About Agave IS

Building Software That Handles Real Scale

Agave Information Solutions is a Scottsdale-based software development firm founded by Jason Jacoby in 2008. We specialize in custom software, database architecture, and infrastructure for businesses that need systems built to last.

The Founder

Jason Jacoby has been building technology companies since 1996, when he founded Tempest Telecom — an ISP that became the first Internet roaming service to provide access on all 7 continents. Tempest built a unified AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) platform that combined voice, dialup, WiFi, and satellite connectivity into a single seamless experience for users anywhere in the world.

Tempest merged with a Canadian company in 2006, and Jason founded Agave Information Solutions in 2008. Since then, Agave has developed numerous software projects and web applications for businesses across Arizona and beyond. That 30-year track record of building systems that need to work reliably at scale — from global telecom infrastructure to petabyte-class data platforms — directly informs every project Agave takes on today.

What We Do

We work with mid-market companies and startups in Arizona on long-term retainer engagements. Our core services include:

• Custom Software Development — Full-stack .NET, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL applications built for your specific business requirements
• Database Architecture — Schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning for data-intensive applications
• .NET Modernization — Migrating legacy .NET Framework applications (Web Forms, VB.NET, WCF) to modern .NET 10/9/8
• NAS Infrastructure — Vendor-agnostic QNAP, Synology, TrueNAS, and Unraid deployments for business storage
• Surveillance Systems — IP camera installations with local NAS recording — no monthly cloud fees
• Infrastructure Support — Hands-on network configuration, server installation, and on-site technical support

How We Work

We prefer long-term retainer relationships over one-off projects. This means we understand your systems deeply, respond quickly when issues arise, and make architectural decisions with your long-term interests in mind — not just what's fastest to bill. Our rate is $500/hour, and we're transparent about time and scope. Every project gets a detailed architecture plan before development begins, iterative delivery with working increments every 1-2 weeks, and documentation that ensures your team isn't dependent on us.
