About Us

We are not musicians, but we are rock stars.

No problem is too big, too small, or too complex for Essention’s teams and its clients who include Biotech, Government, Technology, and Financial Services giants.

Our Microsoft Technologists know how to solve problems with intranets and websites that are causing your problems with:

  • Process automation and process workflow,
  • Reporting and business intelligence,
  • Application integration,
  • Custom Microsoft apps,
  • Migrations and upgrades.

We’re the most experienced people in the room, but we’re not arrogant.
Our co-founders, Alex and Chris, have over 40 years of combined experience while our senior staff has, on average, 20 years of expertise per person. That’s why we can deliver value and projects –– on time, on budget, and with a high level of efficiency.

We founded Essention in 2007, two years after we developed software to manage land used to conserve the environment for The Nature Conservancy. That open source solution was widely adopted by the conservation community.

We’re not just smart, but we are savvy IT problem solvers.
We enjoy working on big transformational projects and huge client engagements, frequently integrating a few data sources. But we also sweat the small stuff by leveraging the things we've learned to help you use them more easily.

And we always enjoy working on small, quick-turnaround projects with more limited budgets for a wide variety of clients. In fact, many of these have become the catalysts for larger engagements.
