Founded in 1990, the idea of providing technical contracting and perm placement services was inspired by Annette Quintana. Denver’s sunshine and outdoor activities were an attraction for highly talented IT leaders with an interest in the lifestyle that Colorado offered. With US West as a first customer, Annette, along with her sister, Victoria, grew the business with a service ethic that today is reflected in our core value of “Service Beyond Reason.”
At Istonish, we live by four values that are grounded in the enduring legacy of the Istonish founders:
We demonstrate service holistically to our clients, each other, and our community, dependably taking all possible measures to resolve issues and complete our tasks.
We strive to understand all aspects of our clients’ cultures, work styles, and delivery method so we can support them properly. We also master the content and technologies we provide for them so they can meet their goals.
We create win-win relationships with our clients, and we encourage the success of our coworkers. We also give back to our community by investing in causes that are important to us.
We seek to learn, to grow personally, to grow our business and our clients’ businesses.We encourage learning and growing on an individual level and on a business level.
At Istonish, our journey began in 1990, and we’ve been thriving ever since. Over the past three decades, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with clients of various sizes, ranging from Fortune 500 giants to mid-market companies and State, City, and County clients. Our primary focus has been to deliver exceptional IT solutions.
Our shared values, unwavering integrity, and commitment to fostering long-term relationships with our clients are what set us apart. It is through these principles that we have not only grown but also evolved as a company.
We take immense pride in the trust and confidence our clients place in us, and we continuously strive to exceed their expectations. Istonish is dedicated to delivering IT solutions that drive success and innovation.
