What Conquest Consulting does

Conquest Consulting LLC is a privately held IT consulting and talent solutions firm founded in 2005 and headquartered at 3000 Polar Lane, Unit 803, Cedar Park, Texas. The company delivers IT services spanning Big Data, Cloud Computing, Business Intelligence, AI/ML, IoT, Robotic Automation, Blockchain, DevOps, Cybersecurity, and API/Microservices architecture, primarily organized around two Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative contracts — DIR-CPO-5461 (ITSAC, IT Staff Augmentation with hourly not-to-exceed rates across 11 competency categories) and DIR-CPO-5945 (DBITS, Deliverable-Based IT Services covering Application Development/ERP, BI/Data Management, and IT Assessments/IV&V/Procurement Advisory). The firm maintains specialized ERP practices in CAPPS (State of Texas PeopleSoft ERP), PeopleSoft, and Oracle, and holds a Texas Certified HUB designation supporting preferential access on state procurements.

The business model is professional services–driven: staff augmentation is billed on hourly rates, projects are delivered against Statement of Work under DBITS, and a separate training catalog offers instructor-led Hadoop/Big Data courses priced from $250 for crash courses to $1,000 for full programs. Customer concentration is split between public sector (Texas state agencies, local governments, and public education via DIR) and private-sector enterprises, with marketing-side logos naming AT&T, General Motors, Verizon, AMD, Dell, Allstate, HP, GAP, Freescale, and Foard. Distribution is direct sales plus two partnership channels — IBM Watson IoT and IBM Sterling — co-marketed on the company's website. The firm is founder-owned, with Ravi Pare identified as primary contact across sales, ITSAC, and recruiting functions, and reports no venture capital or external equity participation.
