About Stack Intelligence

The Senior Team Behind Software That Pays Off

Somewhere in your company, there's a software license nobody opens. We're the team that fixes that. Stack Intelligence is a senior-led enterprise software consulting firm in Beachwood, Ohio. We work with commercial, public sector, and federal clients whose needs go past the out-of-the-box setup, and today most of that work runs on Salesforce.

Trusted by Enterprise Teams as a Salesforce Consulting Partner

Logos of Texas Instruments, American Express, Fiserv, Autodesk, Target, Honeywell, Dell and Delta Air Lines have worked with Stack Intelligence on Salesforce.

The Problem We Kept Walking Into

Picture a company that just spent serious money on new software. A year later, half the licenses sit unused. The real work happens in spreadsheets. Everyone talks about the new tool, and everyone works around it.

We saw that again and again. Then the invoice showed up. Big-firm rates paid for account managers and approval layers, plus slide decks about a project that was barely moving.

So, we made a bet. A small, senior team could get the same result faster, with fewer people in the room and one clear owner for the outcome. Stack is that bet.

How We Got Here

Naj Irshad and Shantanu Bhardwaj go back to their Ohio State days. In 2018, Naj started Stack Intelligence in Cleveland as an Atlassian Solution Partner. The team was small and senior, with a habit of owning the result.

It worked. Over five years, more than 100 clients trusted us with their Atlassian tools. In 2023, Isos Technology acquired that practice, and we opened our next chapter the same year. Shantanu co-founded our Salesforce practice, and the senior-led model came right along with us.

Our Mission

Our Vision

Be the partner other tech firms get measured against. That means senior people on every project and bad news delivered early, with accountability that doesn't clock out at go-live.

Our Values

  1. Client Outcomes Come First

    We plan every project around one question: what will be different for your team when we're done?

  2. No Surprises

    If a risk, a delay, or a change is coming, you'll hear it from us first, and early.

  3. Trust by Default

    We assume good intent, from clients and from each other, and give people room to do their best work.

  4. Celebrate the Wins

    When someone does great work, we say so out loud. That goes for our clients' teams, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stack Intelligence helps organizations get real value from the enterprise software they've already paid for. We work with commercial, public sector, and federal clients whose needs go past the out-of-the-box setup. Most of our work today is Salesforce, from consulting and implementation to integrations and managed services.

Naj Irshad founded Stack Intelligence in Cleveland in 2018, and he still leads it as CEO. He and Shantanu Bhardwaj go back to Ohio State University. Shantanu later co-founded Stack's Salesforce practice, which launched in 2023 after the company's early years as an Atlassian partner.

Yes. Stack became a Salesforce Consulting Partner in 2023. Since then, we've taken more than 30 implementations live and earned a 5.0 out of 5 customer rating on the Salesforce AppExchange. The senior-led way we worked before Salesforce carried straight over.

Yes. Public sector and federal agencies work with us alongside our commercial clients. Since 2022, Stack has held a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, so federal buyers have a simpler path to hire us. Government projects get the same senior team and the same focus on results.

Isos Technology acquired it in 2023. Isos is a private equity-backed firm building one of the largest Atlassian partners. By then, more than 100 clients had trusted Stack with their Atlassian tools. After the sale, we put our full attention on Salesforce and the systems around it.

Stack has 57 full-time people, and more than 20 of them are in the US. That includes consultants, architects, and delivery leaders. We keep project teams small and senior on purpose. Fewer people in the room means faster calls and one clear owner for the result.
