About Us

testimonials-banner-img

We are based in Madison, WI. Of course we like cheese, hockey, and hanging out at the Union Terrace on the University of Wisconsin campus. We are lucky to have wonderful people on our international teams that bring a new perspective on work, food, sports, music, so many things. We like meeting new people. We like figuring out how to work with people and companies. We do good work. We definitely are not perfect, and since starting Augment in 2015, we are still learning everyday.

Vision

We started Augment in 2015 because we know how integral software (mobile apps, digital products) is to companies. That is still true today. And now AI is a big piece of creating digital solutions, both for development and bringing more intelligence to the final solutions. It's exciting. But there are a lot of steps around understanding use cases and data readiness that companies must tackle before AI becomes even more integrated with digital products.

We provide a cost effective, yet pretty amazing solution so companies can rapidly iterate. We’re happy working on the mundane, which includes maintaining software platforms and fixing bugs. But we also love to work on the cutting edge. More and more, this includes having a heavy focus on data readiness, management and governance to ensure companies meet their analytics and reporting goals now while preparing for the future of AI.

It's at the intersection of technologies where next generation applications will be built. We want to build the future, while happily maintaining the past.

Bringing in additional ideas & resources to turn your vision into reality.

Dave Kruse

CEO and co-Founder

Dave Kruse has started and worked with companies across many different industries including technology (big data, predictive analytics, Internet of Things, security), medical devices, real estate and beverages. He likes connecting with and helping companies grow.

In his spare time, Dave likes to hang out with friends and family, read. And he cannot believe that we are on a large rock flying through outer space.

He started Augment with Sajan because many companies are always searching for quality software talent and solutions. The world is a large place with lots of underutilized talent. Augment can help companies tap into this talent. If you're having these issues, let's chat.

Our Values and Culture

We care. At least every month we try to talk about why we build digital products and AI. Our work is not always life changing or things that will save the world. So how do you find meaning in what we do? We try to come back to this. We care.

We care about our families. We care about our friends. We care about our work. We care about our team. We care about our clients.

It's easy to get caught up in the day to day where things can get intense, people can get on your nerves, get stressed about completing a task or project. But if we come back to, We care, it puts things in perspective why we do what we do.

What We DO

We deliver cost effective data, AI and digital solutions to our clients that add business value to their organizations. We know that sounds pretty cliche, but that is what we do. We understand our client's needs, work on a solution together, then we build that solution, launch it and maintain it. And we certainly hope help to make sure that solution actually is a value add for our clients.
