Edge Solutions & Consulting

What Edge Solutions & Consulting does

EDGE Solutions & Consulting is a privately held US enterprise IT consulting and managed services firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Agoura Hills, California. The company was acquired in 2020 by current CEO Sandee Garfield, with founder Marti Reeder remaining as President. EDGE operates with 51–100 employees and serves mid-to-large enterprise clients across healthcare, financial services, government, higher education, banking, insurance, and other regulated industries.

The firm delivers services across six core practice areas: AI & Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Digital Employee Experience (DEX), Hybrid Cloud, Mainframe Architecture, and Project Management. Technical capabilities span multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), hybrid on-premises/cloud infrastructure, and legacy IBM mainframe platforms including a claimed world-leading practice in Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS) high-availability and disaster recovery consulting. AI capabilities are delivered as advisory and integration services using partner platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Teradata, and Nexthink, with proprietary frameworks including a DEX Maturity Model and, most notably, PROJECT AEGIS, an IT procurement framework targeting 5–15% capital cost reduction for organizations with $10M+ in recurring IT spend.

EDGE's go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales supported by elite-tier channel partnerships (Dell Platinum, Nutanix Champion Reseller, AWS, Azure, GCP, NetApp, HPE, Teradata, Nexthink Partner of the Year 2024). Revenue is generated through professional services fees, recurring managed services contracts, staff augmentation billing, and the procurement economics model of PROJECT AEGIS. Pricing is custom and quote-based with multi-year contract cadences. The company distributes through direct enterprise engagement and channel partner co-delivery, with no self-serve or transactional channels.
