Codeworks began in 1995 when Mark Theisen, a software developer, recognized the need for a software development consulting firm that provided high-level quality talent at reasonable rates. There was a lot of competition popping up in the IT consulting industry at the time, but he saw companies that were inefficient and charging big markups. He knew it could be done in a way that better served both the consultant and the client.
Since 1995, Codeworks has specialized in providing exceptional IT staffing, project delivery, and consulting services at very competitive rates. The unwavering focus on their clients’ rapidly evolving technology needs has propelled Codeworks to become a leading staffing firm, proudly serving Fortune 500 organizations, technology start-ups, and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) across the United States.
But what about INNOVATION? What’s so innovative about finding top technology talent and matching them to great opportunities? For Codeworks, innovation often comes in the form of looking at traditional situations with a new or different lens or approaching those situations with a fresh approach.
CLIENT STORIES
In one situation, a potential new client was readying themselves for a significant implementation of Workday. They had already chosen a top global Workday partner as their primary implementation team but were concerned about how they would manage that partner on a day-to-day basis and really know whether they were on the right track and getting the value they deserved from that implementation partner. Codeworks stepped in to provide talent that would augment the primary implementation partner and act as a trusted advisor for the executive leadership team.
In another situation, an executive leader at a manufacturing company had recently taken over responsibility for a rapidly growing software division. This leader was confident that they were doing some things right and overall moving forward but felt like there was a lot of improvement that could be made both within the digital product and software engineering teams. Codeworks engaged in an in-depth one-day assessment of the software division’s people, process, and technology.
The executive leader of the software division summarized the value in this way, “The assessment by Codeworks confirmed some beliefs that I already had, uncovered some important items that need to be investigated further, and significantly shifted my perspective on a couple of items that will be key to moving forward effectively.”
