The ePIVOT Story

The ePIVOT story is unique among the chronicles of small Internet companies in the last decade. During an era that witnessed a surge of "boom and bust" within the .com industry, we have enjoyed a steady pattern of business growth and technological development. Our history is characterized by themes of stability and enduring relationships amidst a climate of rapid change.

We began doing business in 1997 as Empire Professional Solutions. The web revolution was rapidly gaining momentum and the business world was beginning to recognize the potential of online technology. Our websites relied on pure HTML programming. We were grateful to acquire our first two customers - Post Falls School District in northern Idaho, and Northwest Farm Credit Services, headquartered in Spokane, Washington. We worked from the Northwest FCS building, alongside our largest customer, and had only one employee.

Today, so much has changed, and yet so much remains the same. While we continue to answer to the "EPS" acronym, we are now EPIVOT SOLUTIONS, INC. Web-based business tools aren't novelties anymore; they're essentials. Our websites reside within a portal and utilize SQL and .NET programming. While Northwest Farm Credit Services and Post Falls School District are no longer our only clients, they are still our oldest and most experienced customers. Our customer base has expanded to include clients across the country and in a variety of industries. Nonetheless, we continue to be Farm Credit web development specialists. We still visit the Northwest FCS campus regularly, but our operations are based in the Spokane Valley. In 2007, our first employee celebrated his tenth anniversary with the company. The ePIVOT team has expanded to include nine employees and two contractors.

The secret to our success? We've simply tried to stay true to our values.

 Integrity - We strive to do "the right thing" in daily business decisions and customer interactions. Our integrity has earned the long-term retention of both our customers and employees.

 Insight - We invest in understanding our clients' businesses. Our expertise has been rewarded by numerous referrals within the Farm Credit industry.

 Innovation - We're proud of our technical ingenuity and passion to continually improve. Our innovation is evidenced by the ever-expanding inventory of ePIVOT tools and frequent comprehensive upgrades to our software structure.

We've lived by these values since the beginning and will continue to operate by them in the future.
