Our Story & History

Success through promises fulfilled.

Every journey starts with a first step

Every journey starts with a single step and for Connectria, that step happened to be with the world’s largest bank, Deutsche Bank. Followed quickly by our second client, IBM. Since then, we have added over 1,000 clients worldwide. For 25 years, each customer, large or small, has relied on Connectria to deliver on promises made to make it easy to do business with us through flexible terms, scalable solutions, and straightforward pricing. Join us on our journey.

A TRUE EXTENSION OF YOUR TEAM

At Connectria, we don’t just say we can act as an extension of your IT team, we deliver on it. That’s because our structured methodology is complete with pre-sales architects and post-sales implementation team members involved upfront in the pre-sales process, along with dedicated engineering resources that remain throughout a customer’s lifecycle.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

We believe customer satisfaction starts with employee satisfaction. Our guiding principles, also known as our special sauce, ensure that every member of the company is part of the broader team, marching to the same beat in everything we do, and that every decision we make fulfills our mission of providing an unparalleled level of service grounded in honesty, sincerity, and integrity.
