The company
A practical IT consulting partner for technology work that needs to improve.
PPS is an independent, veteran-led IT consulting and advisory company. It helps leaders address problems involving technology governance and ownership, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, stalled or high-risk IT initiatives, and technology-enabled operations, processes, documentation, and adoption. Cybersecurity readiness and responsible AI governance remain supporting capabilities within that broader IT consulting practice.
The firm is designed for leaders who need a technology problem clarified, corrected, modernized, recovered, documented, or moved forward without unnecessary consulting complexity.
The promise
Clients should expect direct advice, usable work products, clear expectations, and a candid distinction between verified facts, open questions, decisions, risks, and implementation tasks.
Operating principles
Clear evidence. Clear ownership. Clear next actions.
- Start with the business problem, not the tool.
- Establish what is true before recommending change.
- Make ownership and decision rights explicit.
- Prefer practical, maintainable governance over unnecessary complexity.
- Document recommendations so the organization can act after the engagement.
How PPS works
Governance and documentation are operating infrastructure.
PPS uses a controlled advisory and implementation method intended to make decisions easier to understand, execute, verify, and hand off.
Governance that works
Shape roles, controls, policies, decision rights, and lifecycle practices around how people and programs actually operate.
Documentation that moves work
Use inventories, findings, policies, procedures, decision records, and roadmaps to support execution and accountability.
Controlled implementation
Move agreed decisions into remediation, modernization, recovery, or process improvement with a clear written scope, acceptance criteria, and change control.
Clear expectations
Confirm responsibilities, evidence needs, timing, deliverables, working assumptions, and price in writing before delivery begins.
Calm candor
Name uncertainty, risk, and constraints without hype, fear-based selling, or promises outside PPS control.
Where PPS fits best
Use PPS when the technology problem is also an ownership, delivery, Microsoft 365/SharePoint, or operating problem.
PPS is best suited to organizations that need clearer governance, a controlled Microsoft 365 or SharePoint modernization, recovery of a stalled technology initiative, improved technology-enabled processes, stronger documentation and adoption, or responsible governance before expanding AI capabilities.
Common signals
- No one can clearly explain who owns key technology decisions.
- Policies, SOPs, inventories, or decision records are incomplete or outdated.
- Permissions, sharing, lifecycle, or cleanup practices are inconsistent.
- A migration, rollout, or project is moving faster than governance and delivery controls.
- Leadership needs a prioritized path and accountable implementation before authorizing further investment.

Founder & Principal Consultant
Joseph Riviello
Joseph Riviello founded and owns Patriot Professional Solutions LLC and leads the firm as its Founder & Principal Consultant. PPS was created to give organizations a practical way to turn technology uncertainty into clear ownership, documented decisions, and an executable path forward.
As a former U.S. Army Captain, Joseph brings a service-minded operating perspective shaped by discipline, accountability, planning, and clear handoffs. PPS applies that perspective to IT governance and policy, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint modernization, documentation and process improvement, cybersecurity readiness, technology planning, project recovery and execution, and responsible AI governance.
Why PPS was founded
PPS is built around a straightforward operating belief: technology problems are easier to solve when the current state is established, decision rights are explicit, risks are visible, and the next actions are documented.
Consulting perspective
- Governance and documentation: usable controls, clear ownership, and maintainable operating practices.
- Microsoft 365 and SharePoint: modernization, permissions awareness, migration preparation and execution, remediation, and decision clarity.
- Technology planning and delivery: practical roadmaps, project recovery, decision records, risk tracking, implementation controls, and executive-ready deliverables.
- Cybersecurity and responsible AI readiness: governance disciplines with clear specialist boundaries where deeper technical or legal work is required.
