Compass Computing Group: 25 Years Strong and Going

25 years is a significant milestone, and one that Compass Computing Group (CCG) is thrilled to celebrate this year. CCG founders Robert Phillips and Frank Bubenik join us in a stroll down memory lane as we look back at the growth and evolution of their organization.

A Lot Changes in a Quarter of a Century

Compass has experienced many changes in 25 years, and even more so in an evolving and cutting-edge field like IT. Phillips recalls one of CCG’s earlier projects for Oregon’s Multnomah County, a decision support system that was used by judges to determine what type of sentence to impose on offenders:

“The users would enter a bunch of parameters into an Oracle database, and then, based on the database analytics, they could identify the type of sentence that would be recommended for the offender, hopefully one that would make them less likely to reoffend. It was a pretty big deal and a pretty slick tool.”

CCG got its start during the early days of AI and developed websites that did more than just serve as a marketing tool – they actually did data processing. Originally focused on custom software developments, CCG eventually branched into IT staffing, before moving on to becoming Portland’s leading managed services provider (MSP).

CCG Client Retention Is Strong

CCG is proud to still have several of their original MSP clients from years ago.

“We very rarely lose a client,” Bubenik pointed out. “We might have some who come and go, especially around software development, but then they will come back a year or two later with another project.”

Take a quick look at CCG’s testimonial page, and it becomes evident why their clients stick around for the long haul:

• “CCG came on the scene and assessed our system, identified several defects, and fixed them. Through this process they learned the ins and outs of our business and devised a plan to streamline our process and enhance our efficiencies. Suffice it to say, we are 100% satisfied with CCG.” – Sunshine Division
• “With CCG’s help not only was our VBA program imported into VB, but it was also improved and enhanced through CCG’s creative ideas. CCG’s dedication (they worked the weekends by our side), insured our timely completion and our client was thrilled with the results.” – Bates Private Capital
• “I would highly recommend CCG to other organizations, as we found their staff to be very professional, fast, and have excellent technical expertise.” – Leupold

The Next 25 Years

CCG prides itself on creative solutions that solve business problems. They love to see their partner clients grow and thrive and look forward to nurturing long-term client relationships.

“Continuing to grow the company, giving small to medium-sized businesses the ability to leverage the power of the cloud for their business. It’s been a good ride. We’re looking forward to many more years to come,” Bubenik said.
