Who We Are

Established in 1994, Collective was founded by the late Ed Taylor, a visionary entrepreneur. Collective was formed to address the challenge brought by the growing complexity of IT technology through the active collaboration and sharing of the best minds in our industry. We’ve remained true to our original goals and have expanded upon Ed’s vision by developing proprietary automation technology and proven methodologies.

Collective has successfully delivered over 7 million hours of consultative services to thousands of customers across a wide range of industries. The average tenure of our principal and senior consultants is 19 years. Our industry-leading recruiting practices ensure that we attract and deploy bright and innovative minds who understand the current technology landscape.

This enables us to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
