About us

In the days of large, wooden, sailing ships, shipbuilders would construct their boats on sturdy frames that were very solid, and very level. These frames were typically built out of straight-grained, solid wood timbers and aligned lengthwise down the hull of the ship being built. This large, perfectly squared, and level block of wood was called a “strongback”. A craftsman would build multiple boats on a strongback, always taking care to keep it level and square before starting any new build. Without a properly constructed strongback, any boat built from the shoddy foundation would hardly be seaworthy. Today, strongbacks are often constructed from steel or aluminum, but the focus on sturdy construction and straight and level lines remains just as important as it was in the days of Christopher Columbus.

The IT professionals of Strongback Consulting will be an organization’s strongback. In this 21st century, a company’s IT processes and architecture are the ships for its success and profitability. They must be able to weather the often turbulent seas of technological change. Without a reliable IT architecture, the fleet of ships that is business will not be seaworthy. At Strongback Consulting, we are straight and level with our customers. We will help our customers launch projects to the public. We focus on delivering a reliable, solutions oriented experience to every client. Like those shipbuilders of old, we at Strongback Consulting know that even in this technological age, successful ventures begin on a solidly constructed foundation.
