INDEPENDENT. PERSONAL. ACCOUNTABLE.

The person behind Ballantine Technology

Reese Ballantine

Founder, Ballantine Technology

Ballantine Technology is an independent UK technology business focused on practical Microsoft IT and device services. I created Ballantine Technology around a straightforward principle: technology support should be clear, professional and accountable. Customers should understand what is being done, why it is being done and, where appropriate, be able to see evidence that the work has been completed. That philosophy is reflected across our approach to Microsoft environments, device services and QA documentation.

BUILT. TESTED. PROVEN.

OUR MISSION

Professional technology without the corporate theatre.

We want to stay focused on what matters: doing good work, treating people as individuals, communicating clearly and delivering results customers can actually verify.

PROOF, NOT PROMISES

We don’t just say it’s done. We show you.

Ballantine Technology’s QA and Proof-of-Work approach demonstrates how checks, verification and completion evidence can be documented.

See our DEMO-001 Windows 11 rebuild and QA demonstration, including documented verification evidence. DEMO-001 is a sample demonstration and not a customer job.
