Technology consulting & custom software development
Modernize the systems
your institution depends on.
Watkyn helps government agencies, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations replace legacy ERP and financial systems, govern AI adoption, and build secure custom software when off-the-shelf products don’t fit. Watkyn also helps growing businesses rescue stalled Quickbase and Caspio apps, replace spreadsheet-run operations, and build the operational software they’ve outgrown.

government delivery
Institutions outgrow
the systems they start with.
When your financial system is nearing end of life, AI is spreading across departments without oversight, or an operational workflow has outgrown its spreadsheets, you need a partner who can turn improvised systems into governed, maintainable infrastructure.
Watkyn brings ERP implementation, AI governance, custom software development on AWS, and Quickbase and Caspio low-code development together in one firm. We understand how public institutions and nonprofits procure technology, operate under scrutiny, and protect the data they hold.
Why institutions choose Watkyn
Public-sector
delivery experience
Formal RFP procurement, structured documentation, change control, and contracts delivered under public scrutiny. We work in this environment, not adjacent to it.
Legacy-system
migration discipline
Full-lifecycle system replacement, data migration, phased deployment, role-based access control, and modern AWS cloud architecture: the hard parts, done in a defined order.
A right-sized
senior team
More accountable than a freelancer, more flexible and affordable than a large consultancy, and operating since 2015. Senior people stay close to the work from scope through delivery.
Our ERP practice is built on full-lifecycle ERP replacement, legacy Microsoft Dynamics migration, government system consolidation, cloud architecture, and disciplined data migration: the same work an Acumatica implementation demands.
What we do
Institutional modernization
Acumatica Cloud
ERP Implementation
Replace end-of-life financial and operational systems with Acumatica Cloud ERP for government, higher education, nonprofits, and mid-market organizations. Our practice is built on prior full-lifecycle ERP replacement and government delivery: discovery, data migration, configuration, training, and support.
Custom Software
Development
When no off-the-shelf product fits, we build it: modern, secure, cloud-native applications for government, education, and nonprofit institutions, delivered under the documentation and change-control standards government contracts require.
AI governance & infrastructure
AI governance platform (in development)
Higher ed adopts AI faster than it can govern it. Watkyn is developing a platform that will give institutions tailorable, framework-anchored AI policy templates (ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF) and manage the governance workflow: documentation, reviews, approvals, committee meetings, and training, all in one place. Until it’s ready to demonstrate, we welcome conversations about the governance model and policy structure your institution will need.
Amplify GenAI
Implementation
For institutions that want GenAI infrastructure under their own control, we offer implementation and customization of Amplify, an open-source, vendor-independent GenAI platform, originally developed at Vanderbilt University, that you run in your own cloud, so your institution gets governed AI without another opaque subscription.
Outgrown what you’re running on?
Commercial work includes Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Johnson & Johnson’s DePuy Synthes, Skydio,
Sandvik, Fluor, Nexira, Group Travel Odyssey, Promotion Plus Sign Co., and Green Zone Recycling.
Did your Quickbase builder leave?
When the person who built your apps moves on, development stalls and the value erodes while the subscription keeps renewing. We pick it up, stabilize it, document it, and keep it running, so you’re never dependent on one person again.
Still running the business on spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets are excellent for analysis and a fragile substitute for an operational system. We move small and midsize businesses off sprawling workbooks and onto a real application, starting with a fixed-fee assessment and a build plan you know before the build begins.
Need a new Quickbase app, a Caspio portal, or broader software for a growing business?
Start with Quickbase Development, Caspio Development, or Small & Midsize Business.
The same six phases, on every engagement
Whether the work is an ERP implementation, a custom build, or an AI governance engagement, we run the same six-phase methodology: structured discovery and requirements sign-off, data migration planning, build, user acceptance testing, change control, deployment documentation, and post-launch support. It was proven on government contracts where the work has to withstand scrutiny. It’s why our clients keep us on for years.
