People. Process. Product.
Done right.
Great organizations empower their best people to do their best work. That’s why for more than 20 years, Garnet River has been a relationship-oriented, conversation-first company built around multi-disciplinary practice groups. While people and process are defined and valued differently by different organizations, getting them right means everything to everyone…and we have the talent, experience, and technology platforms to help you do it.

Let’s go farther, together
Garnet River was first known as a UNIX engineering firm, with a Java development center. The expertise-based approach we developed over 20 years ago still drives all we do and deliver today—across an expanded platform of staffing, solutions, and products…powered by great people, proven processes, and innovative technology. Here are three reasons why we remain a great business partner.
RELIABLE
Founded in 2000—with a culture centered on “practical idealism”—we are privately held, stable, transparent, and financially strong.
AGILE
With a team of experienced specialists, 100+ employees, and 20 contractors, we provide on-demand services and support.
EFFECTIVE
Whether cutting costs and improving efficiency, ensuring security, or staffing with success, we offer a strong value proposition.
Multidisciplinary & Collaborative
Garnet River has three delivery channels: Business and IT Solutions, Staffing, and Products. What makes us unique is not the breadth of our expertise—though it’s unmatched in Upstate New York—but rather our culture of collaboration and ability to support any operational need a business or organization may have—whether it’s augmenting staff with highly qualified, vetted professionals; tapping into the knowledge of subject matter experts around strategy and growth; or leaning on talented business and development partners to bring a product idea to life.

Confessions of an ERP specialist: RPA is a quicker, easier solution
Change can be hard. Recognizing there is a need for change might be harder. Especially if your passion is bringing order to chaos. Here, Garnet River’s RPA practice lead, Bethany Savage, shares how her experience with ERPs has informed her approach to automation and the adoption of a “quick and easy” mindset.
Hiring in a low unemployment rate environment
With our Staffing division, Garnet River is in the business of jobs. The more, the better. But if you tune in to the news, you might be aware that low unemployment has a couple of corollaries: it drives inflation and it makes it difficult for companies to find the skilled workers needed to meet demand and grow. While economics is beyond our pay grade, we can offer some solutions for organizations struggling to hire.
A lesson about caring learned from an exercise in branding
“A good intention with a bad approach often leads to a poor result,” says Thomas Edison. We agree, and this video of a baby elephant not being willing to leave the side of its mud-stuck mother is a great example. Not only does the baby elephant keep getting stuck itself, it also gets in the way of the workers who are trying to free its mother. The lesson: sometimes we can all use a little help.
