Our Team
Our team of developers is hand-picked from the best we encounter. They often start with us straight out of school or in the first year or two when they are skilled, hungry, and ready to be mentored. That allows us to bring them into our culture and help them advance far quicker than they would in most companies. We are not investing in them as an employee but as a person. This approach helps us to bring along developers early in their careers in a way that rewards them greatly while also providing a bargain for our customers. We do not look for the cheapest resources. Instead, our team works closely to solve complex problems in a way that also keeps each member growing toward the best they can be.
The team has been through several projects and is intentionally kept current in modern technology while being pushed to learn more and add more solutions to their toolbox. Our goal is to provide teams that can address our customers’ problems in a way that also fits their budget.
Founder/President
Rob Broadhead
Rob is a seasoned software developer and technology professional. His background includes over 30 years of design, development, and solution creation. It contains various enterprise systems on multiple system architectures and platforms to custom solutions for small businesses. His roles have included staff developer, director of development, architect, database administrator, and many others.
He founded RB Consulting in 2001 as a software development and implementation company. However, after witnessing many poorly planned and designed projects, he altered the business focus. Thus, the primary focus is helping customers create well-designed project plans and navigate the vast sea of technology. This includes building teams/departments or turn-key solutions to address needs today and in the future. There is also a software development wing of the company and implementation consulting. We aim to help our customers find the best solutions for their business problems and avoid cost overruns that seem to plague IT projects. That goal was vital in writing the project planning e-book.

Our Focus
We Use Four Key Approaches To Improvement
We have found that there are four key ways to improve an organization or process. Those tools are how we prepare your organization up for the future.
Simplification
Simplifying your technology can reduce costs, improve performance, and make your operations more agile. By streamlining systems and eliminating unnecessary tools, you will cut overhead, minimize downtime, and boost efficiency. A leaner tech stack is easier to manage, scales more smoothly, and allows your team to focus on what drives growth.
Innovation
Innovation accelerates the path to business goals by enabling smarter, more adaptive technology strategies. Rather than relying on outdated or piecemeal systems, innovative solutions allow businesses to rethink processes, enhance user experience, and gain a competitive edge. A forward-thinking technology approach not only supports current needs—it opens the door to new opportunities.
Integration
Integrating systems eliminates data silos, streamlines workflows, and improves decision-making by giving teams a unified view of operations. When your tools talk to each other, you reduce manual work, cut errors, and increase speed across departments. Effective integration drives smarter processes, better customer experiences, and a stronger return on technology investments.
Automation
Automation reduces manual effort, lowers operational costs, and boosts efficiency by handling repetitive tasks consistently and quickly. It enables teams to focus on higher-value work, minimizes human error, and ensures processes run smoothly around the clock. With the right automation in place, businesses can scale faster, respond quicker, and maintain a competitive edge.
