Our Story
Revolution Group began as Revolution Software in 1995 when Rick Snide and Polly Clavijo sketched out a business plan on the back of a napkin. As friends and co-workers, they wanted to establish a company that embodied the core values that made businesses great. They envisioned a company based on great personal relationships — with clients, with suppliers and within the organization. They were passionate about helping companies grow and achieve success with technology. They set out to build a business based on that mission and those values.
They began as an IBM consulting partner working from home offices. But as the technology that drove business changed, so did the services they offered and so did the scenery. As customers grew, so did Revolution. From IBM to Microsoft infrastructure to Salesforce and ERP solutions… from home offices to a small Clintonville office and eventually to the current Westerville space. From Revolution Software to Revolution Group. From two employees to almost 80.
Refreshed branding, new collaborative office space and a new name … all part of the evolution of Revolution Group.
Rick and Polly began the journey that built Revolution Group into a company named to the Fortune 5000 and Columbus Business First Fast 50 for several years running. And, even more importantly, they built a thriving workplace that has been one of the Best Places to Work in Columbus for five consecutive years.
Today, Revolution Group services companies across the US in nearly every industry with its three business divisions: Technology Services, Salesforce CRM Services, and Manufacturing ERP Services. The Technology Services division helps small and medium businesses with all of their technology needs, including managed IT services, special project management, cloud hosting and virtual CIO services. The Salesforce CRM Services division helps businesses implement and optimize Salesforce and builds custom solutions on the Force.com platform. The Manufacturing ERP Services division deploys, implements and integrates ERP systems for manufacturing plants throughout the world.
Together, the three divisions make up Revolution Group, a thriving firm that believes our customer’s success is our success. Together, we can achieve great things.
