About Us

We began Workstate in the 1990s, at a time of immense change in the world, where the potential for technology seemed limitless. We felt in our bones that the Internet — this new superpower of connectivity — was the path to places that most people hadn’t yet imagined, places that we and our peers in those early days could see so clearly. Against this backdrop of possibility, our team was sparked by the passion to create meaningful work, fueled by the singular notion that technology could be harnessed to make a difference in people’s lives. 

The proof we were on the right path soon came in our successes. We landed 10 new clients in the first two years, leapfrogging multiple competitors in our space. We replaced agencies who were failing their customers – and we showed our new clients how projects should be done. Clients like Gates Foundation, Dell, Nationwide Insurance, Penguin Random House, Telefónica, OCLC and Scotts recognized that our particular way of doing business outperformed staff augmentation and typical vendor mentality. 

Twenty plus years later, we continue to challenge the status quo by championing our clients’ vision and elevating their business outcomes by harnessing technology for growth and change.

Our mission is to develop long-term, meaningful and straightforward relationships with our clients – what we call “no BS consulting.” The fire in our bellies still is inextricably tied to partnering actively with our clients, instead of the more-typical vendor relationship of develop, collect a paycheck, and move on. The best vendors can build precisely what they’re told. But the best partners roll up their sleeves, dig in and actively work to elevate their clients’ business outcomes.

We had no idea if we were right or not when we started on this path. We just knew we were committed to be better than what we saw in the competitive landscape. What drove us into new territory was the force of our convictions. 

And, what we know now is: Good things come to those who Workstate.
