About Grooper
Our History Makes The Difference
Our history as a document data processing / AI acceleration company dates back to the days when microform scanning and conversion was the big deal. Though our company began in 1986, Grooper was created in 2015.
Over the years, our clients have created powerful business outcomes across all industries, such as:
- Financial services
- Local, state, and federal government
- Energy
- Insurance
- Technology providers
- Higher education
- And many others
A Big Transition
Although the decision we made was entirely our own, in some ways our hand was forced.
From the earliest days, we’ve lived by our mantra: “tackle the hardest projects that deliver the most valuable, substantial, and measurable business impact.”
Committed to doing the hard things, the crossroads we came to challenged us to do something a reseller had never been done before:
Become a software company.
And the tragedy that started it all? Failing innovation in the document capture world. Stuck with technology that couldn’t meet client demand, our choice was to either continue writing endless code to patch aging software, or start all over.
We chose to start all over and develop a software with an aspiration to match our mantra.
A Better Way to Develop Software
Two guiding principles steer Grooper’s success:
1. No Outside Funding
We believed that success hinged upon our 30+ years of experience as a data integration company – not the whims of outside investors.
2. 100% Internal Development
By building our own software development team, we would remain agile, responsive, and fully in control over all stages of product development. At no point have we ever outsourced code development.
In addition, we bring something unique to data integration:
First and foremost, we develop software that meets our own rigorous demands. We still tackle the hardest projects we can find.
But now, instead of writing add-on code, we enhance Grooper with the AI acceleration innovations that modern business demands.
Secondly, our history in the industry gives us an (almost) unfair advantage. Because we’ve been there, we know what works and what doesn’t.
The Most Important Ingredient - Our People
The most important elements of any company are it’s people. And that’s definitely true at Grooper, the wonderful folks that have brought us along this journey.
We’ve assembled a group of talented, dedicate experts who are also fun to work with. And that shows in everything we do. With an employee retention rate of over 98% and an average tenure of 9 years, we’re all committed to the long haul, and to your success.
