About

Two decades of building software — and running it

Dana Consulting Inc. has been developing software for more than twenty years. We are headquartered in Minnesota, our engineering teams are in Europe, and our support operations span three continents.

Most development firms build software for other people and then hand it over. We do that too — but we also own and operate four SaaS products of our own. Our teams have spent years on the other side of the relationship: answering support tickets, responding to incidents, deciding what to re-architect, and keeping systems customers depend on available around the clock.

That changes how we build. We are careful about the decisions that are expensive to reverse, direct about the ones that are not worth arguing over, and realistic about what software costs to operate after launch. Clients tend to notice it first in the questions we ask during discovery.

We work with funded startups and midsize companies, mostly in the United States, across every industry — the engineering problems rhyme more than the industries differ. Our deepest technical expertise is in the Microsoft ecosystem: .NET, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, and Azure, alongside modern web technologies, API and cloud architecture, and current AI and LLM platforms including Azure AI.

Engagements with us tend to be long. A project becomes a roadmap, a roadmap becomes a product, and a product needs support. We are set up for that, and it is the relationship we are looking for.

Operating model

Three regions, one accountable relationship

United States

Headquarters, leadership, and client management

Our Minnesota office holds technical and project leadership. Clients work with senior people in their own time zone who are accountable for the engagement.

Europe

Software engineering

Our engineering teams are based in Europe. This is where development happens, and where we can add experienced capacity quickly when a project needs it.

Asia

Support and operations

Support and operations staff in Asia complete the coverage map, which is what makes continuous 24×7 production support practical rather than theoretical.
