About Collective

The Collective Group is a recognized leader in providing enterprise-class IT services and solutions to large and mid-size companies worldwide. Founded in 1994 as a spin-off of our parent company, Pencom Systems, Collective was formed to address 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 successfully delivered over 5 million hours of consultative services to thousands of customers across a wide range of industries. We thrive on solving the hardest problems and building the most robust and cost-effective IT infrastructures in the industry through our collaborative approach.

Enterprise-Class Services and Solutions

Along the way, we’ve designed, built and managed complex IT infrastructures for such industry leaders as Amazon, American Express, Best Buy, Boeing, Dell, Disney, EMC, Fidelity, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Lucent, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, SAIC, Sprint, Sun Microsystems, Verizon and Wal-Mart. Many of these clients are also our business partners, and we have years of experience delivering services and solutions utilizing the industry's best products. In fact, we’re the partner these companies often turn to when it comes to making sure their product performs to optimal standards in their clients' environment.

Backed by our enterprise-class experience and deep partnerships, we can provide the same extraordinary level of IT services and solutions to your company as well. By “enterprise-class,” we mean just that — high-quality services across multiple hardware and software platforms, supporting integration with vendors, customers, and business partners over diverse networks and the Internet.

We keep our fingers on the pulse of new IT developments, products and services, so we can guide you to the right technology purchases that fit your immediate and long-term needs. In addition, we can serve as your direct link to the major vendors, helping to ensure that you gain full access to their capabilities and resources.

Collaboration for Your Success

Our mission is clear — to help today’s companies fully realize the promise of their technology investments.

IT technologies have grown in complexity beyond the point of individual comprehension. In short, no one person can possibly harbor all the information and expertise needed to make each element of a complex solution perform optimally. True solutions can only result from intense collaboration. We accomplish this through a strong and abiding belief in team work – among our consultants, with our customers and with our business partners. Our experts in server, storage, security, operating systems, database and network technologies all work closely together to understand and craft successful solutions. In fact, that’s why we call ourselves “Collective” - the best minds in the industry, working in close collaboration, supported by the best tools and processes, all focused on providing optimal value from your IT investment.

With Collective, you don’t have to choose between quality and value, or between different technologies or service models. You can have the best of both worlds — the expertise and experience, backed by the customer-centric focus and flexibility you need in today’s competitive markets.

Every customer relationship is centered on —

  • The customer’s solution and success,
    treating each customer as an individual, with specific needs, concerns and goals
  • Constant improvements in services and value,
    including every methodology, model, technique and business process we provide

    ensuring that the customer receives the full advantages of our Collective resources and offerings
