At slashBlue, we believe purpose precedes technology. We first help clients get in touch with their purpose, then apply the right technology to help them live it out. As an IT services provider we’ve helped transform and grow engineering firms across the Twin Cities and beyond by providing expert performance consulting, IT design and support services. Sure, we do organizational performance, technology consulting and support. But, that is just a means to an end. Purpose pushes technology. It’s the real mother of invention. Necessity would never have felt the need to get off the ground nonetheless lay the coolest set of tire tracks ever on Mars. Purpose’s unrelenting desire to understand the universe put that rover there, and it’s the force that moves humanity forward. We believe in purpose. We know tapping into it is how real progress is made. If we sound more like XPRIZE than an IT services firm, that’s not by mistake. We’re catalysts too, called to advance the world one client at a time. Our way is to put purpose first and let technology follow. For us, technology is never the solution, it’s simply the tool—a supercool tool at that—but still just a tool.
