What Skyline Technologies does

Skyline Technologies was a privately-held IT consulting and system integration firm founded in 1992 by Pat Deprey and Keith Kaufmann in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company specialized in connecting disparate enterprise systems to deliver unified data for strategic decision-making, with a service portfolio spanning business intelligence, custom software development, cloud computing solutions, enterprise portals, online marketing support, and multi-platform mobile application development. It served mid-market and enterprise clients across manufacturing (Ariens Corp, Hoffmaster), education (University of Wisconsin E-business Consortium), nonprofit/arts (Trout Museum of Art), and professional sports organizations, with delivery offices in Green Bay, Appleton, and Waukesha. Skyline was recognized by Microsoft as one of only 10 partners (out of 60,000) invited to present on mobile platform development, and the firm implemented Microsoft cloud technologies as the backbone of its integration practice.

The business operated as a professional services firm using an enterprise field sales motion, with pricing that was project-based and quote-driven rather than published. Its go-to-market emphasized business acumen and lasting client relationships over purely technical positioning, a stance reinforced when CEO Mitch Weckop joined in September 2010 from Schneider Logistics and Procter & Gamble to professionalize and scale the firm. By 2010-2011 the company had grown to approximately 100 employees and an estimated $10-12M in annual revenue, with roughly half of staff participating as employee-owners following a 2010 succession transaction led by the founders.

In February 2021 Skyline was acquired by Core BTS, which subsequently became part of NRI North America in 2022. The Skyline Technologies website now functions as a tribute site celebrating the company's history, and the firm no longer operates as an independent entity.
