We are enthusiastic about cloud solutions - Windows on Azure and Linux on AWS. When developing our own platforms, we use Node.js, Javascript and Riak, with a heavy emphasis on REST. When architecting solutions, we typically use Microsoft-stack components and .NET. We prefer open-source.

Too many programs and consultants take complex problems and try to solve them with even more complex solutions - solutions that are expensive, and usually have to be fixed themselves sooner rather than later. But is this really necessary? Is it really solving anything? We don't think so.
At Near State Solutions, our goal is to build open-source, freely-licensed software. And then we provide the human element to make it work for your situation.
We're here because we believe that the best tools are ones that are simple and useful. And we believe that in the right hands, they can help create something useful, profitable, even beautiful - whatever you imagine. So we design systems that are tailor-made for your business needs, and then provide training and support to help you maintain them effectively. We help you imagine what's possible with the right tools, and then build those tools for you. We're with you from creation and installation, to integration with your current systems, and beyond.
We make it simple, because it should be.
