History

Edgewater Technology (Edgewater) was founded in 1992 by Shirley Singleton and David Clancey. Shirley Singleton served as the company's president from 1992 through 2002. The company grew from a five-person shop to a 150-person professional services organization before being acquired in 1999 by StaffMark, a publicly traded international billion dollar staffing organization. Edgewater was an operating subsidiary focusing on project-based IT consultancy business under the StaffMark organization. In January 2002, StaffMark changed its name to Edgewater Technology, Inc., as well as its Nasdaq ticker to EDGW, and moved its public company structure from Fayetteville, Arkansas to Wakefield, Massachusetts. Shirley Singleton was then named the company's president and chief executive officer.
