What it does:
Provides IT consulting and integration services to customers in the Midwest region.

Why it's growing:
The company has established internal "centers of excellence." Ideas and information are exchanged online, over the telephone, and in periodic group meetings. This shared knowledge works to clients' benefit, and customers return.

What's noteworthy:
Back around the year 2000, in what CEO Ray Conrad refers to as the "nuclear winter of IT consulting," a group of guys got together to see what lessons could be learned. They realized that what was needed was depth and clarity. California's Lake Tahoe is a deep, clear lake, and this tie to the environment gave the team inspiration-- and a company name.
