About IT Integrated Business Solutions
An independent database and cloud architecture practice based in San Sebastián, Spain — delivering enterprise-grade infrastructure and AI-powered solutions to clients across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America since 2006.
Our Story
IT Integrated Business Solutions was formally established in 2006 in San Sebastián, on Spain’s northern Atlantic coast — the umbrella for a database and infrastructure consulting practice founder Ronan Cashell had already been running since 1997. Working personally through the company, Ronan has delivered senior database administration, architecture, and infrastructure services directly to organizations including Ford Motor Company, Hewlett Packard, Vodafone, Proximus/Belgacom, IBM, Niche Group, iCause PBC, and Runner Technologies — alongside ongoing 3rd-line DBA consulting for Penta Consulting and Linnk Support, and AI/cloud architecture work with Insight Solutions.
Over that time, the practice’s technical scope has grown from Oracle, Sybase, and DB2 administration into open-source databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and, most recently, AI-powered infrastructure — AWS Bedrock architectures, fine-tuned language models, and intelligent automation — while keeping the same core focus: making sure your data and infrastructure perform, stay secure, and stay available.
Who We Are
IT-ISS is led by founder and principal architect Ronan Cashell, who brings 25+ years of hands-on database and infrastructure experience to every engagement personally — not handed off to a junior team. For projects that need additional specialist coverage, IT-ISS draws on a vetted network of partner engineers, scaled to the size of the engagement. You get direct access to senior expertise on every project, backed by extra capacity when it’s needed.
