People call us thinkers.

That’s because we realize that your project has to do more than just look good. Each Group 7even project is led and managed by one of our Leadership Team members. No matter how many of our associates are at work on your project or how many disciplines are involved, you need only call on one person to get the answers and action you need.

Grant Andres, Partner, Director of Converged Technologies

Grant comes to Group 7even with over 12 years of extensive, in-the-trenches experience architecting, leading and developing enterprise, legacy-integrated J2EE/Java software systems with a heavy concentration converging CRM, ECM and VOIP competencies using custom and open-source software.

I cannot begin to describe the wonderful experience our organization has had with Group7even. We are a not-for-profit that was just starting to put together a marketing plan. We knew more of what we did not want than what we did want. Michelle and her group walked us through the process to the completion of the plan. Then Group7even worked with us to accomplish the steps in the marketing plan. Group7even did the marketing materials including a brochure that gets many positive comments. Our web site was redesigned by the Group7even and is one of the best in our industry. It is very user friendly and has had many hits since it went live. Every business or organization should work with Group7even as they will receive personal, professional, and timely service and products.
