Enterprise experience, sized for small firms

I'm Jeff Patrick. I spent more than 25 years building and fixing technology for some of the largest companies in the world. Now I bring that experience to solo, small, and boutique firms that deserve the same quality of IT guidance.

Most recently I was a Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, supporting Oil, Gas & Energy customers. Before that I worked as a developer, SharePoint architect, and consultant for Chevron, BP, Hess, and Gimmal, including supporting BP during the Deepwater Horizon crisis response. I also co-founded Data Frontline and served as its CTO.

Along the way I noticed something: small law firms often run the same Microsoft tools as large enterprises, but without anyone to set them up properly or connect them to the practice management system they rely on every day. I started Clariplex to close that gap, beginning with the seam between Clio and Microsoft 365.

I work directly with every client. No account managers, no handoffs to junior staff. When you call, you get me.
