About Us - OpsVance

About OpsVance

OpsVance was founded on a simple but powerful principle: technology should serve people, not the other way around. This philosophy forms the core of our approach - People 1st, Process 2nd, Tools 3rd.

The name OpsVance—short for "Operations Advancement"—reflects our core mission: to advance business operations through strategic technology enablement that puts people first. Founded in 2023 by Kasia and Robert Rutkowski, OpsVance was born from Kasia's vision of a technology consulting company that truly values the human element. After seeing businesses struggle with technology adoption during her career in real estate and facilities management, Kasia recognized the need for a different approach—one that prioritizes people over technology.

What sets us apart is our holistic approach. We don't just implement technology; we take the time to understand your business goals, analyze your processes, and then recommend and implement technology solutions that align with your specific needs. This people-centric approach ensures that technology serves your business, not the other way around.

Based in Connecticut and serving clients throughout Fairfield County, Westchester County, and surrounding areas, OpsVance has become a trusted technology partner for businesses across various industries including healthcare, finance, and technology.

Our Mission & Values

Our mission is to advance business operations through strategic technology enablement, always putting people first and focusing on business outcomes rather than technology for technology's sake.

We call it Technology with a Human Touch — where innovation meets empathy, and where your success is measured not just in system uptime, but in people's productivity and satisfaction.

People First

We believe technology should empower people, not replace them. We focus on solutions that enhance human capabilities and improve the work experience.

Partnership

We view our client relationships as long-term partnerships. Your success is our success, and we're committed to helping you achieve your goals.

Security-Minded

We prioritize security in everything we do, ensuring your data and systems are protected against threats while maintaining usability.

Continuous Learning

We are committed to staying at the forefront of technology trends and best practices, continually expanding our expertise to better serve our clients.
