Jenatech, LLC · Ballwin, Missouri

Senior technology work for owner-led businesses — and the people buying them.

Jenatech is a small, senior technology practice. For acquisition buyers: fixed-fee digital diligence that finds the domain, DNS, SEO, and credential landmines before you close. For owners: automation, cloud, and digital transformation, delivered and handed over clean. Thirty years of enterprise IT behind every engagement.

Digital Diligence for Acquisition Buyers

Don't close on a business until you know who controls the domain.

Pre-close technology assessment for acquisition buyers. I find the domain, DNS, hosting, SEO, and credential gaps that kill deals after close — in 48 hours, for a fixed fee.

You just bought a $1.5M HVAC company. The financials checked out. The lawyer blessed the contract. The tax structure is clean.

Then Day 3 post-close happens:

  • The website goes down because the seller's nephew controlled the DNS and he deleted the records.
  • The Google Business Profile — 47 reviews, $400K/year in organic leads — is locked to the seller's personal Gmail and he won't transfer it.
  • The email SPF records break and customer invoices start bouncing.
  • The analytics account was under the seller's name and now you have zero visibility into what marketing actually works.

None of this was in the LOI. None of this was caught by your lawyer. And now it's your $40,000 problem.

That is what digital diligence catches.

Three levels of digital diligence

Entry is always free. Pricing comes when you need documentation.

The Practice

Automation, cloud, and transformation for businesses already running.

The same seniority behind the diligence work, applied to owners who are staying put. Five practice areas, delivered as advisory and implementation in the same engagement.

01

Automation & AI Systems

Practical automation across content, marketing, operations, and intelligence workflows. AI agents for the jobs they are good at — research, monitoring, curation, and routing. Lean infrastructure, owned outright by the client.

02

Cloud & Platform Engineering

Cloud architecture sized for the business in front of us rather than a reference architecture. Azure for enterprise-scale work, Cloudflare Workers and Pages where lean delivery is the better answer. Identity, DNS, access, security, observability.

03

Digital Transformation

Replacing rented SaaS stacks with integrated platforms the owner controls outright. Booking, pricing, payments, content, review, and channel systems delivered as one platform rather than a dozen subscriptions, with source-code and credential ownership from day one.

04

Post-Acquisition Transition

The post-close half of the acquisition arc. Thirty-sixty-ninety day transition plans, vendor cutovers, credential and DNS handover, and a clean operational handoff — whether or not Jenatech ran the pre-close diligence.

05

Virtual VP of Operations

Part-time operations leadership for owner-led businesses that have outgrown running everything from the founder's head. Jenatech owns the systems, vendors, metrics, and team rhythms — and documents the playbooks so the role can pass to staff or a full-time hire later.

How We Work

Principles that don't bend

Advisory and implementation together

Strategy documents are not a deliverable. Jenatech stays through planning, build, launch, and the early months of operation. If it does not go into production, it does not count.

The client owns everything, day one

All code, all accounts, all credentials, all DNS, all data — in the client's name from the first invoice. No black boxes, no lock-in, no consultant walking away with the keys.

Sized to the business

Free-tier and lean-stack infrastructure first, paid tooling when the business clearly needs it. The right answer for a fifteen-room property is not the right answer for a regional health system.

Built to be handed off

Every engagement is structured so the client can run the system after Jenatech steps back — documentation, training, and access in place from the start. Ongoing support is available, never required.
