What sets Riptide apart?

Reputation & Accountability

Since 1995, Riptide has built a reputation for uncompromising quality and superior results developing software systems and cloud-based solutions for hundreds of clients. In fact, over 90% of our client relationships extend over a 5-year period, resulting in long-term and repeat business from customers who are fully satisfied with our business process. Riptide is 100% American-owned and operated, and uses only on-shore, U.S. resources.

Flexibility & Adaptability

Our philosophy works with our client as we follow our process. Riptide provides multiple engagement options in order to capture the highest possible ROI for your project. We begin by researching the possibility of low cost SaaS or on-demand software functionality seeking to reduce start up costs and lead times. Contrary to many software companies, we do not look to develop a new software solution at the outset. If a custom software is necessary we can even include software source code and extensive design documentation as part of project final deliverable.

Technology

Riptide architects are technology agnostic, period. We remain neutral in that we look first to leverage our customer's existing infrastructure. We choose the most efficient approach using our customers existing infrastructure and we partner with every major technology platform in the industry today to guarantee success. This is a fresh approach to technology stack selections.

Solutions Built to Last

Riptide open architectures and flexible designs make for simple, cost effective and highly precise custom work. Riptide thrives in the IT world; our products are built by us, but made for you in your environment. Very often our agility limits needs for customizing to only the key aspects of our customers request.
