ABOUT EGS

Experience built
over decades.

EGS has helped organizations modernize systems, improve operations, and keep technology running. One relationship handles the full picture. Leadership never has to manage it alone.

OUR STORY

A small firm, by design.

The client list has been intentionally short. The relationships have been long.

Since 2001, EGS has served a small number of organizations by choosing them carefully, learning their operations deeply, and staying long enough to be part of the institutional memory. Twenty-five years with the National Police Defense Foundation. Six years with the Orange County Youth Football League. Active engagements with organizations that hire EGS because they need the technology layer to actually work.

Depth is the model. It has been since the founders were the team that took a New York direct access brokerage off the floor and onto the internet, just as stock trading became a national pastime.

Along the way the partners built and backed ventures of their own: trading platforms, games, products. Some grew, some stalled, some failed. Each one sharpened the same understanding: execution, not ideas, is where organizations live or die.

HOW WE DELIVER

Two modes. One relationship.

Every engagement runs one of two ways.

Client work

For work like websites, cloud infrastructure, membership systems, ecommerce, and day-to-day IT operations, EGS delivers with its own team. Full technical capability is in-house. The client works directly with EGS from initial engagement through implementation and into the long operational relationship that follows.

Platform work

For high-consequence platform work like financial systems, complex backend architecture, and custom platform ventures, EGS defines the product, manages the development, and operates the platform. The technical build is delivered alongside by a partner firm, founded by long-standing collaborators the EGS team has worked with since before either firm existed.

In either mode, the client works with EGS.
The best measure of our work is how long the relationship lasts.
LEADERSHIP

EGS is led by two partners who have known each other their whole lives and worked together since the late 1990s. Between them, nothing falls between business and technology. Mike wants it better. Rick gets it done. Every client has both: the ambition and the deadline.

Rick C

Managing Partner

Rick works at the intersection of client relationships, product, and operations. He understands what an organization needs from its technology before a single platform is chosen, and has spent decades making sure what gets built actually serves the people using it.

Mike C

Managing Partner

Mike builds and operates the systems underneath everything EGS delivers. He has stood up complex technology environments across multiple industries, and is the reason what EGS implements keeps running long after the initial work is done.

The future will create new challenges.
Our mission remains the same.

Helping organizations modernize, operate, and grow. With the same team, in the same relationship, for as long as it takes.
