A Company Culture Built to Give You IT Stability

Curiosity solves problems. First by defining the problem, then by solving it.  And you can’t do that without a problem-solving culture.

We’d Like to Propose a Trade

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You give us your IT problems, and we give you time, energy and that peaceful, easy feeling

Technology should do two things: Extend your capabilities and simplify your job. Ideally, both at the same time. So you can focus less on tech, and more on growing your business, serving your customers, or streamlining operations.

Because when your tech works for you, everything else starts to fall into place.

We’re an EOS Company

Here’s Why that Matters

EOS® — the Entrepreneurial Operating System — brings structure, accountability, and clarity to organizations for scaling effectively.
4-1

Motion

Employees have a sense of movement, direction and involvement

2-1

Peace

Our clients breath a little easier, knowing we’re organized enough to carry our promises through

3-1

Process

And it’s all because we talk about problems before they happen and think through decisions

Everyone wants to work with an organized, thoughtful company. EOS gives us a sober approach to running a business, and it keeps everyone feeling a little more organized and connected.

Our Values

And why they might matter to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Human Experience

At Koltiv, user experience principles join with a good old fashion “I like you. We’re on the same side of the table. Let’s figure this out together, in a way that works for our relationship” style of thinking. Whether you’re an employee, vendor or client, 
it’s serving people first before pushing buttons or diving into the code.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Character

Ethics, which is communicating truthfully and well. It’s also keeping those promises and reducing the number of surprises that put strain on our relationships, as we communicate early and often. If we keep our eye on integrity, we’ll find ways to grow, we’ll discover areas we’re weak, and no matter what direction the market takes, we’ll remain grounded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problem Solving

If we lacked curiosity and were just interested in getting tasks and transactions done, we wouldn’t really be problem solvers. Whether it’s an app dev project, MSP, or just something that’s getting in between us and a staff member, we’re interested in understanding the problem with extra curiosity, leading to lasting solutions and relationships.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ownership

Being fully engaged is worth it. It fuels all of our other values and personality traits. We love what we do, and we’re not rushing through tasks just trying to get things done. For us, understanding the solution means understanding the problem and the use case. We take the time to understand what’s going on, slow down and really dig in.

Making Lives Better Since 1980.

45+ years of “Making Lives Better”

Today, Koltiv continues its tradition of innovation, bringing enterprise-level IT expertise with hometown service to businesses ready to transform their relationship with technology.

In fact, the name “Koltiv” gets inspiration from the word “cultivate,” showing our desire to cultivate relationships -- and our commitment to the solutions to serve those relationships.

Community Doesn’t Just Happen

It Takes Community Members Giving Back With Purpose, Not Obligation

It’s why we’re committing 1,500 hours of service to our communities over the next three years — 500 hours a year, so that we can put our commitment to work.

Community is becoming a bigger part of who we are. It’s now central to our purpose, not just a footnote. Whether we’re solving technical challenges or showing up for people outside our walls, we believe success means more when it’s shared.

If You Don’t Feel Connected, You Probably Aren’t

If so, that’s not on you.

IT feels complex when you have 
unanswered questions. That’s why, at Koltiv, it’s not just about us being able to competently understand and solve IT issues. It’s about being able to pick up the phone and get access to your team. And it’s the backbone of our process.

Curious about the details of our process?
