AWS architecture Private, secure environment No tolls on every build
The problem we solve

You don’t need more software. You need it connected.

Most service and mid-market companies already pay for Microsoft 365 and a stack of disconnected tools. The work that drains margin — quoting, dispatch, compliance paperwork, approvals, re-entering the same data five times — still happens in spreadsheets, email, and people’s heads. We turn those manual workflows into reliable, auditable systems.

Map

We map your value stream live, find the bottlenecks, and hand you a plan to automate them.

Build

Fixed-fee implementations on Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Dataverse, and Azure.

Secure

Identity, access, and governance designed in from day one — not bolted on at the end.

Operate

An ongoing partner that monitors, supports, and keeps improving what we build.

Our edge in the market

We help you build it yourself — and stop paying tolls.

Most firms profit from charging you for every build, integration, and deployment. We do it differently: we set your team up to build its own tools safely, and we get paid for governance and oversight — not for standing between you and your software. We can build it for you, or your team can DIY — software and AI tools — in your own private, secure network.

Build your own (DIY), securely

We provide the governance and a private, secure network where your own team creates its own software tools, apps, and AI agents — modern capability you actually control.

Enablement, not tolls

We can build and integrate for you — but we’d rather set you up to do it cost-effectively yourself, with oversight and proper planning. No meter on every change.

Cost prevention by design

Traditional vendors charge ongoing build and integration fees. We build the tools, guardrails, and governance that help you prevent those costs — with senior people accountable for security and outcomes.

Why LRV Automation

A high-trust advisory firm — not a cheap app shop.

We work more like a law or consulting firm than a vendor: senior partners who are accountable for outcomes. Matthew Langwell leads Microsoft, Jeremy Villa leads AWS, and Ryan Robinson leads value-chain automation — and our edge is teaching your team to build safely, not billing you for every build.

  • Fractional CTO leadership — a senior owner of your technology strategy.
  • Microsoft and AWS architecture and security under one roof.
  • We set you up to build your own tools, apps, and AI agents — securely.
  • Governance and oversight, so AI and automation stay safe and accountable.
  • No tolls: we’d rather prevent build costs than charge them.
Microsoft + AWS stack

Enterprise-grade clouds, applied practically.

We architect on the cloud your business already trusts — Microsoft, AWS, or both — and stand up a private, secure space where your team can build.
