Aeolus completed a full migration to Rippling over the course of a year to replace its homegrown HRIS platform and consolidate HR data and payroll into a single source of truth.

Aeolus is a fractional CIO practice built on a simple conviction: the companies that most need strategic IT guidance are the ones least served by the options available to them. Assess. Align. Execute. We start at the strategy layer — mapping your technology environment to where your business is going, then building the roadmap that connects IT decisions to revenue, growth, and transaction readiness. Every recommendation is independent. Aeolus earns a single monthly advisory fee, not vendor commissions. What sets Aeolus apart: • One relationship — direct access to senior technology leadership, the same person, every engagement • One fee — a monthly retainer, fully independent, no hidden incentives • Full-stack coverage — IT strategy, M&A due diligence, cybersecurity, cloud, compliance, AI adoption, and business continuity • A curated Marketplace — pre-vetted vendors sourced with your interests, not ours Founded in 2021. 20+ years of IT leadership. 11 completed M&A transactions. 3 companies built and sold. Aeolus serves growth-stage businesses — scaling past $5M, preparing for acquisition, or ready to move IT from reactive management to real strategic leadership. Month-to-month terms. A 30-minute discovery call is where it starts.
