1 Rivet excels at rapid IT M&A, complex systems integrations, custom application creation and implementations, data analytics and data migrations using best-in-class on- and offshore talent. The firm is known for its ability to quickly build custom applications, create outstanding user experiences, and harness data analytics to inform decision-making, says Eric Middleton, Partner and CEO of 1 Rivet. “We genuinely love helping clients succeed in their journey by applying our experience, knowledge and best talent to solve their challenges,” Middleton says. “The excitement for us is being embedded in their journey, dedicated to the path they’ve chosen and getting to share the success when they bring a product to market or transform an industry.” Last year, the firm’s 265 percent revenue growth was enough to land it at No. 21. This year, 1 Rivet has more than doubled that number to 570 percent—good enough for the No. 4 overall ranking on this year’s Fastest Growing Firms list.
