Three partners. One accountable firm.

LRV Automation is a Toledo, Detroit, Fort Wayne & Columbus technology advisory firm built on a simple idea: the best results come from senior people who own outcomes — across the business, the Microsoft cloud, and the AWS cloud — and who set you up to build for yourself rather than bill you for every build.

Our story

A high-trust advisory firm, by design.

Mid-sized companies are told to buy more software, or to hire a vendor who charges for every build and integration. Generic SaaS rarely fits a real operation, and most shops profit from keeping you dependent on them. The result is failed software bets, vendor lock-in, and margin quietly lost.

We started LRV to close that gap — a professional-services firm, like a law or accounting practice, that pairs business transformation with senior Microsoft and AWS architecture. We stand up a private, secure environment where your own team can build its tools, apps, and AI agents safely — and we stay involved for governance and oversight, not to gatekeep your software.

How we operate

Principles we don’t bend on.

  • Enablement over tolls — set you up to build, don’t bill every build.
  • Security and governance are part of the design.
  • Sell business outcomes, not “AI” buzzwords.
  • Microsoft and AWS — the right cloud for the job.
  • Document everything — you own the result.
The partners

Three equal partners, three disciplines.

Like a law or consulting firm, each partner both wins the work and delivers it — and together they cover business transformation, Microsoft, and AWS.

Why it works

The combination is the moat.

Business + both clouds

Value-chain transformation, Microsoft, and AWS in one firm. Most competitors have one discipline; we cover all three, with senior partners accountable for each.

Enablement, not lock-in

We set your team up to build its own tools, apps, and AI agents — securely. You keep the capability and the control; we provide governance and oversight.

You own the platform

Everything runs in your own private, secure environment. No proprietary lock-in, and no tolls for every build and integration.

Let’s build something that lasts.

Whether you’re drowning in manual work or standardizing on Microsoft and need it done right, we’d like to hear about it.
