Your VMware renewal isn't a renewal anymore. It's an architecture decision.
Broadcom changed the numbers. Most IT and engineering teams we meet already know they're leaving. The open question is where, and whether the option nobody put on the table is the better one.
You leave with a decision you can defend.

Virtualization platform decision
Every path off VMware, and the case for staying, tested in our lab and priced against your renewal and your team before you commit.
AI agents for infrastructure & IT operations
Pressure to use AI in operations reaches IT before the hard questions are settled: what data it can touch, where it should run, and whether the return justifies the cost. We evaluate each use case across local and frontier models, then build the agents that clear the bar. That might mean alert triage, answers grounded in your runbooks, or plain-English questions against your network data.
Data prep for AI
AI initiatives often fail on the data before the model matters. We reconcile messy, conflicting sources into trustworthy, governed data your agents can actually use: the unglamorous seam where AI projects live or die.
These focuses are where we're aiming right now, not everywhere we've been: odds are we've worked near your problem. If yours doesn't fit what's listed, come brainstorm it with us.

about
Kase Tech is a small engineering practice in Portland, founded in 2026. We're principal-level engineers who spent our careers inside enterprise IT and the firms that serve it, and who never stopped building.

At bigger shops, the promise that won the work, the architecture that got designed, and the thing that finally ships are three documents, owned by three people, and nobody owns the drift between them. When it surfaces, it lands on the person who signed for the outcome. We keep all three in the same hands. It keeps us sharp, and we run it ourselves before we recommend it.
We're small on purpose. There's no bench behind us: the people you meet are the people who deliver, and every project carries our name and pays our bills. Quality isn't a value we put on a slide; it's how we keep existing.
Bring us the decision you're staring at.
Tell us what changed, what you're running, and what makes the next move hard. We'll ask questions, pressure-test the paths, and help you leave with clearer next steps, whether the answer is an engagement with us or not.
